We did not have class today because Thanksgiving break started Tuesday, November 21st. I have been following my calendar and I am finishing up Static Evaluation and Mark-Ups and beginning Content Patterns.
So far, I have gotten five people to do Static Evaluation and Mark-Ups. I chose three pages: The Home Page, The Ways to Support Us Page, and the Make A Gift Page.
Home Page
Ways to Support Us Page
Make A Gift Page
I printed out 8 copies because you are supposed to gather information from four users. After the participants mark-up the design, you are supposed to repeat the test. When you repeat the test, you are supposed to gather information from four additional users. This provides just enough data to recognize patterns in the way users interpret the design.
The first four users I tested was my mom (Colleen), my sister (Hope), Stevie (coworker), and Matt H. (Manager).
User 1: Colleen
Annotations on the Home Page:
- Informational clicks
- What is here? Does it repeat "About Us", If yes, that's 3x on this pg.
- This is also above (repetitive)
- Up top
- Calendar? Dogs? Photos?
- All of these up in top bar (repetitive)
Annotations on the Ways to Support Us Page:
- Like!
- Not sure if bar is needed if there are here
- On each page FB, Twitter, etc. need to be more prevalent somewhere else - too small on bar. Are they to click and "Like us" if yes it needs to be stated
Annotations on the Make A Gift Page:
- Again
- These need the ability to add a message and acknowledgement to those being honored
- Within the site? If yes not sure there's enough here to have to search
User 2: Hope
Annotations on the Home Page:
- The social media icons are accessible by clicking on the icon
- The three boxes for "Ways to Support Us", "Become a Volunteer", and "Request Our Services", are they a way of going straight to the info. for each? And if they are, I like how they stand out and appealing.
- The "Order Yours Today" is easy to access by clicking it to get more information on it and how to order.
- I like how the colors are standing out and how the pictures are appealing and convincing
- I like how it's organized
- I don't like how the dog above the "Donate Today" box is covering up the message.
Annotations on the Ways to Support Us Page:
- This logo really expresses the KPETS message
- The words in orange helps people go directly to the info. for each of them with a click on the word(s)
- I like how the green icons really represent the "Ways to Support Us", "Become a Volunteer", and "Request Our Services"
- This email takes you directly to an email page where you can provide your thoughts to send to KPETS.
- Helps you access certain information on this page more easily
- I think that this advertisement should be moved under the search bar so it is lined up because it is pushed to the side
Annotations on the Make A Gift Page:
- The * tells people you must fill that part out to continue
- Checkboxes so you can pick what you want to support
- This gives you more countries to pick from
- This could be bolded to stand out more
- I like how these continued to all the pages.
User 3: Stevie
Annotations on the Home Page:
- Covering lettering
- Picture to big to fit the frame
Annotations on the Ways to Support Us Page and Make A Gift Page:
- Nothing was stated here except for the repetitiveness of the dog in the corner above the "Donate Today" button covering the text.
*Might get an additional user because very little feedback was provided.
User 4: Matt H.
Annotations on the Home Page:
- Give more info of history and what has been done over the years
- Change picture to see more of dog
- Change background to more off-white
Annotations on the Ways to Support Us Page:
- Change font
Annotations on the Make A Gift Page:
- No annotations were made on this page. Due to this, I am hoping the additional users will provide information for this page.
Additional Users:
After gathering information from the first four users, I am supposed to repeat the test on four additional users. This provides just enough data to recognize patterns in the way users interpret the design.
My additional users are Jobi (friend), Cayla (my sister), and Robert (my dad).
Additional User 1: Jobi
Annotations on the Home Page:
- Organization has grown since starting in 2007

- Learned what KPETS is and does
Annotations on the Ways to Support Us Page:
- Many ways of donators
- Easy able to Volunteer
- Easily able to Make Request
- Good color scheme
Annotations on the Make A Gift Page:
*There are no annotations made on this page, due to this, I am remaining hopeful the other two additional users will provide information on this page. If not, I will add another additional user to the test.
