Product Requirements Document: User Feedback Form Plugin

1. Introduction/Overview

This document outlines the requirements for a new WordPress plugin designed to collect user feedback on the website. The plugin aims to provide a simple and effective way for website visitors to submit their thoughts, suggestions, and opinions. This will help improve the website's content, usability, and overall user experience. The goal is to create a user-friendly form plugin that seamlessly integrates into the existing WordPress site.

2. Goals

  • Provide a simple and intuitive feedback form for website visitors.
  • Enable easy collection of user feedback.
  • Facilitate prompt email notifications upon form submission.
  • Improve overall website user experience through feedback analysis.

3. User Stories

  • As a website visitor, I want to easily access the feedback form so that I can quickly share my thoughts.
  • As a website visitor, I want to submit the form easily so that I can quickly provide my information.
  • As a website visitor, I want to receive confirmation that my feedback has been successfully submitted.
  • As the website administrator, I want to receive email notifications when a new feedback form is submitted so that I can promptly review user feedback.

4. Functional Requirements

  1. The plugin must provide a user-friendly form interface for website visitors.
  2. The form must include fields for:
    • Name (Optional)
    • Email (Optional)
    • Feedback/Message (Required)
  3. The plugin must allow administrators to customize the form's appearance (e.g., colors, fonts) via the WordPress admin panel.
  4. The plugin must send an email notification to the website administrator upon each form submission. The email must include all the information submitted in the form.
  5. The plugin must display a confirmation message to the user upon successful form submission.
  6. The plugin must store form submissions in the WordPress database (optional, but preferred for future data analysis).
  7. The plugin must be compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
  8. The form must be easily embeddable on any page or post using a shortcode.

5. Non-Goals (Out of Scope)

  • Spam protection features (e.g., reCAPTCHA).
  • Advanced form validation beyond basic required field checks.
  • Integration with third-party services (e.g., CRM systems).
  • User account creation or management.
  • Detailed analytics or reporting on form submissions beyond basic counts.

6. Design Considerations

  • The form should be responsive and adapt to different screen sizes.
  • The form should adhere to the existing website's design and branding.
  • Consider reusing existing UI components from the soap-media repository where applicable to maintain consistency. See Technical Considerations below.

7. Technical Considerations

  • The plugin should leverage existing WordPress APIs for database interaction and email sending.
  • Consider reusing user authentication modules within the existing codebase for managing user access (if needed in the future, but currently out of scope).
  • The plugin will likely affect the user interface, particularly WordPress templates. Ensure compatibility with existing themes.
  • Based on the repository URL (https://bitbucket.org/soapygit/soap-media/src/master/), the following files might be relevant for UI element reuse or conflict resolution:
Files in the repository:

{'type': 'list', 'content': []}

I am unable to retrieve the file list from the given repository. Therefore, I cannot identify specific files for UI element reuse or conflict resolution. However, generally, look for files related to themes, templates, styles (CSS), and JavaScript components that are used for rendering the website's front-end.

8. Success Metrics

  • Time spent on the form.
  • Number of form submissions per week/month.
  • Qualitative analysis of the feedback received.
  • Positive change in website metrics (e.g., decreased bounce rate, increased time on page) after addressing feedback.

9. Open Questions

  • Should form submissions be stored in the WordPress database, or only sent via email?
  • What specific CSS classes or styles should be used to ensure visual consistency with the existing website design?
  • What specific email address should be used for receiving form submissions?
