Client - Constructive criticism

After creating a first draft of the website I decided a great way to get ideas and some feedback would be a focus group and questionnaire. So to get clarification and test for possible problems I got a group of people to beta test the web application.

Focus group: This was the first bit of testing I did.
The questions:
Is there any part of the website that didn’t work/ function correctly?
What would you change if you could change anything?

The comments/ answers:
One said the links where unreadable - I changed it to a more readable font that complemented the design.
Another participant said the links where unresponsive to the mouse. – To overcome this I added a hover over affect that made the links light up to the interaction of the browser.
I like how simple the website is too use with everything in an organised structure, making it easy to find what you need.
Questionnaire: I did this in addition to the focus group. Below I have listed some of the questions I did in the questionnaire. I have also added some of the comments and responses I got from the questionnaire.

Do you think the design fits the genre/style of football?
Participant 1: yes the colour schemes complement the images.
Participant 2: Yes
Participant 3: I think the green works well as it is a colour used to symbolise football or sport.

Is there anything you would change about the web application?
Participant 1: Nope
Participant 2: Yes the text on some of the pages is difficult to read.

Did the website keep you interested?
Participant 1: yes
Participant 2: yep

When using the website were the pages easy to navigate?
Participant 1: yes
Participant 2: yeah the links where easy to use.

As a website was it easy to use?
Participant 1: yeah it was straight forward and easy to understand.
Participant 2: The website was easy to navigate.

If there was anything you could improve or change what would it be?
The results I got from the questionnaire.

The results gave me some interesting feedback with areas for improvement. I have now made these amendments and intend on producing the next draft to the client to get additional feedback and gain their response to the website.
