9: Portal Home Page

One of the main interface problems we had was users not knowing what Fatbrain did. Adding a tagline that was clearer than "Because Great Minds Think A Lot" was our proposed solution. To better align with our business goals, I dividing up the space on the homepage to 2/3 consumer and 1/3 corporate. Users also had difficulty finding the old search box, so making it front and center solved this. This was the first prototype tested with users. The previous items tested well, but the drop downs did not work as navigation. Back to the drawing board!
