User Testing

The user testing did not come about until the website was finished, this was a result of a restricted time frame as I spent too much time experimenting with various designs. Here I wanted to experiment with the functionality of the website and how well it works. I also wanted to test the design to see if it appeals to the audience or not.

 

Test:

• What do you think of the design?
• Do you like the colour scheme?
• Navigate through the various pages, are the labels correct?
• Navigate through the image slider, does it work accordingly?
• Enter some details in the contact form, does it let you insert information?
• Select various images and videos on the portfolio page, do they load?

Results:

 

3 participants took part in the user testing here they all completed each question/task the results are as follows:

 

The students liked the over design, they mentioned how the page was not clattered with information and how features were clearly displayed.The colour scheme was another popular attribute, the students like the grey,black and white combination. They mentioned how the minor sections in pink were not offputing, the use of a different colour made it easy to detect elements. The overall labelling of menus and sections was also clear, the students found it easy to navigate through the various pages. The contact form allowed the students to enter their information although the functionality does not fully work as the PHP section hadn't been incoporated accordingly. The different icons and links in the portfolio page load and overlay pop up although do to some of the size restrictions the loading of elements was delayed, this also had to do with the internet connection.
