|
Test 1 - Homepage: Homepage ran and loaded smoothly, the music player worked successfully and navigation elements highlighted when hovered over as intended. The HTML Facebook link was inaccessible for some reason, so this will have to be revised
Test 2 -Tour Dates: The tour dates page worked exactly as intended, displaying tour dates in a table and buttons for buying tickets and RSVP which link to "BandsinTown", opening in another tab.
Test 3 - Media: The videos section of the website is clear and works as intended. The page is straightforward and contains an embedded youtube video which can be viewed directly on the site.
Test 4 - About: The about section opens and works as intended with pictures and text appearing as intended
Test 5 - Shop: The shop page works successfully, displaying products right there on the page, and expanding to a purchase page which allows you to select quantity and add to a basket. This basket successfully leads to a checkout page, which includes a purchase button. The payment page doesn't seem to be working, so I will have to revise this
test 6 - Contact us: The contact us page works as intended and is a very simple and easy to use layout
Test 7 - Social media links: The main social media links work as intended and open a new tab with social media pages
Test 8 - Log in + Profile: The login page works as intended, allowing for users to create an account with username and password, and login to the store. The profile page allows users to create a bio and change their profile picture, which adds customisability and personalisation for users, thus creating more investment. It also tracks purchases made through the website within the "Orders" tab. This means that users feel more secure making purchases and it will provide them proof of their purchase.

Feedback
Here is the log of the focus group that I conducted with other students, having allowed them to explore my site:
Q: So what did you guys think about my website?
Rebecca: I liked the simple black and purple colour scheme of the website. The dark background compliments the purple and is easy to look at.
Damian: Yeah, I found the website very visually appealing as well, and the logo blends in very well with the colour scheme.
Q: How did you find using the website? Was it intuitive?
Fryderyk: The navigation elements were clear and followed you as you scrolled down the page so you could always find where you needed to go.
Rebecca: It was very simple to find what you wanted
Q: Did all the features work as intended for you?
Damian: Yeah mostly all the features worked very well, the music player especially worked very well, the embedded videos played as intended.
Fryderyk: We ran into issues with the shop page, which would not allow us to pay for the product.
Damian: Yeah there was an icon at the bottom of the site as well that was unavailable, not sure what that was about.
Q: Any other criticism's?
Rebecca: There could have been more options on the store page just to fill out the space and make it look more like an actual shop page.
Damian: Yeah other than that everything worked very well and it was intuitive and easy to use.
