In today’s lesson we have looked at the usability of websites. The website we used was http://beta.bbc.co.uk/ on this website we analysed different areas and then emailed the BBCtell them our feedback. The feedback I gave is shown below:
We assessed:
· Find out the latest headlines
· Find out the weather for your local area
· See the TV Lineup
· Radio live stream
For | Against |
· The main home page of the beta version is very clear and easy to use – the top news stories are clearly shown at the top of the page. · The weather is clearly located at the top – however this should be shown with more detail and features as users may want to know a specific time for that day. Therefore by including an extras features for the weather. | · However on the links to iPlayer it can be seen as misleading as people may not be aware that you can click the whole video to view. But with the I that is shown the users may think you need to click the icon to view the video. · The exchange rates are quite hard to locate and as they are a key factor off the UK’s economy they should be easily accessible. |
This was sent in an email for the BBC.
After this I was paired with Rosie: here I assessed her multimedia design from 5 different tasks. This helped me to see how other people are working. Rosie then tested my guide from these guidelines:
· Locate the buttons
· The design of the product & layout
· The navigation layout
· Pictures (relevant?)
· Animation
This was helpful as I got an external view of product and how to improve it.
- Add an extra feature such as an animated ball bouncing at the side of the page.
- Extra navigation at the bottom of the page if you need to scrool down to save scrolling back up.
