Editing and improving our video FAQ page: Seeking tips and feedback

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to improve our 'Insights' page, which currently serves as a small library of FAQ videos for our users.

Here are the changes I'd like to implement:

  • Video thumbnails: I want to round the corners of all video thumbnails slightly and add a hover effect that makes the thumbnails slightly transparent. This should improve the visual appeal of the page.

  • Video playback page: Currently, when a visitor clicks on a video, they are taken to a large image of the video (see Screenshot 2). If they scroll down, they see additional content (see Screenshot 3). I would like to make the video smaller and reduce the size of the "You Might Also Like" text to create a more balanced layout.

If anyone has come across a good guide on creating a nicely designed 'video FAQ' page or something similar, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations. Otherwise, I believe the changes mentioned above will significantly optimize our current layout.

I'm also open to any other suggestions for improvement.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Julius

Hi Qvonto,

You're already on the right track with your ideas for improving your 'Insights' page! Here are a few additional suggestions to further enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of the video FAQ section:

1. Video Thumbnails:

  • Your plan to round the corners and add a hover effect is a great start. You could also try implementing animated hover effects (e.g., a slight zoom or a fade-in effect), which can draw user attention and create a more dynamic interface.
  • Another effective approach might be to use auto-generated thumbnails from important moments of each video. Tools like YouTube’s automatic thumbnail generator often pick key moments that increase engagement.

2. Video Playback Page:

  • I completely agree with your idea of resizing the video and reducing the size of the "You Might Also Like" section. A sticky video player that follows the user as they scroll could be another useful feature, ensuring that users can still interact with additional content while watching the video.
  • For additional content, you could experiment with accordion-style or tabbed sections, which can help de-clutter the page and present relevant information without overwhelming the user.

3. Designing the FAQ Page:

  • For an intuitive layout, you can try categorizing the FAQs based on topic or video length. This helps users find the content that best meets their needs.
  • If you haven’t already, consider adding search functionality for the video FAQs, so users can easily jump to the specific video or topic they are interested in.

4. Additional Improvements:

  • Timestamps within videos for key segments or answers to specific questions can improve user satisfaction and reduce search time.
  • For mobile optimization, ensure that the video player is responsive and maintains usability on smaller screens.

These changes should not only improve visual aesthetics but also enhance overall user interaction with the page. Let me know if you'd like any further assistance or suggestions!

Best regards,
[Sani]
