The identified issues within the task analysis
Simplify the navigation menu by grouping related items logically. The first login page should be more visually appealing and include a larger font size, a school emblem or other design, and a phone number for the school's helpdesk prominently displayed. Implement a search
bar prominently to allow users to quickly find what they're looking for. Streamline the registration process into fewer steps. Provide clear instructions for registration at each stage. Enhance product pages with comprehensive information, including detailed descriptions, specifications, images, and customer reviews. Consider implementing a Q&A section where users can ask specific questions about products. Implement responsive web design to ensure optimal viewing and interaction across a wide range of devices. Increase button sizes, optimize font sizes, and prioritize essential content for mobile users. To make registration easier, a back-
button or prototype with the table of contents would be helpful.
