Agree re MVP. Keeping project pages focused on project-specific info makes sense to me. However, I think it would be good to have a green-yellow-red "account health" type of indicator that's on all pages when you're logged in, perhaps as part of the header, linking to the dashboard. When it's yellow or red, we want to draw people's attention to that even if they're on a project page. When it's green, it provides a nice "feel good" cue and context to whatever you're doing on the site. > >> Dashboard: >> >> * I'd like to address what seems to be fear #1 when it comes to the >> financial part: the limit. > > I do not really understand the purpose of showing a number that is > twice the current limit. It seems pretty arbitrary. > I agree. However, showing the current max on a scale with red, yellow, and green zones could be helpful I think - kind of like a fuel tank gauge or something like that. >> * "Status" is only relevant if thinks are not ok, so unless there are >> problems that shouldn't be there > > +1 Good point. However, I'd like to explore ways to do this without throwing out the table format in my mockups, which I think is helpful, both because it provides a simple clean layout and because it enables "Total" and "Reduced total" rows that show that information in clear visual relationship to the numbers that make up the total and reduced total. One simple way would be to put the "Suspended" text after the project name, so that column would get wider in this case rather than having a "Status" column that, as mray points out, isn't really relevant when everything is OK. > >> * "Action" could be integrated a bit more to make this feel less like a >> dry listing of numbers > > I actually like the dry numbers with separate action button more. I also prefer the numbers with separate action button. I think key information like the numbers should be as easy to read and understand as possible, and I think a simple familiar table format achieves this better than integrating numbers into action buttons. > >> https://github.com/jdittrich/quickMockup > > That's a cool tool!

I look forward to trying it. _______________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/design
