I made this slide last week, but when I was looking at it, I was thinking I want some pictures to go here to make it more interesting to look at.  Also I want the pictures to go along with the theme I'm going for and I'm unsure what to use.
What I'm thinking is getting rid of that last box on the bottom and replacing it with just a button that says "Click here to Get Started with Advanced Search" all in blue hyperlink color.  That would free up some space to put pictures in the 2 other boxes.

Now here's a question I have.  Should the FAQ slide have sample questions from the FAQ? Or should it just be an introduction to the FAQ with a link to the full FAQ, similar to what is already on the slide?  I'm going to consult the boss on this one.

As of now, the FAQ and the Law We Abide By slides and pages are all getting their information from clinicaltrials.gov.  It's the easiest way to get the most accurate answers to most of the questions our users would ask and accurate information relating to laws that govern our existence.
The About This Site page needs input from Dr. Atreja.  I'm not sure exactly what information should go on there exactly, since I haven't been with the hospital since this project's inception.

Hey Evan! It's good that you are critiquing your own work because it will lead to a better product in the long-run. Here are my suggestions:
- keep the colors consistent. Almost all apps have a color/font scheme that is common to each page, with little deviation.
- I understand that the point of the app is to inform, but as you heard from yesterday's webinar, it should also engage! Make it more interactive...be creative, think out of the box.
- Yes, the FAQ should have sample questions and answers
- avoid links/hyperlinks to other pages. To make it more interactive, make buttons!
*Check out these websites and draw inspiration from other apps:
