Artefact 3 - Results

The results and data – Artefact 3

Listed below are the questions with the answers and results.
Instead of doing hand-outs of this questionnaire I did it virally asking friends to either print out or fill in online. This worked better in getting quick responses to analysis.

I managed to get 15 participants to take part in the survey. In this questionnaire I found it irrelevant to ask background questions such as name age or address. So instead I began by asking set questions on the structure before taking the research further with existing examples of layout and interaction in websites.

Section 1 results:
This section was designed to look at the principles of Constantine and Lockwood. I chose four select models all unique. I gave the title and description for people who haven’t heard of them. I then asked the participants a set of select questions that would allow me gain a clearer understanding of the audience’s views. The results showed me that the design principles had a mixed response for structural and simplicity. This made it clear that structure can be a method of enhancing the viewers experience and also improve the interaction. The two preferred methodologies where structural and simplicity. I took this research further in section two by looking at set models with imagery.
In this project I have discovered that the most popular principle overall was the structural principal.

Question 1: This question had a mixed response showing me that there is no specific principle that works best in the viewer’s eyes.
1)8
2)2
3)3
4)2

Question 2: The structural principle was the design that if in the form of a web application would immediately grab the viewer’s attention.
1)8
2)3
3)1
4)3


Question 3: This data showed me that two of the principal’s that previously grabbed the audience’s attention weren’t web applications that would be considered whilst browsing the web.
1)9
2)6
3)0
4)0

Question 4: This question showed me which design kept them most interested and engaged. The highest one was the structural principal followed by the simplicity principal.
1)8
2)5
3)1
4)1

Question 5:
1)9
2)5
3)1
4)0

Section 2 results:
This section was designed to see what visually appealed to the participants in structure.
The F model was the most popular with 10 out of 15 people preferring the design to the Z model.

Section 3 results:
Unlike the pervious sections this one looked at both interactions with structure. It helped me to understand how structure can keep a web page organised whilst keeping the viewer engaged.

Question 1:
1)9
2)4
3)2

Question 2: This showed me that the page that was most visually appealing was the page that kept the viewers most interested. This was the F model layout according to the data.
1)8
2)5
3)2

Question 3:
1)2
2)4
3)9

Question 4:
1)10
2)4
3)1

These results have helped me to see how structure can affect the interaction within a web application. The results showed me that structure can enhance interaction in a web application but it all depends on personal choice and the specific model used. For example the most popular in this survey was the F model with the structural principle being the most appealing. This combination would work to enhance any forms of interaction within the web application which would keep the viewer engaged and interested. This shows that certain techniques can improve interactions in websites and make them be noticed sooner. In addition this keeps the viewer interested and engaged quicker all working together to create a memorable experience.
