  • Navigation; and
  • Searching the site for specific items;

Your review should consider these specific elements and comment on their use and appropriateness on the news site as part of the overall design of that website.

As part of your review, you must also seek the opinions of three (3) users of that site. These users may be family, friends or colleagues, but MUST NOT include other students enrolled in this subject. You need to prepare a simple questionnaire for these users to complete so that you can determine how effectively they can use the site. The questionnaire is to be based on the following scenario:

You need to be able to:

  1. Find out what rides are available in ‘Wetnwild’;
  2. What facilities are available at ‘Wetnwild’ (ex: food, parking, event venues, etc.).

You should ensure that all participants have to check for the same information.

Your questionnaire should be included in your report as an appendix.

You should discuss the findings of your user survey as well as any recommendations for changes to the interface as a result of your review. You should also discuss how any suggested changes will improve the usability of the news site interface.
