Recyclopedia Test Site

Posted by Charley Marchis on March 22, 2024

Here’s a link to the Recyclopedia test site for everyone to look over to make sure everything’s good before we make it live. https://azuretest.fs.illinois.edu/RecyclopediaSearch/

 

Just a couple of quick, initial feedback items on this…

 

If this will be a stand-alone page then it would benefit from at least a short executive summary – what is Recyclopedia about/goals -  and primary image (assuming this structure will be the case for populating the responses from search).  Then we would want to tether all the related pages to it as well to establish that incorporated page flow.

 

If you do not return a hit on a search, we should have some type of default contact information that encourages outreach through email if there are remaining questions (instead of just “no results”)

 

I would like to see the full list because I wasn’t able to find a few items I thought would be included (e.g., gloves). Overall, it seemed to work well and I was able to find information for most of what I searched for.  It would be nice if search data was captured to determine if new sections need to be created.

 

I have more suggestions, but just a few highlights:

 

  • The phone numbers are not to our style and would need to be redone to xxx-xxx-xxxx.
  • Use of related links, etc. should help use reduce the need for us to have to constantly use hyperlinks in the text body (e.g., work request, Service Office)
    • Should be a way to aggregate the main potential contacts and avoid redundant links (keep specific ones)
      • Or maybe build in a new section on this page specifically to address this issue – a floating footer (would take care of a majority of the links to just do WTS, DRS, etc.

 

Nice job, this will be a good resource and something that we can definitely help to rollout in the future. Let me know if you want to discuss this further.
