Beta Test: Salamancasite

 

Subjects

Three people participated in the beta test, no one had ever met any of my family members so they had no interest in them.   They have seen the website before and I hope that they will like the improvements that I have made. 

Think Aloud task

Please navigate through the site on comment on what you like and dislike.  Tell me what you think about the pictures page and how the navigation is to the external link. 

Summary of Think Aloud

All three participants were very pleased with the appearance of the website and found it to be aesthetically pleasing.  Some commented that it was very welcoming and that they were glad to see that I implemented putting in more content.  There were still a few comments on why I had not put in more email addresses for the family.

Summary of Posttest

One of the participants in the discussion felt that I should include more emails for my family members, but another participant felt that it would be too much information on the internet and again I wholeheartedly agreed. Another comment was for even more content.

Findings to be Implemented

As a result of the beta test, I will make a few changes to the site.  One change that I intend to make is to add more content to the website to give the readers more information.

Findings Not to be Implemented

Given the discussion, I do not think that I will add the family contacts because I feel that in the wrong hands it could be a nuisance to those persons.  I do feel that if someone were to find my website, they could easily take those email addresses and email my family spam.
