GCG, it loaded quickly in my case: Responses below

@GCG post:1

1. Please follow this link, http://www.tutudesk.org/. What is your first impression of the homepage? a bit stark and dark…

2. What is this website about? The Tutudesk; your campaign and creating a more equitable learning environment in Africa.

3. How many pages did you have to click through/how much did you have to read, before the purpose of the site became clear? I’m biased…

4. Do the pages and imagery inspire emotion in you? If so, what? Not really becoz I’ve been working in this environment for more that 30 years.

5. Do you feel inspired to contribute towards this initiative, either in person, or encouraging your company to contribute? NA I have in fact done so via Gawie…

6. Please explain the above answer:

7. Do you see value in this initiative, either for the country, or your company as a CSI project? NA but yes absolutely

8. Which pages do you find the most irrelevant/boring/uninformative? Read them all, but due to bias went through them quickly…not sure they always answer what a potential donor would like to see, i.e. How can I/we help?

9. What, personally, would you like to see different in this website? I liked the menu…maybe a bit squiggly…what about a FAQ page? What about some children’s testimonials (I’ve seen them and they’re amazing) what about teacher testimonials? What do parents think? I’d like to smell the odour of happiness!

10. What industry sector do you work in, and what level do you occupy (e.g.: Engineering, HR Manager) Socio-economic development…you know the rest! ;D

It also loaded very quickly for me,

1 Please follow this link, http://www.tutudesk.org/. What is your first impression of the homepage? Doesn’t immediately grab my attention - picture and logo exactly the same- any need for duplication main pic could be more revealing in what ngo is actually about - overview page as homepage?

2. What is this website about? donating writing surfaces to children

3. How many pages did you have to click through/how much did you have to read, before the purpose of the site became clear? clicked on “the campaign” and got the info 2 clicks

4. Do the pages and imagery inspire emotion in you? If so, what? I think there could have been more use of “heart sting pulling” images some pics are taken too far away

5. Do you feel inspired to contribute towards this initiative, either in person, or encouraging your company to contribute? yes possibly

6. Please explain the above answer: it seems an original, simple yet effective improvement in education - linked to MDGs

7. Do you see value in this initiative, either for the country, or your company as a CSI project? yes

8. Which pages do you find the most irrelevant/boring/uninformative? home page, ask yourself

9. What, personally, would you like to see different in this website? it feels a bit impersonal, can a change of font change how people feel??!

10. What industry sector do you work in, and what level do you occupy (e.g.: Engineering, HR Manager) Education, head of department
