Data Analysis
We organize the data according to sections of the interview protocol and themes, making analyzing responses related to specific topics such as website navigation, donation process, and fundraising challenges easier.

Afterward, we used open coding analysis and axial coding analysis to extract key themes from the interviews.




Findings

Needs to Simplify Task FlowDonation process from the homepage has repetitive steps. This frustrates users, particularly those looking for a quick and straightforward way to contribute.


Lack of Sharing Options on Social MediaThe site lack an easy sharing option, which limits the ability to engage with a wider audience, particularly younger demographics.




Ambiguity between PagesThe similarities between fundraising pages with different functionalities has led to user frustration.

Recommendations
Direct Donation AccessNelson Norman’s Usability Heuristics states shortcuts helps streamline interactions for the experienced users (Nelson, 1994). So we suggest update "Donate Now" buttons for one-click redirection to the donation page, reducing clicks.
Social Media IntegrationPartner with social platforms for direct donations and one-click sharing to enhance donor experience.  
Clear Role DefinitionRedesign fundraising pages with distinct elements, color scheme, or clear labeling  to separate individual and team activities, with tooltips for guidance to align with "User Control and Freedom" heuristic by Nielsen.
