Empty State #8 – ADPList

Empty state copy on ADPList website’s mobile version for mentees profiles (mentor wishlist section)

You currently have no mentors saved to your wishlist. Add a mentor; you might see them here!

Okay, so ADPList has added a nice graphic here which kind of conveys one aspect of mentorship and so is sort of relevant. However, none of the similar screens on the website or this section has a graphic and call-to-action button. Brand consistency is amiss!

As for the copy, I don’t find it discouraging (like it was in the “no mentees” empty state) since the onus of adding mentors is on the user and the user can choose not to have any mentors.

P.S. Every day, I dedicate 30 minutes to reviewing UX copy for free. Email me yours if you’re seeking a second set of eyes.

About ADPList: It is a platform to network with fellow professionals from your field as a mentor or mentee. You can also host your workshops, portfolio reviews, etc. and build your brand as a thought leader and guru. (from their website)
