Our users favorite tool so far was the excel spreadsheet. They’d signup and walk into the product and fall into the dashboard page. It was beautiful, but it made no sense to them. What was success rate? How did that matter to them and where did what I do, correlate to what was on the screen? It was confusing.. And with our analytics tools, we’d see them hover and stick around there for a bit trying to figure this out.
We moved on to swallow our pride and the beautiful dashboard and land them to a page that would lead them through the product.
