We don’t want “outside” help.  We aren’t going to contract anything out. We 
have hired more of our own programmers and are still looking for more.   The 
new UI is about to go live.  Just a couple small things left to do.

I've been telling Jim the same thing for a long time. You've worded it better 
than me. Their UI/UX needs some serious outside help, but while they claim to 
be open to suggestions, they won't hire the help, or maybe they just don't 
understand the difference they'd achieve with a quality user experience.

I think they are stuck in the 90's when it comes to web design and layout.

I don't foresee this changing anytime soon.

I don't have all of the answers, but there are people that do web page design 
to make it more intuitive.  Here are some examples:

http://www.designforfounders.com/web-app-ux/

I don't know how to do this, but there are consultants that do.  The 
functionality of TowerCoverage is there, but the user interface is lacking.

You can complain about people not reading directions or you can make its easier 
to read the directions - or make the flow so that they don't even need to read 
the directions.  The best sites guide people along with different pages for 
different steps - don't put too much information on each page.

We spend an inordinate amount of time with people that just don't 'get' what 
the EUS form wants them to do.  We find that they don't why they need to move 
the pin to their location or have no idea what Captcha is.

We could spend the money to have someone write (and maintain) a page to work 
with the API, but that's what we pay TowerCoverage for.

The back end is there, now it just needs a better user interface.  Often the 
people writing web site backends are not the same people writing the front end, 
it's a whole different way of thinking.
We give you the ability to edit the text in the landing page they get to 
explain what happens next.  You can also edit the text on the title of the 
iframe.  If you’re using the API and have your own form then obviously you can 
explain how it works there.  Not much we can do about users that don’t read the 
instructions and message text before just hitting back and resubmitting.

We’re open to suggestions on better ways to do things.

Could be the prospective customer is expecting an instant reply about service 
availability and fills out the form and retries.

I've watched people fill out the form.  It's unintuitive and confuses a lot of 
people.

Take a look at your EUS data.  Lanich hit submit 3 times about 30 seconds 
apart.   Did you get multiple emails for Cutlip EUS? Cutlip has a single 
submission.

When a customer goes back to submit again they would need to re-captia so it’s 
not like they can just click and click again.

It seems to come and go.  I really doubt customers are clicking it fast and it 
seems to come and go.  There is only one API push which I believe confirms 
customers are only clicking it once.
