Evaluation
1. My clients original idea was quite concise and he told me exactly wanted on the site, this meant that I had some very clear guidelines to work to.However, on the design front of the website I was given a lot of freedom, and I was told to do what I thought was best. Due to this my website was in quite close relation to the clients original intentions, but the design was all my own work, but the client was happy with the way it turned out.
2. My website was to work as a promotional and booking website, so that clients could easily access information about the DJ and book him without confusion. To make sure that it fit this purpose I made these pages easy to reach, with them in large buttons on top of every webpage. This made them easy to reach and was proven in the user tests.
3. A technical quality was the Google form that I embedded into the booking page to allow inquires to be directly emailed to the clients inbox.
4. Some aesthetic qualities I made was the images that I created for buttons on the navigation bar. This made a change from the usual plain text that are found on most websites. Also, I think that keeping the same layout for most of the pages kept the website simple and more visually pleasing.
5. It has a style that connotes a party/exciting vibe.
6. The content was all provided by the client and was spell checked by a computer and checked again by me.
7. The client provided the information so it was as the client wanted.
8. My production skills where good, as I had a clear idea of what I wanted the website to look like along side the guidelines the clients had given me. My presentation was good as I had followed a lot of online tutorials before I set out to create a complete website. I think that my creativity was limited as the I found that working with HTML was hard and some ideas I had not possible as doing them in HTML where far to complex for me.
9. I think that I could have been better at documenting my work for my client. This was because my client was in close contact with my client at all time, so I communicated constantly and often forgot to note this down. This is one downfall I had in my production.
10. If I was to change my project I think that I may have tried to create my website completely from scratch. This would mean that I would have more freedom and understand what had been coding more. However, we did have a very limited time to create this website so this method may not have worked.
11. One way I could have improved my websites search engines optimization would be to accurately describe what content was on my page, for example I accidentally kept the name of my webpage at the name of the template I used, to use increase SEO the should have chosen one that accurately describes the page for example, 'DJ Luke Shires'.
Another way would be to use 'metatags' to my advantage. This would give a description to what my website to Google that would mean that the page is likely to show up in more web searches. These tags can be a sentence or up to a whole paragraph.
A final way would be to optimize the use of my images, this would mean the images would been seen on a Google image search, which would bring traffic in from another source.
