    1. IntroductionI will carry out an evaluation on two websites using theprocedures mentioned below and supporting documentsare located in the appendix.

    1.Designing an evaluation protocolTo evaluate the websites I will use Heuristic evaluation,which is a usability inspection method that was developed

    by Jacob Nielsen according to Sharp, Rogers and Preece(2007). To investigate further, I will also use Usabilitytesting which involves measuring users performance andsatisfaction on typical tasks in laboratory conditionsaccording to Sharp, Rogers and Preece (2007).

    a. Reasons for Choosing Heuristics Evaluation

    According to Sharp, Rogers and Preece (2011), heuristicevaluation is less time consuming and cheaper compared

    to other evaluation methods. This is because there are noparticipants involved, which also means that there are zerochances of violating ethical issues.

    I used Nielsens (1994) heuristics for guidelines to evaluatethe website and the steps taken were:

    Inspecting web interface and its function more than fourtimes due to my limited knowledge as a usability

    consultant. I focused on different sections of the websiteindicated in figure.1 and complemented them withheuristics guidelines

    Index page. Metaphors icons and symbols

    Menu and navigation. Interaction design and types.

    Structural layout. Hyperlinks and

    Content layout Accessibility for disabled

    Search tools or technology. Colour and text appearance.Figure.1: Sections focused on when evaluating the

    website.

    All inconsistencies and usability problems discoveredwere recorded on a table against each heuristic as

    shown in figure.2. Severity rating was used to check the problems

    frequency, persistence and impact on the website usedby Nielsen (1994).

    Screen shorts were also recorded to indicate usabilityproblems.

    Recommendations were given after each usabilityproblem extracted.

    There was no time factor set to evaluate the two

    websites, however professional consultants, do workunder a time schedule.

    2.Results and Recommendation

    Loughborough University

    Figure.3 indicates cluttered information with long andunclearly spaced sentences about news of the students

    who have recently been graduated.

    U1055939 2512 words

    [Recommendation:1]Even spacing and ordering by using numbers or bulletspoints will make it easier to perceive and identifyinformation searched for and according to Sharp, Rogers

    and Preece (2007), which would give the website a goodstructure.

    Figure.3 Cluttered information of graduates.

    Unrecognisable main navigation links that are located ontop of the banner with an inadequate colour contrastbetween the darker shade of purple font and the lightpurple background. This is similar within all the pages ofthe website but more significant on the home page asindicated on Figure.4.

    [Recommendation:2]Situate the banner and navigation sections separately,

    possibly with standard, suitable dark coloured font and lightcoloured background to make the website accessible tocolour blind people. Aligning the main navigation horizontalwill utilise all that right space and reduce page height,which would reduce vertical scrolling of the page.

    Referring again to figure.4, to search for items in thewebsite does not immediately offer a textbox but it is a linkthat takes the user to a non-functioning Google search

    engine. The search tools are only located in the home pageas a link and not implemented in the rest of the website.

    8/33

    U1055939 2512 words

    [Recommendation:3]A named search text box would be recognisable by theuser rather than spending more time attempting to locate

    it. Text boxes are a popular technique to recognise than torecall. Textboxes are common interface objects used bypopular search engines such as Google, yahoo and evendesktop applications use them too. Therefore most userswould be expecting them when it involves to searching forsomething.

    Providing a text box in this situation would reduce memoryload of the user attempting follow a procedure to get to the

    search engine and then attempting again to search for therequired results.

    Figure.4: Emphasis on colour contrast and navigationalstructure.

    The term Information for in Figure.5 has been usedinappropriately in this situation. Both current student

    and staff are links on the same section with the newswhich is not a link. On that section the term used wouldsound as (information for:current student|currentstaff|news).

    [Recommendation:4]Standard link colours should be used to mark a differencebetween hyperlinks and non-hyperlinks.

    Still focusing onFigure.5,

    according to Nielsen (1998), outdated information has to be avoided because it creates

    8

    9/33

    U1055939 2512 words

    poor impression with the users. They are quite a few ofcluttered chunks of information that still date back to theyear 2003.The news is made of a section that is located onthe right side and occupies approximately 40% width and

    80% height of the page. The middle section is left withunedited white space when scrolling the page vertically.

    [Recommendation:5]Use of different medias with the users full functionalcontrols such as play and pause buttons. A possibleexample would be slide show images for the news toreplace text in order for the user to perceive and locatenews information of their choice. Simply to keep up and

    update the page with latest information that would beinteresting and attractive to gain the users attention.

    Figure.5: Emphasis on the News not being a link.

    Dead links such as the TOP to scroll up and ClickHere hyperlink that causes the browser to give an errormessage because it is unable to connect. There are noback buttons or any source of recovery on the websitewhen dead pages are accessed. Shown in figure5&6.

    [Recommendation:6]Check the website against link checker tool such as theW3C Linker otherwise dead links cause distrust of

    information quality.

    U1055939 2512 words

    Figure.6: Indicates dead and deceptive link.

    Figure.6 indicates a deceptive hyperlink were it statesWebmaster: Christine Bagley. It is not specificwhether this is a link that would take the user to ChristineBagley personal web page or her contact details. What itdoes it takes the user to the systems email client with out

    informing them.

    [Recommendation:7]Use icon metaphors such as a telephone or mail envelopesand symbol of an email to notify the user of the intention ofthe hyperlink and its meaning.

    All of the website pages do not have a site map which mayassist the user when ever they have navigation difficulties.

    [Recommendation:8]Provide a sitemap which gives a brief description of thelinks in the whole website and allows users to master theirway around the website according to Sharp, Rogers andPreece (2007).

    Figure.7 indicates a client that requires user to login as acurrent student. It does not distinguish between an error

    and information message and the blue question marksymbol remains the same when incorrect information isentered. A question mark symbol is often used for helpsituations but in this here it does not do anything. If theuser clicks cancel, they cannot escape from the popupbecause it takes them to a page that confirmsauthentication has been unsuccessful.

    [Recommendation:9]

    Good use of the graphical symbols such as an errormessage of a red X and an informative exclamation mark

    10

    will make users recognise and understand the meaning ofthe of what is required of them. Password recovery or helpbutton would be useful to prevent users being logged outfor failing to provide correct details within a certain number

    of times. Plain message would be helpful to describe thenature of the problem and suggestions of how to solve itaccording to Sharp, Rogers and Preece (2007).

    Figure.7: Error Reporting, Diagnosis, and Recovery

    [Recommendation:10]

    It is difficult to try and remember pages that have beenpreviously visited which could be frustrating for the user. Iwould recommend back and forward buttons that wouldallow the user to retrace their steps back and forthamongst visited pages until they recognize the contentthey want.

    Figure7.a: indicates incomplete wording and inconsistencywhich may cause users suspicion of the website beingprofessional.

    3.Usability Testing on University of

    Birmingham.

    The procedure to carry out the evaluation was adaptedfrom my second presentation and the following steps were

    11

  • 7/30/2019 u1055939 Individual Report

    12/33

    U1055939 2512 words

    taken:

    Data collection techniques were observations and an endtest questioner to extract usability and accessibility

    problems from the participants. Simulated laboratory condition to carry out the

    experiment.

    Two non-UEL and diversified participants volunteered tocarry out tasks against time.

    Two computers and timers were used. Video recorderwas set to focus on the users activities.

    Data gathered was analysed and interpreted to find outmajor usability problems. Read appendix for the tests.

    4.Reasons for choosing usability testingWhen using Heuristics evaluation on University ofBirmingham. I extracted insignificant number (3) ofusability problems due to evaluating by myself andaccording to Sharp, Rogers and Preece (2011); state thatapproximately an increase of 5 evaluators increases theproportion of usability problems discovered by 25%.

    Usability testing became an alternative that would involveusers and obtain evidence of usability issues throughcompleting timed tasks.

    5.Usability problems.

    Inadequate colour contrast between a darker shade grey ofthe font and slightly lighter shade of grey on the

    background. Participant: 1 mentioned difficulties ofidentifying any content on the following left-navigation andfooter section indicated on Figure.8&9.

    [Recommendation:2] : applies here.Allowing users to manipulate color scheme will improvereadability.

    Video recordings indicated that participants did not click

    the doted lined search area, shown on figure.8.[Recommendation:3] : applies here.

    13/33

    U1055939 2512 words

    Insufficient media control settings to stop and play, eventhough participants could forward and rewind the slideshow images.

    [Recommendation:11]I would recommend a stop and play button should beincluded to provide more interactivity and control. Controlof slide shows speed would allow information to be easilyperceptible. That is alsosuitable for photosensitive epilepsyusers.

    Complex cascading menu, which is inaccessible when using

    tab key and storyline horizontal navigation used less than30% compared to the vertical navigation on the left sectionof the pages as indicated in Figure.8.Different media previewed on a cascading menu andimmediately abandoned by participants. No clicks tolinks were video recorded.

    [Recommendation:12]Well-coded and Accessible single text based drop down

    menu that would accept tab key navigating and a findingby Shneiderman (1998) state that a simple looking menu isusable compared to more complex menu structures.

    Task 2 indicated difficulty by participants to locateservices because there it is labelled differently indifferent parts of the websites. Figures.9&10 as OurService and Professional Services on the menu andServices and Facilities on the footer. This indicates

    variation of a similar term for a novice or dyslexic users.

    [Recommendation:13]Use the wording Services once and have different typesservices as subsections to allow easy recognition by theuser.

    Participants attempted task 4.a by clicking on the slideshow, to get current news, which is inconsistent right

    through the site. This is because the slide show images arenot links in other pages.

    U1055939 2512 words

    [Recommendation:14]Standardise slide show images as either links or non-linksright through the website to avoid confusing and frustrating

    the user.

    6.ConclusionDifferent evaluation methods work differently in differentscenarios. This is noticed through to the failure of finding asmall number of usability issues on the BirminghamUniversity through using heuristics evaluation, which led toan alternative evaluation method. Complimentingevaluation methods would be a good practice to evaluatethe website all round by involving users and expertconsultants.

    1. Introduction

    After carrying out usability evaluation on LoughboroughUniversity, I have designed a usable and accessible websitethat is cross platform and browser compatible on a mobileand tablet device. The prototype will signify a correctapplication of usability and accessibility principles,guidelines and standards which the original website did nothave initially.

    2. Requirements gatheringVolere Requirements Specification Template adapted fromRobertson and Robertson (1999) version6.1 was used. Aquestioner was handed out to extract general informationabout the users experience with mobile websites.

    Usability testing and end test questioner were used toevaluate the website. There where 0% usability andaccessibility issues identified by the participants from thetasks completed. The website code validated with 0%errors on the W3C tool (2012) against CSS3 and HTML5.

    The site was also checked against W3C mobile Checker(2012) tool. Results were inconclusive because the tooldoes not validate HTML versions other than XHTML.
