While using PrintBucket, I reached ccavenue for payment. CCavenue has messed up a simple interface and ruined the user experience. They already have the user’s shipping address from a previous screen and if a user does not check the box “My billing and shipping address are different” then they should copy the shipping address to […]

The search is a little tough to use and understand. As a user I want to search for an ortho specialist in Velachery, Chennai. problem: By default the search box shows Bangalore. I click on that box and type the city ‘Chennai’ and there is no auto-suggest. So I click on the next search box […]
