Bonita Jamison is one of my website evaluators. She is a school district superintendent who works closely with her communication department on websites and other forms of media. Her feedback was helpful and useful in many ways. She talked to me about my audience and how i should design my website with them in mind. She didn't know much about code but did have alot to say as far as design and overall functions of the website. For her visit to my site she used a macbook pro running osx sierra.
Sabryna is a friend of mine that also goes to Mizzou. She is a digital artist and web developer. She created a webpage for astology and studying the stars. She is familiar with HTML/CSS. Her website is appealing to the eye, and works well. She used Safari to view my website.
Katina is a professor and digital artist that works at the university missouri columbia. She has alot of experience with digital design, photography and art. I asked her to review my webpage becuase i value her opinion as an artist and creator. She doesn't have much knowledge of code but does have some knowledge regarding presentation and design.
The three participants that evaluated my website all had different contributions to add. Bonita and Sabryna focused on my design/HTML. While Katina focused on my content and the appearance of my content. They all urged me to add more photos/pictures to my website. At this point the website has few photos and could benefit from more pictures. Two suggested that I add a comment/ discussion board. That way people who have questions can ask them in a way that is viewable by the public.

After going over the evaluations I decided to make three major changes to my website. I will first add more pictures to my web page. All my evaluators feel like this will help with the visual aspect of website. The second change I plan to make is the clock at the top of my website. I migth go with a digital clock instead of the classic. Lastly i would like to create a questions and comment section where visitors can exchange opinions and points of view on the site.
I really appreciate all of the input my evaluators gave me. I’ve given this website all I got, and I was out of inspiration. Having these people go over my website rejuvenated my inspiration. The ideas and ways to improve my page started flowing again. For any website I create I will always go through this step. Evaluations are similar to having someone proofread your paper. They can catch errors you’re blind to and tell you where you can improve. I appreciate that the three people who evaluated my website all had something different to contribute. It helped me see things from a perspective of complete enjoyment. Their suggestions will truly make my website more enjoyable for a wider audience. While Sabryna also had great suggestions, they were more less focused on the technical aspects of my website and how they could be improved.
