PRP Overall Evaluation - Trends

The following clonclusions summarise the results of the artefact questonaires, in which people were questioned as to what genre of website they thought each artefact was designed for and the specific design elements that influenced their decision.

  • #1 Gaming Community - Overall look and feel
  • #2 Portfolio - Page layout and Content design/position
  • #3 Auction - Page layout and Content design/position
  • #4 News - Anomaly
  • #3 Social Network - Content position/Colour scheme
  • #1 Car showroom - Overall look and feel

I have gained the following knowledge about webpage design in each genre based on the above conclusions. (the # symbol marks a key to be linked with the conclusions above)

#1 - Devoted sites to a particular product or field.

#3 - Universal design for sites of this nature.
- Designed for functionality and usability.
- Sites of this genre are similar to optimise usability.

#2 - Shares the same results as #3.
- However sites of this genre are more flexible in
design and generally more aesthetically pleasing.

#4 - Anomaly result, due to changing approaches to
designing sites of this genre.
