My MVP is ready, I'm just very apprehensive about my site. I spent all of my time on the machine learning model, but know very little about UX design. I would appreciate any constructive criticism to help me improve my landing page.
Aww man, is it already ski season in CO? It's 90 degrees today in the BA...
So I would say the most important thing for your case is to present the data in a way that's easily digestible by the common ski enthusiast. Overall, this means going away from graphs and numbers.
Traffic forecast:
does pain level equate increased traffic? As a driver I can relate to a scale that would be say 10 = fluid traffic, going at maximum speed and 1 = bumper to bumper, haven't moved in 20 minutes.
visually the bar chart is the most explicit to me: I understand that red means bad, and therefore Mon-Wed are better. You might also want to consider a green to red scale and remove the legend since it doesn't add anything.
on the other two line charts, I can also gauge that I'll have a much better time driving at midnight rather than 3pm. However I'm not sure how bad 3pm is. See comment about pain level definition; it'd be useful to have a single, easy to understand metric used everywhere
I would consider splitting EB and WB in two different graphs
Current conditions:
that data is straightforward to understand. I would add spaces between words (Average Speed, Travel Time)
one thing that often trips me up when I go skiing is that I see the current travel time and think it's a good time to go. However what I often forget is that everyone thinks it's the right time to go, so the final travel time ends up doubling. Maybe you could add a "forecasted travel time if you leave now" to the table?
Forecast details:
this one is a bit of a nightmare for the lay person. How about hiding as much of the raw data and graphs as possible, and linking them out under a title that says "Are you a data nerd? Find more info here"
Thanks for putting this together! Definitely useful.
Looks good. I would recommend keeping a consistent header/hero image at the top of every page, not just the 'About' and 'Contact' pages. Also, the copy alignment should have a bit more consistency. It doesn't matter if you left or center align, so long as it stays consistent throughout your site. Good job!
I’d try putting bigger labels, like an H2 or H3 for the charts on the home page - especially on the phone you have to really look for what that chart is. Also, having a “last updated” time somewhere to help people realize this is current.
“Have feedback” maybe belongs in the footer and I stead you should bring current conditions to the Home page.
Can this program helps to calculate the time of construction? I want to use for my website, you can see here https://cornerstonebuilthomes.com/
Sorry, I don't think it would really apply here.
your website has pretty low performance scores - https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse/viewer/?psiurl=https%3A%2F%2Fskitraffic.io%2F&strategy=mobile&category=performance&category=accessibility&category=best-practices&category=seo&category=pwa&utm_source=lh-chrome-ext

Awesome, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. It is much appreciated! I definitely understand the data nerd section lol :)

Good feedback thanks! I'll add a consistent hero image.

Good luck!
Good tips, thanks! I'll look at changing the headers and I like the idea of a last updated timestamp.
