~WEEK 14: NO CLASS~
DR Jamal have something urgent, so no class for today..
~WEEK 13: WEB TESTING & EVALUATION~
WEB TESTING is an essential element of quality assurance. A true test of how people actually use a website (technical part). It’s extremely cheap when you do it yourself
When to test?
- at the web site’s conception (start by testing a printed mock up of the home page)
- before planning a redevelopment
- repeatedly during (re)development, as critical pages or sections are prepared
- when traffic analysis shows an anomaly (inconsistency)
- when the owner requires hard information about a page or site.
What and Why we test? - Know what you hope to discover each time you test.
With all tests you want to discover whether the user:
- gets the point of the page(s)
- understands the navigation system
- can guess where to find things.
In a general test you want to know:
- how do users interact with the web site you are testing?
- what is difficult for people to do?
- where do they get lost?
- what makes sense to them?
- what makes them feel distrustful or insecure?
- what do they like and what do they hate?
In a specific test you might want to know, for example:
- can the user accomplish a key task?
- can the user find something specific?
WEB EVALUATION is to ensure the functionality and performance of a website for user acceptance. The evaluation is depends on the goals of the website and the stage of a project; ideas and concepts, designs, prototypes, implementations and products in use. By doing this, we can identify the problem and improve the development of the website.
There are two level of web evaluation; formative evaluation focus on improvement and it is an ongoing process and summative evaluation focus on the outcome at the end of project phase. Tools used for website evaluation are observation, interviews, survey, report, dialogs with users…
after this class we need to create our own questionnaire for individual assignment.. after that, we will combine that assignment to make it as group evaluation.. so, don't forget to make it..•.¸¸.•´¯`•.♥.•´¯`•.¸¸.•. __

We are the first group present our prototype.. DR J was comment, we just make it only 10%.. so sad.. I think that is already 40%.. it’s ok, need more effort to make our web success.. GO GO LADY BOSS..!!
~WEEK 11: VISUAL DESIGN~
What exactly constitutes good visual design? Not as easy as nuts (betul ke?) to make a good visual design.. Visual design is planning how web site will look.. we need to brainstorm together in group to think about this to make sure our web very attractive.. what we need to think..??
- What colours will look good together on your site?
- What fonts or styles you will use for the written part of your web pages?
- What graphics and multimedia effects are needed?
- How will all of these elements be combined or arrange into an attractive layout?
What do you think..?? Is it good colors choice, balance layout & use of images?
The general issue in visual design:
- Choose a visual theme –connected to your content.
- Use template concepts– consistent.
- Use table or division (div) or frame for layout/arranging your visual elements.
- Typography - keep it simple
~Good flow~
Thumbnails Sketches -> Rough Sketches -> Prototype
Next week is prototype presentation.. so, are you ready for presentation..?? GOOD LUCK TO MY ENTIRE FRIEND..!!

~WEEK 9: INTERACTION DESIGN~
*********************************************************
After finish the presentation about information design, we continue to next step of web design.. that is interaction design..
In part 1 (Information Design), it focused on planning the design and think what is this product?
For part 2 (Interaction Design), it focuses on the mechanics of the design and we need to think how should it work?
What is Interaction Design? Interaction design means turning information into an experience.
This means:
- Motivating users to have the experience, by giving them clear guidance and options.
- Creating an interesting journey, or clear path, through the information.
- Giving users controls that allow them to go where they want and do what they want.
- Making the experience as easy and intuitive as possible.
What are the basic elements in Interaction Design? Three essential elements:
- Organization – How the information will be organized on the pages ?
- Navigation – How people will find their way around your web site ?
- Interactivity – What controls you give your users to work with ?
