This week, we started to think about our end of the year project, which ultimately is the project where we can incorporate everything we learned into this last project. The first step in doing this is to have 10 questions prepared to ask the person whom we are working with about their goals for the website. Since that is this weekends homework, I have been thinking about ideas but have not typed them up yet. My concentration is buisness, and while I don’t have an extensive knowledge on buisness, I know I am going to try to advertise (one of the major aspects of buisness) Mrs. Hart’s club and one I am involved with, The Natural Helpers, by hopefully advertising events that we do. One of my goals for this website is to not only to advertise the club, but make it a spot where current members can access any information about upcoming events, etc.
In order to successfully accomplish this project, there is still much more about the online world to be learned. One thing I learned about this week was usability. Usability is how extensive a user’s experience is when working with a product, like a website. Usability is important because while many websites offer information or products, the actual website is either complicated or doesn’t appeal to users. When we’re looking ahead to our final projects, we want to use usability to make sure others are attracted to the website so it can be used past this class.
