Terra Hydria @terrahydriablog - Tumblr Blog

The user was able to navigate through the site quite well, he did have some difficulty with a few things on the site so far but those were resolved when looking at the mock-ups. Any issues are mentioned in the video.

I asked:

1) Can you tell what the different parts of the store are? 2) How would you go about purchasing an item? 3) Where can you find information about the site? 4) Where can you see images of other terrariums/ get terrarium ideas? 5) What would you expect to see on a website like this? used the site in it’s latest build instead of images like my partners: http://myweb.students.wwu.edu/gregoib/dsgn356/terrahydria/home.shtml 1. Test Subject: Leslie

21 year old college student. She was able to navigate through the site and understand what things meant. She knew what was clickable or what should have been clickable. It was intuitive enough to understand when the labels or descriptions were lacking. She mentioned that some of the information was in different places than she would expect and wished terrariums or the site explained itself better. She also mentioned that the sub-navigation was confusing on the homepage.

The user was able to navigate fairly easily through the site and through the five questions proposed. She was able to see clearly what the different parts of the site were supposed to be about, as well as where to go to do certain things. Since the entire site was static, there was some confusion about where to go or what to click on (she wasn’t sure what was clickable and what wasn’t). The user also gave some helpful suggestions as to what she would have expected to see in the “about” page. The user also had a little confusion during the check out stage of the process, since there was some missing information required at the last stage of purchasing an item. The check out area (the most important part) was overlooked a little as well.
