Meograph is a very useful service. However, the interface and web service does have some simple problems. The biggest problem that a user runs into is the navigation. There is no menu bar placed on the homepage, or anywhere within the website for that matter. In a place where most websites would have a menu or some sort of navigation tool (the top), you can see below that Meograph does not. While the site does an excellent job of separating groups within the “homepage” a user still has to scroll all throughout one page to find the information they are looking for.

 

The second problem a user will run into is the lack of video services provided. Users are limited to just YouTube clips when creating their story. YouTube does have almost everything you are looking for, however, Meograph does not allow you to use your own video clips or other services such as Vimeo. I would like to see the ability to upload a video or the ability cross-reference other video websites other than YouTube. You can see in the picture below that YouTube (left) is the only way of gathering video.

 

One more constraint that Meograph has are the links to external websites. When you click on a tab at the top of the homepage, it takes you to the website of whatever company you clicked on. It is understandable to do this, especially if the partnership calls for it, however, creating a link to another page within the Meograph website is more beneficial for users to stay on their page. I would recommend adding another page that shows examples of the companies that use Meograph, while staying in the Meograph website. Directing users to another website often results in loss of purpose and the user will not return back to the Meograph site while browsing.
