User Testing: iGARLIKEit

Thoughts: Taken from our user testing. It seems our design successful and our interface is user friendly despite that the site is not fully completed and functioning. The User is able to know what the topic and purpose of the site. This site has potentials and has a great concept.

Below is a questionnaire that we used for user testing. I asked my brother in-law to test the site.

Front Page = 8

• I like the colors and the picture slide show (THE GARLIC ICE CREAM HAS TO STAY)
  
• The intro text on the right could use a little bit more flamboyance
Recipes = 8

• organized neatly
• maybe make the text the same pink as the recipe button? [there's also an error on that page for my computer, the words are overflowing downward off the screen]
  
Health = 9

• good idea to put this section. I would have read it if it weren't for the lorem ipsum
• maybe put an icon next to each health benefit? (and maybe make the text color the same yellow as the health button)
  
Oh my Odor = 8

• I LIKE THE FART ONE!!!
• The text that you put there needs to be interesting and unexpected or else this page wont seem necessary (but i know its just lorem ipsum for now (unless you guys aren't required to put text and are going to leave it like that (in which case this suggestion is kinda useless)))
  
About = 9

• I like it. It really shows the website's dedication to a dry, smelly, plant
• could use a faded background picture maybe. Just a visual thing to look at

1. Rate the Design

9 I like the colors; it's very nice, neat, and clean; its easy to find everything; the only thing that keeps it from being a 10 is that its not mind blowingly amazing (which, very few things are)





2. When looking at the home page, can you instantly tell what the site is about?

It took about 7 seconds for me to figure out the theme. The garlic bulb and the heart in the iGARLIKEit represent the theme very well. The picture slide show helped the most.


3. Rate the site content

8 Recipes is the only real requirement and it was very well done; the health benefits is an good idea, I would read it if there was stuff to read; the smell one doesn't really seem too important but its pretty funny and, if some interesting stuff is written there, it would really add to the website. The about does its job







4. Rate the navigation/ ease of use:

9 simple and easy to understand. Its not perfect because its not done and some of the errors for my computer make it less easy to





5. The registration/login process (is it easy to use?)

Yes. I'm not sure why I had to lie about being 18 to enter though. There was also a little bit of a problem for my computer to view this part too.





6. Submitting a recipe

Simple and easy to use. I messed up on the ingredients part though. I thought the box on the left was for the ingredient and the box on the right was for the amount of the ingredient.
