Artefact 4 -The results

The results from the individual answers:

Below are some of the results and responses I got from the candidates who took part in the focus group. This was to support the transcript and give additional data to my research.

The first website was the Guinness website.
The second web application was the red interactive agency.

Question 1 answer’s:
Participant 1: ‘I preferred the first website the Guinness one as it had lots of unusual features that kept me interested.’
Participant 2: ‘The Guinness website as it was more appealing visually and had a lot of different features.’
Participant 3: ‘The second one because it was more like a game than a website.’
Participant 4: ‘I liked the red interactive website because of the game environment it used.’
Participant 5: ‘The second because of its unique style.’

This showed me that the candidate’s where mainly in favour of the first web application. As the answers described the engagement of the different interaction on the first website kept them interested and more involved with the variation of different features.


Question 2 answer’s:
Participant 1: ‘I would use the first website.’
Participant 2: ‘preferable the second because of its unique style.’
Participant 3: ‘The first because it was more appealing.’
Participant 4: ‘The first one because it’s simple to use and fun.’
Participant 5: ‘The second website as it’s different to ordinary websites.’

This showed no matter what the content was the user would use the Guinness website rather than the second portfolio web application. In addition the data showed me that the mouse interactions created an atmosphere that appealed more to the audience and would be preferred in daily use.

Question 3 answer’s:
Participant 1: ‘The first was the most interesting for me’
Participant 2: ‘I found the first one portrayed the content in the best manner.’
Participant 3: ‘I liked the second one as it portrayed the content in a different manner too normal websites.’
Participant 4: ‘I believe the first one was the more interesting out of the two as the content was organised well and was easy to use.’
Participant 5: ‘The first because I found the second distracted me from the content.’

This showed me which out of the two websites not only kept them interested but worked to portray the content through interactions well without distracting them. The results showed me that the method that did this best was mouse interactions instead of game based interactions or animations.

Overall I discovered that a web page can use interaction in different ways but the best method of interaction is mouse affects. This works best according to the data to keep the viewer not only engaged but also interested whilst using the website. It also was the best methodology to portray the content.
