The 9 ball will be part of the NHS smoke free service and will be integrated into their website via a tab, it will not disrupt the look nor the feel of the current smoke free website, and will simply blend in, via a new section.
Upon clicking on the 9 ball tab, the user will then be asked to enter their e-mail, which can be a personal one or one issued by a smokefree support group member. The product will be clearly on show so that the user know they are on the correct page. Only members who are given a 9 ball by the support group will be able to enter the website.
Upon entering their username and password they will then be directed to the 9ball home page which will give them 3 main options as displayed above as well as a series of sub options in the second navigation menu.
When they click on forum this page will show up
Upon clicking My ball the statistical information for their ball will display. The colour lines will correspond to the colour of their 9ball, and upon clicking the calendar they can view each weeks progress, and their own habits. This information will also be displayed to staff members so that they know how to help, as well as other members of the support group.
Once they have clicked on group ball, all the group members statistic will show up. Reinforcing the idea that you are not alone, and that there is someone there with you, in the same situation as yourself, relating back to the ball with its lights.
Once they click on My group this page will display. The ring represents the 9 ball and the 9 coloured dots represents each member, each do will display a group member name next to their own colour, so that everyone will know who is who, and who they are helping with their 9 ball. This is incase the members lose their 9ball card.
On the left hand side there is also a column for support group staff to leave messages as well as to keep in contact with the group members whilst they are outside of the group. Thus once again uniting the support group as a whole whilst they are not at their meetings.
Hope you guys like it xD
