LO5: Task 5 Evaluating the next steps of development of website.

From looking at all of the user test plans that I have received that have been no problems with my website. After using my website on a number of computers I have realised that the loading differs o different computers. On the Apple Mac's the website preformed very well and there were no problems with the website however, when I tested this on a windows computer there some performance issues. he loading time of some of the computers varied some o them being really slow. This may be down to the performance of the computer itself and if that is the case then I should change some of the features of the website so it can run all computers. One of the positive of my website is there is parallax scrolling, this means that the user doesn't have to navigation through several web pages and have to wait for them to load. One of the negatives of my website is that the because I have enabled the parallax scrolling it may take some time to get on the website. One of the improvements that I can make to the website is that the pages could all be the same size, some pages have more content than others so to fit it all in one section I have had to make the page bigger. To solve this I could create another page so that I can make them al the same. One of the other improvements that I could make is that I could have the hiveit logo animated, that would fit in with the theme of my website as all of the backgrounds that I have are live. The third improvement that I could make for my website is on the second page. The background for my second page is a video of bees flying around pollenating plants, whenever there is a change of scenery to video becomes distorted for a few seconds before changing back into HD. I could replace the video with another live background but it would need to be of something that is related to the theme of the website.

LO4: Test Plan.

 

A)

There are two ways in which you can navigate through the website and that is by clicking on the links on the header or by using the parallax scrolling. When you click on each of the links it take you to the desired webpage and the transitions from page to page is the parallax scrolling. I tested to parallax scrolling by scrolling up an down to each of the different webpages to see wether the contents of the next page will load with all of the transitions.

B)
To test the internal and external web links I clicked on each one using three different web browsers. The links did what I was expecting by opening up a new window the for each link, one of the things that may be a problem is that when you click on the Facebook web link it directs you to the Facebook login page instead of an actual bee community Facebook page.


C)
To test the page loading times I timed the time it takes from the moment I clicked on the link to the time it takes for the webpage to load. The webpage does load successfully and it isn't affected by different devices.


D)
The website does work on more than one web browser however the performance differs on some of the web browsers, on google chrome the website can take a while for it to load but once it has loaded it runs fine. When on safari it takes a while for all of the contents of the webpage to load but once it has loaded it runs smoothly. However when on Firefox there are not problems with the performance.


E)
All of the content on my website is related to the bees, all of the background that I have are of flowers that are bee friendly and this links up with one of the purposes of my website which is to get people to help the bee population. The colour of the text differs with the webpage as the backgrounds are different on each page and they are videos. The theme of the website stays consistent throughout the webpages.
