Feedback – Group 1
- The site has no ‘services’ links –they are listed but are no website links.
- Needs a link to Transperth to help coordinate travel options.
- Links to local graffiti artists responsible for the artwork at the centre.
- Lists to local events – Hyperfest – and Heatseeker.
- Jobstrack?? Do they need a link to this or is there a link already??
- Aesthetically the colours are ‘funky’ but less use of the colour Black would be appreciated.
- Some photos are repeated throughout the site, and often there are too many – not everything needs a picture.
- Have an Introduction to the people who work at the centre:
- Managers/Counsellors
- Perhaps a photo and statement of what they do
- Needs a map with directions to the Train Station – see above point about Transperth link.
- Font is too small – they use size 8.5 font which is very small for a public access site.
- FAQ section is conspicuously absent
Feedback – Group 2
- The intro page should automatically direct you to the site.
- The side navigation bar is plain, simple and ‘boring’ – nothing eye-catching or distinctive.
- Overall, the graphics are good and well presented – however the same cannot be said of those on the main page.
- Broken links are not good – indicate a lack of maintenance of the site.
- More information needs to be given on displayed images – perhaps a short explanation or description.
- A map to show people how to get there would be very beneficial.
- The Black background looks good in theory, but here the site just looks plain and ordinary.
- The site as a whole – and the intro page – would benefit from a more eye-catching design.
