Working Title: Beautiful places in San Diego

Author: John Esposito

Date: April 22, 2010

Subjects

I interviewed three more students that go to SDSU. None of them had prior history in web design.

Think Aloud Task

Now that I have all my colors, and clutter figured out, I asked all three of my tested audience if my site had any flaws. Does anything not work? Trouble finding certain places? Home button clear?

Summary of Think Aloud

All three of the tested audience liked my web page. They all said that it would be a very good site to be placed as a homepage because of the innovative search bar. The only problem is the search bar doesn’t work. They all like the pictures because it brought life to each place in San Diego. They all felt the colors were calming, representing the inner beauty of San Diego rather than the fast paced, expensive life we all live.

Summary of Post-test Interview

Before I tested my audience, I wanted my site to be an innovative way to search and get a feel for what San Diego has to offer rather than what everyone already knows. I made all of my fonts bright and bold so eye catching links grasp the attention of the user. All three of my tested subjects claimed that I accomplished this task. They claimed that my site is a well designed web page and will be useful to the general public.

Findings to be implemented

As a result of the Beta test, I will make the following changes:

1)  Make the Search bar work so people can make my page their HOME PAGE.

2)  Fix columns so that pictures line up with the page. Scattered pictures create clutter.

3)  Fix titles on separate pages.

4) Make Home and Contact on the same side as the favorites.

Findings that will not be implemented

None
