Learn More

When a prospective user of Readingful clicks or taps the "Learn More & Try Free" button on Readingful's homepage, those components shall fade out, and the "Learn More" page's component's shall fade in. I think the best marketing pages are very simple and have limited options, as the goal is typically to get the user to take the first step, and, in our case, that's account creation. So, this philosophy of simplicity I applied to this design. As shown in the first mockup, above, it consists of Readingful's logo, with a an introduction video below. Then, in the top right there's a navigation menu (video, samples, contact), and of course, in the bottom right is the "Sign Up" module. You'll notice that this arrangement of components is very much like the "Teacher Dashboard," albeit with a few changes. It has a title heading, but no subheading, and the content area is somewhat narrower, but has the same height.

 

Introduction Video

Just like the intro video on Readagogo, this one will be a short, 2 to 3 minute introduction to the basics of what Readingful offers. In the admin panel, the admin will have the ability to upload/replace this video, give it a title, subtitle, and beginning image. The play button should increase from the 50% it begins at, to 75% on hover, and 100% on click. The video should simply play in place.

 

Sample Texts

The second button in the right side navigation menu should replace the video with a listing of 3 sample texts the prospective user can try, to test drive the student reading and quiz taking experience, prior to signing up for an account, as shown in the second mockup above. These three sample texts will be set by the admin, which may change according to the month. So, we'll likely add the ability for the sample texts to be assigned any number of months of the year, so that they may change with the season. Never a bad idea to show at least one seasonal text, as teachers love their holidays. In addition to this panel showing when visited via the menu, I'd also like it to automatically load after the video begins playing. That way, a prospective user can go right from watching the video, to experiencing Readingful, straight away. In mockup, you'll see that the sample text entries consist of an image to the left, with a story title, genre, and synopsis beside it. On hover, the decorative right arrow shall be replaced with the "Read It" button, along with the story's background switching to a highlight color. Clicking the "Read It" button should initiate the student reading experience for said text.

 

Ask a Question

In the third mockup above, I'm showing the module that allows the prospective user to reach out with a question, prior to creating an account. This module is accessible via the third button in the navigation menu. Here, the user should have to populate both form fields, prior to the "Submit" button becoming active. The infoline footer should switch from "140 characters max." to "48 characters max." when the user clicks into the email address field. When the user presses "Submit," let's show the processing animation, along with "Sending your message..." in the infoline footer. The message should simply be forwarded directly to support@readingful.com. Upon a successful sending, the success message shown in the fourth mockup, above, shall be shown. When the user clicks the "Close" button, either the video or sample texts modules shoudl replace it (whichever state the user had been engaged with, prior to accessing the contact module).
