Research

Before building this website, we had to plan on how we would present the information. We researched different websites and how they presented their work to get inspiration for our own website. In order to build our website we also used surveys and group interviews on what appealed most to a viewer when looking at a website.



Survey and Interview Q's included:



What appeals most to you in a website?

Common Answers: colour, images, videos



What is the best way for information to be presented?

Common Answers: Images, Diagrams, Information should be summarised so it is easier to memorise, find another way to present the information for e.g instead of putting blocks of information put it into a powerpoint, it just gives it more originality



Would you find it beneficial if there are review questions after the website, to test your knowledge and would you answer them?

Common Answers: Yes definitely, not really, Yes but I wouldn't really sit down and answer them I probably would just answer the questions in my head and compare them to the answers provided.


We found that the group interview combined with the survey provided the most results. The interview was very useful as it had that interaction between the group where the survey provided the anonymity of answers therefore most likely to be honest.
