Page Flow

True Fans Page

• Description
  • Showing motivational content about OSE, its importance, tangible outcome, etc.
  • Allowing subscription.
• Transitions
  • Recognition Page
    • Requirements: all data for the user is gathered: Name, Email, Subscription (verified, PayPal for now). This means that the user will be forwarded to PayPal, will subscribe, and then comes back to a page of ours - Recognition Page or a temporary page where he can fill out additional information (City, Country, ...) and after submitting these forwarded to the Recognition Page.
    • Effects: the user is added as a True Fan, an embeddable badge is created for him, email notifications is sent to him containing a link to the recognition page.
    • Final State: the user is logged in his Recognition Page

Recognition Page

• Description
  • If The True Fan is logged. Edit mode is available:
    • He sees his information and edit links for video, photo and text are available for clicking.
    • When he saves some information, he will be offered a link to the Share page.
  • If it is not the True Fan who is logged, or it is an anonymous user:
    • The person sees the information the True Fan has saved.
    • Under that is the TF subscription.
    • There is a login link somewhere (top-right?), so that if this is the TF itself, he can login to his page.
• Transitions
  • Share Page
    • Requirements:
      • TF of the Recognition page should be logged
      • video or text should be filled out.
      • The TF clicks on the "Share page" link.
    • Effects: no
    • Final State: the TF is logged in the Share page.

Share Page

• Description
  • If The True Fan is logged. Edit mode is available:
    • The TF writes the name, email of several of his friends, and clicking on each one of the added friends, he can add a personal video and text below. He can add/remove/edit friends and their data.
    • He can send the data either to one of his friends (maybe a button to the right of the email) or to all of them (asking for confirmation).
  • If it is not the True Fan who is logged, or it is an anonymous user:
    • the page is not accessible.
• Transitions
  • Share Page
    • Requirements:
      • TF cliks on invite friend, or invite all friends.
    • Effects:
      • a notifications appears that the friend/s was/were successfully invited.
      • a link is offered back to his Recognition Page. In this case he can just open it (this transition understandable and will not be described).
    • Final State: the TF remains on the Share page.

Strategy

Video

The videos can be

• youtube video (easy to program, time-intensive for the user)
• flash camera recorder (harder to program, quick to record for the user, lower quality)
