Uncommon UX insight =================== By George Mandis https://george.mand.is/2017/01/uncommon-ux-insight Tuesday, January 24th 2017 During a phone call with a potential client today they invited me to a screen share to walk through aspects of the project. This happens a lot in [my line of work](https://snaptortoise.com), and I've been on both sides of the share screen countless times. One of the anxieties that lingers in the back of my head when I start sharing my screen is forgetting to stop sharing and continuing on with my day, diving into some embarrassing email from a friend or plodding along on Facebook or Twitter. Amusingly, I got a glimpse into wha that scenario would look like from the other side today when I watched said prospective client Google my name as we were talking. They had clearly forgotten their screen was being shared. This site is the first thing that pops up — not my business. I couldn't help it and had to say something. We both laughed and I was able to direct them to the correct site. They had simply wanted to look at some of my other work while we were talking. More interestingly I then got a chance to watch them try to find my portfolio on the correct site. On that site I have one page labeled “clients” — effectively the portfolio — and another labeled “projects” for open-source projects and other endeavors. I was surprised when they navigated straight to the projects page! I told them they should look at the clients page for a more complete list. Later I though, maybe it would make more sense to consolidate those pages and possibly rename the section to “work” or “portfolio” or something s little more clear. Two takeaways from this experience: always be mindful of when you're sharing your screen and there's no better UX review for a website sometimes than sitting someone down in front of your site and watching them try to use it!
