On my laptop using Windows 10 and the latest version of Firefox on full screen, the cause prioritization tool has some obvious formatting issues. The text stating “OK, got it. Tell me how to help” extends past the right edge of the button, the text in the modal window seems intended to fit on one screen but just exceeds the space allocation, requiring a scrollbar, and when you do scroll down the flowchart does not scroll with the text.
Links should open in a new window so that you can easily get back to the flowchart after getting more information.
I think the ability to follow along with the flowchart as you’re making your choices is cool, but I would suggest that until a professionally-designed version of the flowchart can be created, it would be more effective to omit it if the site is primarily aimed at audiences new to EA. Right now the visual effect is sloppy, with text colliding with lines, etc., and it creates a bad contrast with the relatively more polished quiz next to it. I doubt that most new-to-EA folks will get that much out of having the flowchart there if they already have the quiz to work with.
Let me know if you need me to email screenshots of any of this—I couldn’t figure out a way to upload them in the interface here.
Thanks Ian—agreed it doesn’t look fantastic at the moment. We embedded it on the website at the last moment and it screwed with the formatting. We’ll be working to improve how it looks over the next couple of weeks.
