Hi,
I'm curious about the idea of incorporating charts to present basic information for each adoptable animal's profile. We would still include a personal bio for each animal to share their story/personality with potential adopters. However, I wonder if there's any evidence regarding the impact of charts on potential adopters-whether they are beneficial or create stop signs. I personally find that charts organize information clearly and help adopters quickly find answers to their most common questions. Still, I want to ensure that the chart doesn't become a barrier or create its own form of stop sign language no matter how well we word "no _____".
Am I overthinking this addition to the animal's profiles or can charts play a key role in helping potential adopters figure out which animals suite their lifestyle?
*I have included an example layout, please note that "no" language would be fixed to reduce stop sign language
