1. General observations
Toozdey.com is a social website where users can upload articles and comment on them. The articles are classified in eight different topics: Entertainment, Style, Sports, Food, Technology, Politics, Lifestyle and Business, each one ideintified with a different color. There are six different kinds of page: Homepage: displays all the article previews in chronological order, with an infinite scroll system. Topic page: displays all the topic related article previews in chronological order, with an infinite scroll system. Serch result page: displays all the results of the search article previews in chronological order, with an infinite scroll system. Article page: displays the cover image, the article text, a media gallery and a comments section. User page: displays the users profile information, usage statistics and all the articles previews and comments by that user. Sign up page: displays the sign up form.
In addition to those pages there are many interactions displayed in form of pop-up windows. those appear centered on the users screen, while the rest of content is covered with a 50% opacity gray layer that centers the users attention on the new window.

Tasks to perform
Create a toozdey account Publish an article Add a comment Modify their profile picture
It took some time for users A and D to find the add new post icon inside the profile section of the header, and users A, D and E couldnt find easily the login icon but reached the Sign in window when trying to perform any action that required to be registered. All the other tasks were performed without any kind of issue.
Wireframe improvemets
The testing wireframe was improved with an add post icon next to the login icon where it can be easily found.
