About BarbaraR443

The date and time fields for event registration is too limited for my client's purposes. My client often has weekend workshops and the system only allows us to show start date and time and end date and time; so the Fri. eve class could start at 4pm - 8pm, Sat. 10-4, and Sun. 9-12. I struggle with how to present that in the limited amount of info. I'm allowed. Do I say Starts Fri at 4 to Sun at noon? That would display: Fri., 4:00 -to- Sun 12:00. I hesitate to do that because some could interpret that as Friday starts at 4 and Sun starts at 12, and may think, "oh good, I can go to church in the morning". If it was clear no one would miss Sunday's class and people could plan knowing they have Sat. night free or if they're long days they may have to take other things into consideration. So, If this could be addressed, that would be helpful. Thank you. ... View more

To register for event on a mobile device, the reader needs to give their email add. before even getting to reg. form. They cannot proceed without doing that. This was jarring to me. I heard the same reaction from 2 of my clients. People assume they're getting put  on an email list. Later on in the reg. form there's the option to get on the email list but they don't know that when they're bluntly, initially asked for their email add. I might abort the registration if I was sitting on the fence and just took a leap or if I was going to the registration pg. for clarification (not everyone is clear in their communications - particularly in the events - my client often has weekend workshops and the system only allows us to show start date and time and end date and time so the Fri. eve could start at 4pm - 8pm, Sat. 10-4, and Sun. 9-12. I struggle with how to present that in the limited amount of info. I'm allowed. Do I say Starts Fri at 4 to Sun at noon? That would display: Fri., 4 -to- Sun 12. I hesitate to do that because some could interpret that as Friday starts at 4 and Sun starts at 12, and may think, "oh good, I can go to church in the morning". If it was clear no one would miss Sunday's class and people could plan knowing they have Sat. night free or if they're long days they may have to take other things into consideration. So, If that could be addressed too, that would be helpful - if the system would let us put in multiple day events with a clear showing of dates and times.) As for the registration on mobile,  perhaps some verbiage could assure the person they're not getting put on a mailing list - perhaps letting them know it's  for confirmation purposes only.
