Comments on the Obama Site

Comments Associated with Ease of Finding Information Rating:

• They aren't making it too easy to find tax impacts for my household
• I found the tax info, but didn't find exactly what it would mean for me, personally. I couldn't narrow it down - it wasn't that detailed. I also realized that, given that it's the day before the election, the site's performing pretty well.
• I liked the tax cut calculator, although I didn't like the answer!
• they are so concerned with voting places today, that they are blocking me from finding out actual information
• I couldn't find an overtly waving photo. Thumbs up was close enough
• Other than having to go through lots of photos to find the waving hand, it was very easy to find the information.
• site was hard to navigate at first. too much information. especially on the home page.
  

Comments Associated with Visual Appeal Rating:

• too much white space for me. too many unnecessary graphics.
• Nicely designed; menu navigation intuitive to find information; like the perspective around issues, people and states.
• again a little too much

Responses to Open-ended Question about Challenging or Frustrating Aspects of the Site

• Just clarity on his plan for taxes. A lot about families and married couples, but not about single people.
• Tool for finding where to vote kicks you out another site, which was confusing. It also didn't have my voting place.
• nothing about the site. although finding a picture of the guy waving was tricky.
• Some links brought you to a different url and it was hard to get back to the main site - I had to use my back button, needed a Return to Main Site link.
• Did not recognize that the input fields for finding my voting place were input fields, at first.
• None
• None
• getting out of issue pages
• navigating back from finding a voting location
• None
• When you enter the vote for change module of the site, it is impossible to link back to the original Obama site.
• yes, on locating where I vote, it didn't offer a location
• At one point, I left the site to voteforchange.com and didn't realize I was on a different site - had to click back button to get back to obama site
• Only digging through lots of photos; other than that, fairly easy.
• accessibility
