MUST DO BEFORE LAUNCH
Fix Content Management
 We just tried to make some changes to the content of the website through the ‘Content Management” tab
of the website. When we tried to save our changes, all of the content from the page was deleted.
 We are unable to upload the content again to the page (it doesn’t save).
 Please fix this ASAP.
Tagging Content to Restricted vs Premium
 We are keen to make it easier to tag the content that will be available for restricted accounts and content
that will be available for premium accounts.
 Rather than have to tag every question, flashcard and studynote individually using the method in the
scnreenshot below (which is very time consuming), we are hoping to just mark all content for specific
StudySessions to each account type.
 Can you think of a way to do this? Perhaps we should create another tab in the Admin panel which contains
the options for marking particular StudySessions as either “All” or “Premium Only”.
 The idea is that we will probably allow Restricted users to see only 3 StudySessions of content in each exam
(with the remainder restricted to Premium members only)
 Thanks.
PRIORITY AFTER LAUNCH
Formatting of About the CFA Page
 There are a few issues with the formatting of the About the CFA page (highlighted in the red boxes the
below).
 The problem with the red box towards the top left of the screenshot is that the text overlaps with the blue
background. The issues with the other red boxes should be self explanatory.
Remove User Feedback Tool
 Can we please remove the user feedback tool from the website (ie that little button on the left hand side of
each page)?
 Please leave the data collection etc in the admin panel of the website because we are hoping to add an
improved version of the feedback function later on.
Forums
 Please delete all developer Forum posts.
Improve Method for Uploading FlashCards
 We need to improve the method that we use to upload and view the FlashCards.
 Rather than waiting for each slide to load as an image, we would rather users be able to view them
similarly to powerpoint slideshows.
 This will reduce the time it takes to upload the content and improve the usability of the FlashCards.
 We will need to convert the PPTX file into a pdf file and display it in one of the many PDF viewers.
 To do this, we will need to remove the editor box and instead impose a functionality to upload only the pdf
files through Browse button. If so, then a single pdf will be uploaded for each StudySession.
 We would use one of the following solutions to display:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4853898/display-pdf-within-web-browser
 More info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/886144/any-tools-libraries-to-convert-ppt-and-pdf-
files-to-flash-swf-on-server-side?rq=1
 We understand that we probably want to use Flash.
 Lets talk about the options that we can use to do this.
 When we do, we will need to change the user progress score calculator to adjust the progress of the
FlashCards. We will talk about this then.
Change Course Material Progress Weights
 Once we have found a better way to upload the FlashCards (ie pdf rather than images) we will need to alter
the calculation of the user progress scores.
 At the moment we give 1 point to the users progress score for a user for each FlashCard that they view.
 Given that we may no longer be able to measure when they view each FlashCard image, we will need to
give them a one off score when they open each FlashCard file (and assume they look through all of it at
once).
 Lets give each user 50 progress points each time they open the FlashCards for a specific StudySession.
 We may need to chat about this project on Skype. Please let me know if these instructions are not clear.
 Thanks for your help.
QuestionBank Question Filter
 Need the QuestionBank Filter to always have an option for “All Readings in this Study Session”. We spent
some time working on this a couple of months ago, but it seems to have disappeared.
QuestionBank Heading
 Delete the Word “StudyNotes” from the heading in the QuestionBank section of the content
FlashCards Heading
 Change The Heading “StudyNotes” to “FlashCards” in the FlashCards section of the content
Improve Format of Mock Exam Summary Table
 If the user hasn’t attempted the Mock Exam yet, in the score, result, percentile and time to complete
column, please mark “na”.
 Please also improve the format of the “Facebook Post” button to make it more consistent with the way the
Facebook logo and colour appears.
 Perhaps make the heading of the column Post Results to Facebook and then a little Facebook symbol in
each column.
Fix Function and Formatting of Bookmarks Page
 Please make the following changes to the Bookmark page:
• Remove the space between the words “Study Notes” to make it “StudyNotes”
• Remove the space between the words “Question Bank” to make it “QuestionBank”
• Remove the “:” at the end of each heading
• Fix the Bookmarks function… ie when we try to click on content which has been bookmarked, it
doesn’t take us to the content (ie it doesn’t work).
Fix Logout Page
 When we log out of AnalystBuddy, the page comes up blank. Can we please just return to the homepage.
 http://analystbuddy.com/logout.php
Improve Layout of QuickLinks Page
 Can we please improve the format of the Quicklinks page to make it a little more interesting?
 We are keen to icons (perhaps with screenshots of each page) rather than the text links.
 It would be good if we could make the layout something like this (which is similar to what you have done
for the Formula Sheets page)?
http://twodegreesfood.com/about/media-and-press-kit/
 Given the QuickLinks may change over time, it would be good if it is quite simple to add new links over
time (if possible).
Improve Usability of Mock Exams
 When a user is working through a Mock Exam and selects “submit your answer”, please make the screen go
to the next question automatically (rather than them having to select the “Next” button as well.
 At the moment, the user needs to click “Submit your Answer” and then click “Next”.
 Then, please change the text of the “Submit your Answer” button to “Submit” and the text on the “Next”
button to “Skip”.
Member Details Data Download
 Add Detail to Member Download Spreadsheet Summary (such as date signed
up, level, paid, city, country, CFA Association, Method of Discovery, whether on email distribution list etc).
 It would be good if it can contain all of the data that we have about a potential user.
Adjust Registration Complete Message
 I am not sure whether this has been done or not yet. Please check and if not, change.
 Can we please adjust the registration complete message to say:
Congratulations on creating your AnalystBuddy account.
In a few minutes, you should receive an email confirming your new account details.
Throughout your exam preparation, please let us know if you have any ideas on how we can better help you
efficiently pass your CFA exam.
All the best for your exam preparation!
The AnalystBuddy Team.
Create Automatic Registration Confirmation Email
 Can you create an automatic email to be sent to subscribers after they register for AnalystBuddy (both paid
and non-paid)?
 Is it possible to create these in HTML format? If so, can we please use something like the picture below?
 We have created a template for this email that we can email through to you which should help.
 Ideally, it would be good if we could control the text in the emails through the admin panel of the site (if
this is easy)?
 Thanks...
Improve Formatting of Automated Emails
 We are keen to improve all of the automatically generated emails that are sent throughout the website. We
also need to make some changes to the content of the emails.
 Some other examples would include the Password Reminder, Tell A Friend, Refer 3 and Get AnalystBuddy
Free (including the update emails... Eg I think the user gets an update email each time one of the people
that they referred signs up for a paid subscription).
 We are keen to improve the format of the emails to make them more user friendly.
 Ideally, it would be good if we could control the text in the emails through the admin panel of the site (if
this is easy??).
 We may need to chat about this project on Skype. Please let me know if these instructions are not clear.
 Thanks for your help with this...
Fix Friend Referral Discount
 One of the promotions that we offer, is that a member is able to refer their friends to AnalystBuddy and
their friends receive $10 off their subscription when they sign up.
 However, we just tested using the referral fee to sign up and unfortunately it didnt give the user the $10 off
(ie after registering, the paypal page still requested $69 (it should have been $59).
 Can you please check that is still broken. If it is broken, can you please fix this?
Remove Check In at AnalystBuddy Button
 Get Rid of the Check In at AnalystBuddy button from the left hand side bar.
 We want to leave all other Check In at AnalystBuddy buttons.
MODERATE PRIORITY
Prompt Users to Upgrade to Premium Account
 We are keen to improve the way that Restricted Members are prompted to upgrade to a Premium Account
when they try to access content which is only available for Premium Members.
 Restricted Members will only have access to 3 Study Sessions of Course Materials (out of 18 Study
Sessions), 1 Mock Exam, and Formula Sheets. They should be able to read the Forums, but not add posts.
Additionally, they will not be able to use the Progress Checker.
 Every time that the Restricted Member tries to access any of this blocked content, it would be good if a
popup appears which lets them know that this feature/content is only available to Premium Members and
prompting them to upgrade to Premium Membership (with a link to the page where they can upgrade their
membership).
 Also, it would be good if we could somehow identify which Study Sessions that they have access too (eg
colour the other Study Sessions tabs in a different colour etc). This will mean they can avoid clicking
through every Study Session until they find the 3 that are free for them to use.
Progress Table on Welcome Page
 Bold and Background Shade (in a light blue colour) the Subject name in the Progress Checker Table (ie those
that have a red box around them in the screenshot below).
QuestionBank “Check Solution” Button
 Change the “Submit Your Answer” to “Check Solution” and make button smaller
Sign In Section: Add Sign Up Now Button
 Add “New to AnalystBuddy? Sign up now.” hyperlink below the Forgot Your Password link.
 Please use the same font and format as the Forgot Your Password hyperlink.
Auto Logout Warning
 Prior to automatic logout, is it possible for a warning to pop up 30 seconds beforehand suggesting that if
the user is inactive on the site for the next 30 seconds then they will be logged out.
 Perhaps the message could read:
“Due to inactivity, you may be logged out of AnalystBuddy shortly. To remain logged in, move the mouse
now”
 Also, it would be good if the version of the home page that a user arrives at after being automatically
logged out mentions that they were automatically logged out of last session (if not too difficult.. It this is
difficult, then we are happy to skip it).
Facebook Buttons on Welcome Page
 Reduce the Size of the Facebook Buttons on the Welcome Page and improve the position of the Facebook
buttons on the welcome page.
 The text on the buttons can be “Post Progress” and “Check In”. Leave the little Facebook symbol on the
button).
Change Error Message for Incorrect Login Details
 Please change the error message to “Your login details are incorrect”
 Please also improve the layout of this message so it doesn’t appear over the top of existing text (as it does
in the screenshot below)
Finish The Test Button
 Change to name of the “Finish the test” button to “Mark My Exam”
Change Font and Size of Sign In Details
 Fix the font of the email address when entered into the Sign In box and also make sure it does not move
out of the box (as it does to the right of the box in the screenshot below)
Divert Incorrect AnalystBuddy.com Addresses
 Can you please divert incorrect web addresses within Analystbuddy.com back to our Home Page?
 For example, if someone enters an incorrect analystbuddy.com URL (such as www.analystbuddy.com/wrong
) it would be good if they could be diverted to our home page (rather than this). We have seen this with
other sites.
Fix Refer Friends Email Template
 In the Refer Your Friends section of the website, we currently allow users to alter the template email which
will be sent on their behalf.
 We are happy to remove ability for users to change text in Standard Email on Refer Friends Section
 However, we still want to show the message that will be sent to the users friends on their behalf.
 It would be good if we could control the content of these emails through the admin panel of the website (if
possible).
LOW PRIORITY
Make Fonts Consistent Across All Pages
 Can we please improve the consistency of fonts across all of the pages of the website:
 Ideally, it would be good to use the format of the heading in the example below.
Also, can we please use the same font and format (want to use Arial and make the size and colours consistent
across all pages). For example, some which dont currenty match are: 1: QuestionBank Filter
Form, Bookmarks, Forums, QuickLinks, MockExams page, Some options on the sign up page.
Please have a look throughout the site and find and fix other examples. Thanks...
Build In User Feedback Tool
 We are keen to build in a user feedback tool (ie that little button on the left hand side of each page)?
 I think there might be some free feedback plugins that we might be able to use?
 We would like to make it similar to this example (http://www.webreep.com/). We are happy to keep the
same types of feedback (such as Complaint, Bug, Content, Suggestion, Complement, Other).
 Also, it is probably worth stating somewhere that the feedback relates to the current page that the user is
viewing (rather than just the website as a whole).
 Also, would it be possible to adopt a user star rating poll type of system on each page of
StudyNotes, QuestionBank question, Mock Exam question, and FlashCard? For example, like the star rating
below each article on this blog? http://www.recall.com/blog/tag/document-management/
Format of Formula Sheet Page
 Can we please improve the format of the Formula Sheet page to make it a little more interesting?
 Similar to the QuickLinks page, we could just add a little screenshot of the formula sheet next to the
heading and hyperlink.
View the Tour Page Formatting
 View The Tour Page – align the headings down the page with the text
Figure Out Why Website Crashes
 AnalystBuddy seems to crash a couple of times every day (on some occasions for up to a couple of hours at
a time).
 This will be an issue and very frustrating for our users.
 Can you please determine the cause of the problem and implement some solutions?
 Please let me know if you have any ideas of how this can be fixed (ie if we will need to change web hosts
etc)
Fix Cause of this Error Message
 Please stop this error from occurring (happens when we try to click on new QuestionBank questions
without completing a different set).
 I am not sure whether this still occurs or not? If you cant find out why, we will check whether the error still
exists or not. Thanks.
Unable to Delete Content
 We are having trouble deleting previously added content through the admin panel.
 When we select the “delete” button, it says “Content Successfully Deleted”, but it remains in the list. This is
the same with users in the Member list etc (see next slide).
 Can you please fix this?
Change View The Tour Page Heading
 Change Title of “View the Tour” to “Why Use AnalystBuddy”?
Create AnalystBuddy Introduction Video
 We are keen to create a video explaining the benefits and features of AnalystBuddy. One example is the
video available at: www.dropbox.com
 We want the video to include screenshots of someone using AnalystBuddy, particularly through the various
Course Material such as the StudyNotes, FlashCards, QuestionBank, MockExams, FormulaSheets, and
Course Material.
 We want an enthusiastic American accent overlay explaining the various features.
 Please have a go at writing the script based on text within our website (look at Take The Tour and FAQ
pages for ideas), as well as the popups which appear in the Course Material section. We will then edit the
script before production.
 We are not sure whether we want to include the video on our home page or within the Take the Tour page
(our instinct is to include it on the home page).
 Please let me know if you have any queries.

Improve Formatting of ProgressChecker
 Is there a way that we can improve the formatting of the ProgressChecker?
 We are keen to make it more engaging by adding graphics (ie charts) which demonstrate user progress and
performance better than the big crowded table that we currently have. While we think that we should keep
the table, we could also look to add some charts.
 One idea that we have is adding a “Course Map” which puts the whole course in perspective and allows the
user to drill down into various areas of the course to see their progress and performance. We can explain
what we mean when looking through this.
 Ideally, it would be great to add charts through a function whereby users can see their progress and
performance by Subject Area etc...
 We have heard that Google Charts is a useful plugin that might help?
 Please have a think about this and lets chat about any ideas that you have (including how long you think
they will take to implement etc).

Ways to Show User Progress
Importance: Low
We are not entirely happy with the layout and function????ty of the ProgressChecker section of
our website and are looking for ideas of ways that we can improve it.
Can you please come up with at least 10 examples of ways that other eLearning websites show
student progress and performance over time?
We are especially interested in examples where they compare the progress and performance to
other students.
It would be great if you could provide the web address and also some comments on what you
liked about each of the examples that you find.
Please complete the table in the excel workbook that we have sent through… Thanks heaps!
Ability to Track User Progress Over Time
 It would be good if we could track the progress of each user through the Course Material over time.
 That is, each day it would be good if the database could take a snapshot of the progress to date (ie % of
course materials completed) and performance (QuestionBank performance to date) of every user, as well
as the median of all users.
 It would be good if we could download this data for every user into an Excel spreadsheet via the Admin
panel (if not too difficult… if it will take >3 hours, then we are happy to leave this). Just let us know.
 This would allow us to graph a user progress over time relative to the median user.
 Also, it would allow us to determine how long it has been since the user has logged in (or made progress in
their studies). This will allow us to send reminder emails to users when they haven’t logged in for a long
time.
 Please let us know if you have any queries.
Importance: Very Low
Add Rotating Customer Testimonials to Home Page
Importance: CRITICAL
Due Date: ASAP
Team Member: Saurya
 We want to give the appearance as though the website is popular.
 One way that we think we can do this, is by adding rolling customer testimonials to our home page.
 That is, we want it to be like a slideshow of say 5 testimonials (that we can update through the admin
panel) which rotate every 5 seconds.
Add Newsletter Sign Up to Home Page
 XXXXXXX
Change Forums to “Online Tutor” (1/2)
 We want to rebrand the Forums function to “Online Tutor”
 Additionally, the concept will change slightly. Instead of being just a standard Forum, Online Tutor will
allow members to post questions which can be answered by other AnalystBuddy members or the
AnalystBuddy Online Tutor.
 We will employ a contractor answer questions in the Online Tutor every 3 days.
 We suspect that the difficulty with the programming will be consolidating the “General Forum” with the
“Forum” available within each Study Session (see screenshots below). We can chat about this if it is going
to be difficult to figure out an easier way to do it.
Importance: Low
Change Forums to “Online Tutor” (2/2)
 Some of the features of Online Tutor that we are keen on are:
 We will structure the Online Tutor according to Key Topics within each StudySession (perhaps allow us to control the
Online Tutor Topics from the Admin page and make sure that we can organise by StudySession).
 Email participants when there has been a new comment in a thread that they are involved in (eg like Facebook does
when there is a new comment in a photo that you posted or commented on).
 Allow users to comment on other members comments (organise like the comments section of this article:
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/power-blackens-blues-20120603-1zpfo.html#comments)
 Want to allow user ability to rate each comment (potentially the 5 star rating system).
 We also want to make the forum/online tutor content visible to Google.
 This is obviously a very difficult task. Hence, please dont hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
Formatting of User Comments (1/2)
 Make it so it is easy to comment (maybe like Facebook)
 However, unlike the example above, we do not want to bold the names of the users making the comment.
Additionally, we are happy to use the date that the post was made (rather than the number of minutes
ago).
Formatting of User Comments (2/2)
 Change text “No Posted Comments Found” to “Be the first to comment on this StudyNote”.
 Also, can you please change the format of this text to make it more consistent with the rest of the site (ie
colour and font).
Admin Control of Forum Posts
 Is there a way that admin can control forum posts (ie delete forum posts that are not acceptable)?
Tripadvisor do this (http://www.tripadvisor.com/help/why_was_my_forum_post_removed).
 Also, it would be great if users can respond to particular comments in the forum... ie make them grouped
such as the user comments in this article (http://www.theage.com.au/travel/travel-news/grounding-
positive-for-qantas-brand-joyce-20120213-1t0nz.html)
Importance: Moderate
DON’T “NEED” TO DO
Create Search Box
 We are keen to add a search box which allows users to search the content of AnalystBuddy.
 The access to the various results will depend on whether the user is a member or not, and if so, what class
of membership they have.
 For example, if the search results relate to a StudyNote that is available to free members, then a prompt
should appear over the StudyNotes requesting that the user register for Free account in order to view the
StudyNotes (with a like to the Sign Up page).
 If the search result relates to a StudyNote available only to premium members, then a prompt should
appear over the StudyNotes requesting that the user register for Premium account in order to view the
StudyNotes (with a like to the Sign Up for premium account page).
Importance: Low
Recommendations On How To Speed Up Website
 At the moment AnalystBuddy is quite slow to load from time to time.
 Can you please see if there are some statistics that we can get that measure the speed of the site?
 If it is slower than others, can you please try to find out why it is so slow?
 Is there anything that we can do to fix it?
 Can you please come up with >5 recommendations of things that we can do to improve the speed of the
site?
 Should we look to change Web Servers? I am not attached to GoDaddy. I have heard good things about
HostGator.

Home Page Refresh
Importance: CRITICAL
Hour Cap: ????
Due Date: ?????
Team Member: ????
 The site looks a bit too much like our nearest competitor (www.analystnotes.com)
 Is it simple to change the appearance of the site (but to keep the same functions)?
 We were hoping to use a similar format to http://www.desire2learn.com/ (or something like that)…
 We notice that you have created a lot of sites like this in our portfolio….
Add a Blog to our Website
Importance: CRITICAL
Due Date: ASAP
Team Member: Saurya
 We are keen to add a Blog function to our website.
 We want it to be a similar format to this: http://twodegreesfood.com/blog/ It is important that each blog
post has a separate page (ie unique URL) as we are planning to link to them from other sources (eg our
newsletter, Facebook page etc).
 Also, we will need a link to it on the main menu of the Home Page (ie the menu options across the top)
 It would also be good if we could add a global feed to the home page content (for example, like the
example below, with rotating recent stories)
Increase Security of Content
 Can you think of any ways that we can reduce the risk of content theft?
 We want to avoid users copying our content (particularly the StudyNotes) and pasting it into word
documents.
 Is there any way that you can think of that will work?
 Some ideas that we have are:
 Disable the Copy Function: Is there any way to disable a users ability to copy text from the website?
We are keen to improve the security of the content of the website.
 Can we disable right click function?
 Make it difficult for users to copy text: At worst case, it would be good if we could make it so that it is
very difficult for the user to copy slabs of text.
 Please let me know what ideas you have and we will assess them and come up with the correct strategy.
Thanks for your help.

Fix Layout of Facebook Page (1/2)
 Our Facebook page was built for the old format of Facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391
 Are you able to modernize it to make it fit better with our timeline page:

I don’t know if we
need this anymore if
we run a blog kind of
facebook wall. Can
just have all of our
content on the
timeline.
Fix Layout of Facebook Page (2/2)
 The sub pages that we are keen on beyond the timeline are:
 eNewsletter (copy intrepid but make the sign up form with must less information like what we have at
the moment... Name, Email Address, Target Exam). Also, it would be great if we could somehow
integrate user details of those who sign up to our eNewsletter via the Facebook page with the
eNewsletter subscriber details in the Admin panel of our webiste (ie those who subscribed via our
website). However, if this is too difficult (ie take >3 hours), let us know.
 Articles: Want to include our key articles (note that our eNewsletter will link to these articles).
http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391
 Promotions (see
http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391).
However, we would rather have this as a separate page (rather than a popup).
 Links: We are keen to include buttons to the key links of our website (Such as “Sign Up For Free
Account”, “Sign Up For Premium Access Now”, “About the CFA”, “About AnalystBuddy”.
 Also, we want to give away a Free eBook to all users who “Like” AnalystBuddy and/or Subscribe to our
eNewsletter. This will be a PDF file. Is there a way to automatically allow them to download it when
they Like us? We can probably just automatically email it to users who join our email distritbution list.
I don’t know if we
need this anymore if
we run a blog kind of
facebook wall. Can
just have all of our
content on the
timeline.
GZIP Compression for Website
 We are hoping that you can undertake a GZIP Compression of our website in order to increase the speed of
the site?
 The purpose of this is to increase the speed of our website.
 Please make sure that we do not ruin any of the function????ty of our website by doing this. If there is any
risk that this will occur, we will not do this.

Post Progress on Facebook Buttons
Importance: Low
We are keen to increase the integation of Facebook with our users.
At the moment we have quite a few features when a user signs up to AnalystBuddy using Facebook (ie they can post to
Facebook wall, post results of Mock Exams, or Study Progress).
We are keen to allow users who don’t originally sign up to AnalystBuddy using Facebook to do the same thing (that
is, either allow them to integrate with Facebook later on), or provide options for these features and then the Facebook
sign in popup occurs.
Please let me know if you have any queries on any of this.
Customize Facebook Posts
 Can we please alter the labels next to the boxes which allow us to customize the content of Facebook
posts?
Importance: Very very Low
We came across this guide on Facebook which suggests that we should be able to get an auto popup which
allows users to customize text to post on their walls from the AnalystBuddy site after all? Is this the case? If
so, this is still our preference.
See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/ for details..
Get User Facebook Photos for Posts
 Is it possible to get user photos through Facebook connect? If a user does not connect through
Facebook, can we allow them up upload a photo of themselves through the My Account page?
 We are keen to use these photos next to forum posts etc if possible in order to person????se the site....
 One example of a site that does this is www.tripadvisor.com

New Ideas for Features to Add to AnalystBuddy
Importance: Low
We are keen to ensure that AnalystBuddy is an innovator in terms of the features that we offer our members.
Can you please spend 3 hours researching/thinking of some new ideas for new features that we can add to
AnalystBuddy in order to make us more unique.
Perhaps come up with a list of ideas of features that we could add (including hyperlinks to examples where
possible).

Formats of Different Online Multiple Choice Tests
Importance: Low
We are trying to come up with some ideas on better ways to format the QuestionBank and MockExams from

formatted?
Please highlight your favourite 3.
Please include a the website address and a quick comment on what you liked about it.

130428 web maintenance projects focus list sent to saurya

  • 1.
  • 2. MUST DO BEFORE LAUNCH
  • 3. Fix Content Management  We just tried to make some changes to the content of the website through the ‘Content Management” tab of the website. When we tried to save our changes, all of the content from the page was deleted.  We are unable to upload the content again to the page (it doesn’t save).  Please fix this ASAP.
  • 4. Tagging Content to Restricted vs Premium  We are keen to make it easier to tag the content that will be available for restricted accounts and content that will be available for premium accounts.  Rather than have to tag every question, flashcard and studynote individually using the method in the scnreenshot below (which is very time consuming), we are hoping to just mark all content for specific StudySessions to each account type.  Can you think of a way to do this? Perhaps we should create another tab in the Admin panel which contains the options for marking particular StudySessions as either “All” or “Premium Only”.  The idea is that we will probably allow Restricted users to see only 3 StudySessions of content in each exam (with the remainder restricted to Premium members only)  Thanks.
  • 6. Formatting of About the CFA Page  There are a few issues with the formatting of the About the CFA page (highlighted in the red boxes the below).  The problem with the red box towards the top left of the screenshot is that the text overlaps with the blue background. The issues with the other red boxes should be self explanatory.
  • 7. Remove User Feedback Tool  Can we please remove the user feedback tool from the website (ie that little button on the left hand side of each page)?  Please leave the data collection etc in the admin panel of the website because we are hoping to add an improved version of the feedback function later on.
  • 8. Forums  Please delete all developer Forum posts.
  • 9. Improve Method for Uploading FlashCards  We need to improve the method that we use to upload and view the FlashCards.  Rather than waiting for each slide to load as an image, we would rather users be able to view them similarly to powerpoint slideshows.  This will reduce the time it takes to upload the content and improve the usability of the FlashCards.  We will need to convert the PPTX file into a pdf file and display it in one of the many PDF viewers.  To do this, we will need to remove the editor box and instead impose a functionality to upload only the pdf files through Browse button. If so, then a single pdf will be uploaded for each StudySession.  We would use one of the following solutions to display: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4853898/display-pdf-within-web-browser  More info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/886144/any-tools-libraries-to-convert-ppt-and-pdf- files-to-flash-swf-on-server-side?rq=1  We understand that we probably want to use Flash.  Lets talk about the options that we can use to do this.  When we do, we will need to change the user progress score calculator to adjust the progress of the FlashCards. We will talk about this then.
  • 10. Change Course Material Progress Weights  Once we have found a better way to upload the FlashCards (ie pdf rather than images) we will need to alter the calculation of the user progress scores.  At the moment we give 1 point to the users progress score for a user for each FlashCard that they view.  Given that we may no longer be able to measure when they view each FlashCard image, we will need to give them a one off score when they open each FlashCard file (and assume they look through all of it at once).  Lets give each user 50 progress points each time they open the FlashCards for a specific StudySession.  We may need to chat about this project on Skype. Please let me know if these instructions are not clear.  Thanks for your help.
  • 11. QuestionBank Question Filter  Need the QuestionBank Filter to always have an option for “All Readings in this Study Session”. We spent some time working on this a couple of months ago, but it seems to have disappeared.
  • 12. QuestionBank Heading  Delete the Word “StudyNotes” from the heading in the QuestionBank section of the content
  • 13. FlashCards Heading  Change The Heading “StudyNotes” to “FlashCards” in the FlashCards section of the content
  • 14. Improve Format of Mock Exam Summary Table  If the user hasn’t attempted the Mock Exam yet, in the score, result, percentile and time to complete column, please mark “na”.  Please also improve the format of the “Facebook Post” button to make it more consistent with the way the Facebook logo and colour appears.  Perhaps make the heading of the column Post Results to Facebook and then a little Facebook symbol in each column.
  • 15. Fix Function and Formatting of Bookmarks Page  Please make the following changes to the Bookmark page: • Remove the space between the words “Study Notes” to make it “StudyNotes” • Remove the space between the words “Question Bank” to make it “QuestionBank” • Remove the “:” at the end of each heading • Fix the Bookmarks function… ie when we try to click on content which has been bookmarked, it doesn’t take us to the content (ie it doesn’t work).
  • 16. Fix Logout Page  When we log out of AnalystBuddy, the page comes up blank. Can we please just return to the homepage.  http://analystbuddy.com/logout.php
  • 17. Improve Layout of QuickLinks Page  Can we please improve the format of the Quicklinks page to make it a little more interesting?  We are keen to icons (perhaps with screenshots of each page) rather than the text links.  It would be good if we could make the layout something like this (which is similar to what you have done for the Formula Sheets page)? http://twodegreesfood.com/about/media-and-press-kit/  Given the QuickLinks may change over time, it would be good if it is quite simple to add new links over time (if possible).
  • 18. Improve Usability of Mock Exams  When a user is working through a Mock Exam and selects “submit your answer”, please make the screen go to the next question automatically (rather than them having to select the “Next” button as well.  At the moment, the user needs to click “Submit your Answer” and then click “Next”.  Then, please change the text of the “Submit your Answer” button to “Submit” and the text on the “Next” button to “Skip”.
  • 19. Member Details Data Download  Add Detail to Member Download Spreadsheet Summary (such as date signed up, level, paid, city, country, CFA Association, Method of Discovery, whether on email distribution list etc).  It would be good if it can contain all of the data that we have about a potential user.
  • 20. Adjust Registration Complete Message  I am not sure whether this has been done or not yet. Please check and if not, change.  Can we please adjust the registration complete message to say: Congratulations on creating your AnalystBuddy account. In a few minutes, you should receive an email confirming your new account details. Throughout your exam preparation, please let us know if you have any ideas on how we can better help you efficiently pass your CFA exam. All the best for your exam preparation! The AnalystBuddy Team.
  • 21. Create Automatic Registration Confirmation Email  Can you create an automatic email to be sent to subscribers after they register for AnalystBuddy (both paid and non-paid)?  Is it possible to create these in HTML format? If so, can we please use something like the picture below?  We have created a template for this email that we can email through to you which should help.  Ideally, it would be good if we could control the text in the emails through the admin panel of the site (if this is easy)?  Thanks...
  • 22. Improve Formatting of Automated Emails  We are keen to improve all of the automatically generated emails that are sent throughout the website. We also need to make some changes to the content of the emails.  Some other examples would include the Password Reminder, Tell A Friend, Refer 3 and Get AnalystBuddy Free (including the update emails... Eg I think the user gets an update email each time one of the people that they referred signs up for a paid subscription).  We are keen to improve the format of the emails to make them more user friendly.  Ideally, it would be good if we could control the text in the emails through the admin panel of the site (if this is easy??).  We may need to chat about this project on Skype. Please let me know if these instructions are not clear.  Thanks for your help with this...
  • 23. Fix Friend Referral Discount  One of the promotions that we offer, is that a member is able to refer their friends to AnalystBuddy and their friends receive $10 off their subscription when they sign up.  However, we just tested using the referral fee to sign up and unfortunately it didnt give the user the $10 off (ie after registering, the paypal page still requested $69 (it should have been $59).  Can you please check that is still broken. If it is broken, can you please fix this?
  • 24. Remove Check In at AnalystBuddy Button  Get Rid of the Check In at AnalystBuddy button from the left hand side bar.  We want to leave all other Check In at AnalystBuddy buttons.
  • 26. Prompt Users to Upgrade to Premium Account  We are keen to improve the way that Restricted Members are prompted to upgrade to a Premium Account when they try to access content which is only available for Premium Members.  Restricted Members will only have access to 3 Study Sessions of Course Materials (out of 18 Study Sessions), 1 Mock Exam, and Formula Sheets. They should be able to read the Forums, but not add posts. Additionally, they will not be able to use the Progress Checker.  Every time that the Restricted Member tries to access any of this blocked content, it would be good if a popup appears which lets them know that this feature/content is only available to Premium Members and prompting them to upgrade to Premium Membership (with a link to the page where they can upgrade their membership).  Also, it would be good if we could somehow identify which Study Sessions that they have access too (eg colour the other Study Sessions tabs in a different colour etc). This will mean they can avoid clicking through every Study Session until they find the 3 that are free for them to use.
  • 27. Progress Table on Welcome Page  Bold and Background Shade (in a light blue colour) the Subject name in the Progress Checker Table (ie those that have a red box around them in the screenshot below).
  • 28. QuestionBank “Check Solution” Button  Change the “Submit Your Answer” to “Check Solution” and make button smaller
  • 29. Sign In Section: Add Sign Up Now Button  Add “New to AnalystBuddy? Sign up now.” hyperlink below the Forgot Your Password link.  Please use the same font and format as the Forgot Your Password hyperlink.
  • 30. Auto Logout Warning  Prior to automatic logout, is it possible for a warning to pop up 30 seconds beforehand suggesting that if the user is inactive on the site for the next 30 seconds then they will be logged out.  Perhaps the message could read: “Due to inactivity, you may be logged out of AnalystBuddy shortly. To remain logged in, move the mouse now”  Also, it would be good if the version of the home page that a user arrives at after being automatically logged out mentions that they were automatically logged out of last session (if not too difficult.. It this is difficult, then we are happy to skip it).
  • 31. Facebook Buttons on Welcome Page  Reduce the Size of the Facebook Buttons on the Welcome Page and improve the position of the Facebook buttons on the welcome page.  The text on the buttons can be “Post Progress” and “Check In”. Leave the little Facebook symbol on the button).
  • 32. Change Error Message for Incorrect Login Details  Please change the error message to “Your login details are incorrect”  Please also improve the layout of this message so it doesn’t appear over the top of existing text (as it does in the screenshot below)
  • 33. Finish The Test Button  Change to name of the “Finish the test” button to “Mark My Exam”
  • 34. Change Font and Size of Sign In Details  Fix the font of the email address when entered into the Sign In box and also make sure it does not move out of the box (as it does to the right of the box in the screenshot below)
  • 35. Divert Incorrect AnalystBuddy.com Addresses  Can you please divert incorrect web addresses within Analystbuddy.com back to our Home Page?  For example, if someone enters an incorrect analystbuddy.com URL (such as www.analystbuddy.com/wrong ) it would be good if they could be diverted to our home page (rather than this). We have seen this with other sites.
  • 36. Fix Refer Friends Email Template  In the Refer Your Friends section of the website, we currently allow users to alter the template email which will be sent on their behalf.  We are happy to remove ability for users to change text in Standard Email on Refer Friends Section  However, we still want to show the message that will be sent to the users friends on their behalf.  It would be good if we could control the content of these emails through the admin panel of the website (if possible).
  • 38. Make Fonts Consistent Across All Pages  Can we please improve the consistency of fonts across all of the pages of the website:  Ideally, it would be good to use the format of the heading in the example below. Also, can we please use the same font and format (want to use Arial and make the size and colours consistent across all pages). For example, some which dont currenty match are: 1: QuestionBank Filter Form, Bookmarks, Forums, QuickLinks, MockExams page, Some options on the sign up page. Please have a look throughout the site and find and fix other examples. Thanks...
  • 39. Build In User Feedback Tool  We are keen to build in a user feedback tool (ie that little button on the left hand side of each page)?  I think there might be some free feedback plugins that we might be able to use?  We would like to make it similar to this example (http://www.webreep.com/). We are happy to keep the same types of feedback (such as Complaint, Bug, Content, Suggestion, Complement, Other).  Also, it is probably worth stating somewhere that the feedback relates to the current page that the user is viewing (rather than just the website as a whole).  Also, would it be possible to adopt a user star rating poll type of system on each page of StudyNotes, QuestionBank question, Mock Exam question, and FlashCard? For example, like the star rating below each article on this blog? http://www.recall.com/blog/tag/document-management/
  • 40. Format of Formula Sheet Page  Can we please improve the format of the Formula Sheet page to make it a little more interesting?  Similar to the QuickLinks page, we could just add a little screenshot of the formula sheet next to the heading and hyperlink.
  • 41. View the Tour Page Formatting  View The Tour Page – align the headings down the page with the text
  • 42. Figure Out Why Website Crashes  AnalystBuddy seems to crash a couple of times every day (on some occasions for up to a couple of hours at a time).  This will be an issue and very frustrating for our users.  Can you please determine the cause of the problem and implement some solutions?  Please let me know if you have any ideas of how this can be fixed (ie if we will need to change web hosts etc)
  • 43. Fix Cause of this Error Message  Please stop this error from occurring (happens when we try to click on new QuestionBank questions without completing a different set).  I am not sure whether this still occurs or not? If you cant find out why, we will check whether the error still exists or not. Thanks.
  • 44. Unable to Delete Content  We are having trouble deleting previously added content through the admin panel.  When we select the “delete” button, it says “Content Successfully Deleted”, but it remains in the list. This is the same with users in the Member list etc (see next slide).  Can you please fix this?
  • 45. Change View The Tour Page Heading  Change Title of “View the Tour” to “Why Use AnalystBuddy”?
  • 46. Create AnalystBuddy Introduction Video  We are keen to create a video explaining the benefits and features of AnalystBuddy. One example is the video available at: www.dropbox.com  We want the video to include screenshots of someone using AnalystBuddy, particularly through the various Course Material such as the StudyNotes, FlashCards, QuestionBank, MockExams, FormulaSheets, and Course Material.  We want an enthusiastic American accent overlay explaining the various features.  Please have a go at writing the script based on text within our website (look at Take The Tour and FAQ pages for ideas), as well as the popups which appear in the Course Material section. We will then edit the script before production.  We are not sure whether we want to include the video on our home page or within the Take the Tour page (our instinct is to include it on the home page).  Please let me know if you have any queries. Importance: Moderate Hour Cap: Budget $30 Due Date: XXXXX Team Member: XXXXX
  • 47. Improve Formatting of ProgressChecker  Is there a way that we can improve the formatting of the ProgressChecker?  We are keen to make it more engaging by adding graphics (ie charts) which demonstrate user progress and performance better than the big crowded table that we currently have. While we think that we should keep the table, we could also look to add some charts.  One idea that we have is adding a “Course Map” which puts the whole course in perspective and allows the user to drill down into various areas of the course to see their progress and performance. We can explain what we mean when looking through this.  Ideally, it would be great to add charts through a function whereby users can see their progress and performance by Subject Area etc...  We have heard that Google Charts is a useful plugin that might help?  Please have a think about this and lets chat about any ideas that you have (including how long you think they will take to implement etc). Importance: Low
  • 48. Ways to Show User Progress Importance: Low We are not entirely happy with the layout and function????ty of the ProgressChecker section of our website and are looking for ideas of ways that we can improve it. Can you please come up with at least 10 examples of ways that other eLearning websites show student progress and performance over time? We are especially interested in examples where they compare the progress and performance to other students. It would be great if you could provide the web address and also some comments on what you liked about each of the examples that you find. Please complete the table in the excel workbook that we have sent through… Thanks heaps!
  • 49. Ability to Track User Progress Over Time  It would be good if we could track the progress of each user through the Course Material over time.  That is, each day it would be good if the database could take a snapshot of the progress to date (ie % of course materials completed) and performance (QuestionBank performance to date) of every user, as well as the median of all users.  It would be good if we could download this data for every user into an Excel spreadsheet via the Admin panel (if not too difficult… if it will take >3 hours, then we are happy to leave this). Just let us know.  This would allow us to graph a user progress over time relative to the median user.  Also, it would allow us to determine how long it has been since the user has logged in (or made progress in their studies).

  • 50. Add Rotating Customer Testimonials to Home Page Importance: CRITICAL Due Date: ASAP Team Member: Saurya  We want to give the appearance as though the website is popular.  One way that we think we can do this, is by adding rolling customer testimonials to our home page.  That is, we want it to be like a slideshow of say 5 testimonials (that we can update through the admin panel) which rotate every 5 seconds.
  • 51. Add Newsletter Sign Up to Home Page  XXXXXXX
  • 52. Change Forums to “Online Tutor” (1/2)  We want to rebrand the Forums function to “Online Tutor”  Additionally, the concept will change slightly. Instead of being just a standard Forum, Online Tutor will allow members to post questions which can be answered by other AnalystBuddy members or the AnalystBuddy Online Tutor.  We will employ a contractor answer questions in the Online Tutor every 3 days.  We suspect that the difficulty with the programming will be consolidating the “General Forum” with the “Forum” available within each Study Session (see screenshots below). We can chat about this if it is going to be difficult to figure out an easier way to do it. Importance: Low
  • 53. Change Forums to “Online Tutor” (2/2)  Some of the features of Online Tutor that we are keen on are:  We will structure the Online Tutor according to Key Topics within each StudySession (perhaps allow us to control the Online Tutor Topics from the Admin page and make sure that we can organise by StudySession).  Email participants when there has been a new comment in a thread that they are involved in (eg like Facebook does when there is a new comment in a photo that you posted or commented on).  Allow users to comment on other members comments (organise like the comments section of this article: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/power-blackens-blues-20120603-1zpfo.html#comments)  Want to allow user ability to rate each comment (potentially the 5 star rating system).  We also want to make the forum/online tutor content visible to Google.  This is obviously a very difficult task. Hence, please dont hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
  • 54. Formatting of User Comments (1/2)  Make it so it is easy to comment (maybe like Facebook)  However, unlike the example above, we do not want to bold the names of the users making the comment. Additionally, we are happy to use the date that the post was made (rather than the number of minutes ago).
  • 55. Formatting of User Comments (2/2)  Change text “No Posted Comments Found” to “Be the first to comment on this StudyNote”.  Also, can you please change the format of this text to make it more consistent with the rest of the site (ie colour and font).
  • 56. Admin Control of Forum Posts  Is there a way that admin can control forum posts (ie delete forum posts that are not acceptable)? Tripadvisor do this (http://www.tripadvisor.com/help/why_was_my_forum_post_removed).  Also, it would be great if users can respond to particular comments in the forum... ie make them grouped such as the user comments in this article (http://www.theage.com.au/travel/travel-news/grounding- positive-for-qantas-brand-joyce-20120213-1t0nz.html) Importance: Moderate
  • 58. Create Search Box  We are keen to add a search box which allows users to search the content of AnalystBuddy.  The access to the various results will depend on whether the user is a member or not, and if so, what class of membership they have.  For example, if the search results relate to a StudyNote that is available to free members, then a prompt should appear over the StudyNotes requesting that the user register for Free account in order to view the StudyNotes (with a like to the Sign Up page).  If the search result relates to a StudyNote available only to premium members, then a prompt should appear over the StudyNotes requesting that the user register for Premium account in order to view the StudyNotes (with a like to the Sign Up for premium account page).

  • 59. Recommendations On How To Speed Up Website  At the moment AnalystBuddy is quite slow to load from time to time.  Can you please see if there are some statistics that we can get that measure the speed of the site?  If it is slower than others, can you please try to find out why it is so slow?  Is there anything that we can do to fix it?  Can you please come up with >5 recommendations of things that we can do to improve the speed of the site?  Should we look to change Web Servers? I am not attached to GoDaddy. I have heard good things about HostGator. Importance: Moderate
  • 60. Home Page Refresh Importance: CRITICAL Hour Cap: ???? Due Date: ????? Team Member: ????  The site looks a bit too much like our nearest competitor (www.analystnotes.com)  Is it simple to change the appearance of the site (but to keep the same functions)?  We were hoping to use a similar format to http://www.desire2learn.com/ (or something like that)…  We notice that you have created a lot of sites like this in our portfolio….
  • 61. Add a Blog to our Website Importance: CRITICAL Due Date: ASAP Team Member: Saurya  We are keen to add a Blog function to our website.  We want it to be a similar format to this: http://twodegreesfood.com/blog/ It is important that each blog post has a separate page (ie unique URL) as we are planning to link to them from other sources (eg our newsletter, Facebook page etc).  Also, we will need a link to it on the main menu of the Home Page (ie the menu options across the top)  It would also be good if we could add a global feed to the home page content (for example, like the example below, with rotating recent stories)
  • 62. Increase Security of Content  Can you think of any ways that we can reduce the risk of content theft?  We want to avoid users copying our content (particularly the StudyNotes) and pasting it into word documents.  Is there any way that you can think of that will work?  Some ideas that we have are:  Disable the Copy Function: Is there any way to disable a users ability to copy text from the website? We are keen to improve the security of the content of the website.  Can we disable right click function?  Make it difficult for users to copy text: At worst case, it would be good if we could make it so that it is very difficult for the user to copy slabs of text.  Please let me know what ideas you have and we will assess them and come up with the correct strategy. Thanks for your help. Importance: High
  • 63. Fix Layout of Facebook Page (1/2)  Our Facebook page was built for the old format of Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391  Are you able to modernize it to make it fit better with our timeline page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976  One page that we really like is: http://www.facebook.com/intrepidtravel Importance: Moderate I don’t know if we need this anymore if we run a blog kind of facebook wall. Can just have all of our content on the timeline.
  • 64. Fix Layout of Facebook Page (2/2)  The sub pages that we are keen on beyond the timeline are:  eNewsletter (copy intrepid but make the sign up form with must less information like what we have at the moment... Name, Email Address, Target Exam). Also, it would be great if we could somehow integrate user details of those who sign up to our eNewsletter via the Facebook page with the eNewsletter subscriber details in the Admin panel of our webiste (ie those who subscribed via our website). However, if this is too difficult (ie take >3 hours), let us know.  Articles: Want to include our key articles (note that our eNewsletter will link to these articles). http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391  Promotions (see http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnalystBuddy/212087592221976?sk=app_153284594738391). However, we would rather have this as a separate page (rather than a popup).  Links: We are keen to include buttons to the key links of our website (Such as “Sign Up For Free Account”, “Sign Up For Premium Access Now”, “About the CFA”, “About AnalystBuddy”.  Also, we want to give away a Free eBook to all users who “Like” AnalystBuddy and/or Subscribe to our eNewsletter. This will be a PDF file. Is there a way to automatically allow them to download it when they Like us? We can probably just automatically email it to users who join our email distritbution list. I don’t know if we need this anymore if we run a blog kind of facebook wall. Can just have all of our content on the timeline.
  • 65. GZIP Compression for Website  We are hoping that you can undertake a GZIP Compression of our website in order to increase the speed of the site?  The purpose of this is to increase the speed of our website.  Please make sure that we do not ruin any of the function????ty of our website by doing this.

  • 67. Post Progress on Facebook Buttons Importance: Low We are keen to increase the integation of Facebook with our users. At the moment we have quite a few features when a user signs up to AnalystBuddy using Facebook (ie they can post to Facebook wall, post results of Mock Exams, or Study Progress). We are keen to allow users who don’t originally sign up to AnalystBuddy using Facebook to do the same thing (that is, either allow them to integrate with Facebook later on), or provide options for these features and then the Facebook sign in popup occurs. Please let me know if you have any queries on any of this.
  • 68. Customize Facebook Posts  Can we please alter the labels next to the boxes which allow us to customize the content of Facebook posts? Importance: Very very Low We came across this guide on Facebook which suggests that we should be able to get an auto popup which allows users to customize text to post on their walls from the AnalystBuddy site after all? Is this the case? If so, this is still our preference. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/ for details..
  • 69. Get User Facebook Photos for Posts  Is it possible to get user photos through Facebook connect? If a user does not connect through Facebook, can we allow them up upload a photo of themselves through the My Account page?  We are keen to use these photos next to forum posts etc if possible in order to person????se the site....  One example of a site that does this is www.tripadvisor.com Importance: Very very Low
