Re: [Skunkworks] [ke-internetusers] KRA website TOO SLOW - Again
Finally got in HURRAAYY! I thought you were stretching a bit about the user friendliness, but ALAS you were correct. Normaly I try to give the benefit of the doubt and ignore this lakini hapa KRA deserves a proper thrashing. A few issues: 1. What does Area mean in Section 2 of The Personal Infomation Page? 2. Try finding GPO Postal Code? 3. The main Business Activity list doesn't seem to be a good choice for what it does. Atleast a Combobox where one can type and the nearest result in brought up. 4. Last but not least the message after clicking send in the page is mind boggling: "Your form doesn't present mistakes, please review the information before send it!" (That's exactly how it is). All in all this site gets about 3/10 (and I'm being good coz it's Friday). 3 Coz it's technically faulty (load times) and that indicates poor design which likely means there could be other technical issues, Not user friendly, Not elegant (it's a public website, make it attractive, appealing, ...). All the best to the dev team. I know one or some of you will curse me for this email. What you feel when you curse me is what 1000s of Kenyans feel when they access the website 8~). Now imagine 1000s of curses!
