Site needs to be

easy to navigate and find what is the person wants

Grab peoples attention make then interested

Give direction to people so they can easily start using the website

 

Audience

Anyone interested in new media to keep them interested

Currently in new media

 

Current site Weakness

It has hints of direction but lacks an element to keep people interested

More important parts like a link for new students needs to be bigger and more interesting

Difficult to find what you want

Everything is very small and nothing pops out

There is nothing on the site that people are directed to and unless they look really hard they will get lost and leave

Hidden jems lost in a sea of uninteresting small words

 

Strengths

Has a lot of information intergrated

has everything that the site needs but wasn’t presented in a way that people can easily enjoy it.

 

New site Strengths

 It’s clean and well laid out

Not clustered together

 

New Site Weaknesses

No information

Not enough Directions

Doesn’t capture people attention

It’s not new media feels more like just a school site.

What we need to do is make navigation for all different people. Parents want to find easy information so they will know exactly what to tell their kids about this program. Students who are in or not yet in the program have different needs. To become interested in the program or to use the features on the site that will help people get involved in the program.

One thought on “NMD Website Review_KevinBoucher

  1. Your comments suggest possible different entry points for different audiences–what do potential students want to explore? current students? parents? employers?

    what kind of content & nav scheme would you use to grab and direct the attention of viewers?
