Website Feedback & UX Testing

-

This week we did feedback and UX Testing on our Wix website. We created a google form asking some questions and then embedded it into the navigation bar. We then published our website and shared the website link in order to test each others sites and get feedback.

My live site address is now https://aaeeshabraimoh.wixsite.com/aaeesha-braimoh. 

Please click there to view it

These are the questions and the responses I received, I will go through them and make comments. I will also update the website and republish it

I got 5 responses in total



I asked about the design and colour of my homepage first. Although a majority thought it was very good, some still just put 'good' which means there may still be room for some minor changes





The next thing I asked about was my navigation. I clearly have some things to fix seeing as some people chose that it was 'okay'. I checked my navigation and all the buttons work so I think it is the design I have to change as it is hard to see the subpages on the menu bar. I changed that by clicking on the menu ad going to 'design' and changing the 'fill colour' to white so now the subpage in the menu bar is readable




In this question I asked about my social links. Most people just said it was 'good' so I will have to check that as well



For my about page majority thought there was no need for change but some thought I could change the colour and layout so I will do that as well



For my contact page I received positive feedback saying all the necessary information is included and it looked good so I don't think I will need to change that. 




For my portfolio and gallery page majority said it was very good but some just said it was good so I may have to change something minor probably in the colour or design because I got good feedback for the functionality and consistency.



For my major project, I got good feedback on it but I do need to clean up some things and make the design neater and upload it again



I got final feedback on the website as a whole. Majority said it was very good but I do need to make some changes to it


I included a text box for more detailed comments on what I need to change and now I know the specifics of what needs to be done. 
The first comment says I need to change the text button on the portfolio page and the colour for the submenu texts. Because of this comment I noticed that when clicking on the button leading to my major project (SolarHaven Home) some of the text disappears and now I have fixed that. I also fixed the problem with the subpage texts earlier on in the previous feedback and now they can be clearly seen


The second comment talks about spelling errors which I noticed in my design boards and will correct them as well when I am editing my design boards 
The third comment says to change the colour of certain texts. I already changed the colour of the text and background in the subpage bar and I think that was the only thing that was not readable
The fourth comment says to change the colour of the bottom navigation but I like the colour and it is readable so I don't think I will edit that
The fifth comment talks about the link to my Instagram. The Instagram is a private account therefore the viewer cannot see it if they click on it. I want to keep the Instagram account private so I decided to remove it as part of my social links only keeping the link to my Blogger account. After deleting the Instagram link, I adjusted my Blogger icon to the middle as well.





All additional comments were quite positive so there is nothing else I have to change in my project design and website layout

The last question was about the mobile view. They all said it looks okay and the navigation worked properly but I have to reduce the writing on my about page as it is too long. I shortened my writing on my about and checked the mobile view and now it looks so much better and is not as lengthy as it was



 

After editing some parts of my website, I saved it and uploaded it again and now it is suitable for viewing

Beginning Research: Mick Pearce

I am choosing Mick Pearce as he is an architect who has done a lot of work in restoring and transforming buildings (mainly in Central Africa) while also minimizing damage to the environment. In recent years he has done more sustainable architecture involving biomimicry and most recently, passive cooling systems. 'An original and innovative architect, Mick Pearce is particularly renowned for his work on the bio-ecological aspects of the built environment.' (Prince Claus Fund, n.d.). The building that I will be looking at is the Eastgate Centre located in Harare, Zimbabwe because the building takes inspiration from nature which I can also relate back to my project work The Eastgate Centre by Mick Pearce (1996) The Eastgate Centre, which has a total combined floor area of 55,000 metres aquare is a shopping centre and office space located in the centre of Harare. Mick Pearce drew inspiration for the building from nature, specifically termite mounds. Termites build mounds which m...

Initial Ideas (Crazy Eights)

-
Image
After looking at the project brief of the three themes (Primitivism, pop art, industrial) we were tasked with generating ideas based on our chosen theme. I chose primitivism as my theme as I think it gives me a more creative route and the theme is a bit broader than the rest. I started with creating a mind map I wrote down all the things I associated with the theme such as nature, history, land and so on. This helped me not to think too much on the specifics and to see how many different sections of primitivism I could choose from when creating the final project. After that we did a task called 'Crazy Eights' which required us to draw our ideas and develop them within a set time frame as it was supposed to be just a quick sketch of what we were thinking about regarding the project at the time. We folded our paper to get eight different sections for our sketches       I initially thought of African huts so I drew that first then i started to develop on that idea. I thought...

Website Creation: Gallery Portfolio

In this post I will be creating my portfolio and website gallery on my Wix website. I will also be adding my finalised Architecture Project unto the gallery The first thing I changed was the background colour of my portfolio page. I right clicked on the mouse and clicked on 'change background' and selected the colour I wanted. I did this to show consistency with all my other pages and to also make the colour more inviting for viewers.     I then added an image to the page by clicking on the 'Add' button on my left hand menu and then clicked on 'image' and on 'upload image'. I then chose an image of my project from my files. I proceeded to add the image unto my page also using the transform tools to reposition the image to the center. My next step was to create a new page. I went to the pages menu on the left hand margin and clicked on 'New Page' and clicked on it to change the name to my Project name, 'SolarHaven Home'. I then clicked on ...
