Questions:
•How do you find this site? (in 3 words)
•Who do you think the site is created for?
•What are the good attributes of the site (in terms
of usability, aesthetic issues, etc)?
•What are the bad attributes of the site?
1. Unattractive
2. Non-User-friendly.
3. Impractical.
The site was created for potential and interested customers to learn more about their services and gives information’s that the customers might be looking for, e.g. the precise address.
The website is simple and clean. The labels and buttons are properly named. All layout and fonts has the right emphasis, such that the readers understands, and know what they’re reading. Information is organized into appropriate categories.
The layout and colors of the website are unattractive. ‘Contact us’ are only available on the front page; therefore there is a fault in the navigations. The front page did not emphasize on the promotions and the services, like the ‘This card’ and ‘Gift vouchers’. There’s also inappropriate naming of titles on some pages, like the ‘this card’ page.
The site was clear, and simple. However, as a big scale-fashion distributor, they should have something more impressive to attract more customers. Promotions and latest news should have been added to their front page, to allow customers to learn more about their services.

After reading the article, I find that web process is a very long process, such that many things have to be done before the web is officially published. Often, people tend to skip a few steps to save time and such, however, I felt that some steps are significant in the process such as analysis before work, and also post launch activities like test or evaluation. Most of the process examples given often have a common thing which is the concept part, and the design and production. Mock-ups are important as it will pre-launch the website to show mistakes, and what needs to be changed. I find that the article: The Seven Phases of Web Site development was quite will written. As they explain everything clearly, it’s gives a brief explanation about every stage. And this article is has most of the stage that most of the other stages skipped.
To conclude, the web process is a long and thoughtful process. We should not skip any of those important ones in making one.
