Potential User Wants
These are things that, as a person who would use the site, I want. I'm not a member of the Coworking Clique and I have no previous relationship to the gang:
- Clearly Stated Hours of Operation
- It's okay if you're not open all the time, but finding out when you're open should be as easy as visiting a web page or subscribing to a feed.
- Clearly Stated Pricing Structure
- Money is a bitch. Money issues should be cold, formal, and well-defined. I should be able to view the pricing structure and immediately know without talking to anyone whether or not I can afford it and what it is going to run me.
- Part of the pricing structure is a clear statement, possibly with pictures, of what you get for your money. Folks can come out and try, but in this asyncronous age it should be possible to have a good initial guess of how things will work for you without having to inconvenience yourself with a trip to the space to try it out.
- Testimonials of folks who I may be coworking with.
- What's it like? What sucks, what rules?
