BEFORE:


Key findings and opportunities for improvement include:
-
Inconsistent Table Styling: The two tables on the page feature differing styles in terms of color, font, text alignment, and sorting/filtering options, leading to a disjointed user experience.
-
Accessibility Issues: The color contrast of sorting icons and text within filtering boxes is insufficient, failing to meet the recommended 4.5:1 accessibility ratio.
-
Tab Styling: The visual design of the tabs lacks cohesion and requires refinement for better usability.
-
Instructional Text Readability: The paragraph above the second table is not easily readable due to inadequate left margin. This text should be more distinguishable as instructional content to guide users effectively.
-
Button Placement: The "Reset" and "Import" buttons are misplaced at the bottom of the page, disrupting the visual hierarchy and usability.
-
Inactive Button States: The "Import" button is currently active, even when no items in the table are selected. This behavior needs to be corrected to prevent user errors.
