With my website published, I decided to get some more feecback on how the website looks and feels. I asked some more people in my family about what they thought, which yielded me some usual information:
First Test (amatuer programmer):
Liked the colours and how they blended together.
The website worked well.
Found a mistake in the footer of the website, which was still labelled 'About Project' and still had a student blog link.
Suggested a drop-down menu, which has been suggested before.
Suggested adding a contents list at the top of the Game Design Document pages, like a Wikipedia article.
Second Test (average online user):
Liked the dull, easy-on-the-eyes colours the website now has.
Consider looking into stopping the buttons from scrolling the page (something that may justbe built into Wix).
Also suggested a drop-down menu (stated this during the first test they did).
Consider adding an age to the Target Audience section of the Game Design Document.
Found a typo in one of the page titles.
Agreed that a contents list should be added to the tops of some of the pages if possible.
Third Test (Software Manager):
Didn't find any dead links on the website.
Liked the colours and thought they suited the theme of the website.
Liked the scrolling the buttons did, as it works well with showing how long some pages are.
Wasn't convinced on the idea of having a drop-down menu, as it would bring in too many variables to the web design (having the drop-down invisible when on the Game Design Document Navigation page, which is something I don't think is possible with Wix).
Also wasn't convinced with the idea of the contents list, as they thought it would make the pages too convoluted and messy.
This advice gives me a new direction to go in. As well as correcting the mistakes that people found, I'll look into adding in a contents list to the top of the longer pages, and also look into stopping the scrolling that happens when clicking buttons at the bottom of the pages.
