The final artefact looked into redeployed websites onto an Android and iPhone device and whether they enhance/hinder their experience. The answers consisted of the following sections to outline their experiences; presentation, navigation, accessibility, content, clarity and speed. The design and structure were built upon from artefact 5, where I tested the app for potential errors and faults. The

Before i summarise my final artefact i have created a survey to contribute to my research question and artefact. My artefacts have been directing off course since artefact 4 due to the lack of skills and resources available to venture into 'voice controlled applications'. The reason to have a survey is to touch upon the usability of my artefact as it directly relates to my research question. The

To test my artefact i need to test the app against the website and provide participants a set of question touching upon the enhancing/hindering factors. Once the participants have finished the task and filled out the survey i will have statictics of wether redeployed apps/websites enchance users experience on hand-held devices? I have no got to finish the app and deploy it to hand-held devices

For my final artefact i am going to build upon the app prototype from artefact 5. I received feedback which was useful for correcting content and adding additional features to the app. The point of the final artefact is that from research, the main contributing factors of enhanced experience on hand-held devices was the apps design, navigation and speed.This artefact is going to be a finished

Starting on the new task of creating new images for SPP3 I had a think about how to advertise my images.I got the inspiration from browsing through previous catalogues, these certain designs were the ones that caught my eye, the ones that made the web designs stand out. It wasn't until I started designing that I realised that it will be quite difficult to capture a good image of a web site. The

My fifth artefact looked into the effect of the scrollable type navigation on an app for a hand-held device; which was identified in artefact 3. This artefact looked into testing this type of navigation within an app on a hand-held device. The design and structure was taken forward from artefact 3 where i added additional content to form a complete design. The app was built using Flash Builder

SummaryMy fifth artefact required testing on a hand-held device and is built using Flash Builder. The app is built from we7 and populated using there content. The app was tested on the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) using the 'android-sdk_r10-windows.zip' version r10. The application was setup and ran from my desktop where i packaged up the required files in order to

The whole point of my app is to test the 'navigation' results from arefact 3. This will be tested but i need some content and music examples to engage with upon testing. So i have looked into adding in a mp3 player which will sit within the app and can play local/cashed music from the original website. This feature if i could build it would let users link online via Wi-fi and would be able to

After researching endlessly on crating apps for my 5th artefact i stumbled across building my app within Flash Builder. This would provide me the best viable chance of producing a working app which i could publish on an Android phone. This is crucial to gathering results as it will need a touch screen interface.So far i have delved into building the app and heres my progress so far... What Ive

From posting last i realised just how hard it is to build an app with know experience or guidance. I have looked further into building applications for IPhone or Android. I found a few tutorials and looked further into Eclipse for Javascript builders. This software is designed for coders but would allow me to build apps quicker than the Flash route. Speed is an issue due to having to test this

Before the project began i planned to check my website against W3C (http://validator.w3.org) and used my skills from the previous project (last year) and marked my HTML code up properly through the duration of the project hoping i wouldn't get 60 odd errors :(. Now that my website is almost complete i ran the URL through the validator and got back 1 error!!!. Well good! 59 less than last time!!!.

For my client project i though it would be a good idea to gather responses about the overall design of the palmhive website. I came up with a few questions which would provide me with useful criticism. I put my website link on a forum and asked what members thought. Below is one of the responces i had from a member called 'dap' who's comments were quite useful. He points out that a better font to

Before i can finish my template I need to incorporate Google Analytics into the websites design. This had to be done first as i need to duplicate the template for various pages and don't want to go through each one after including the necessary code. Below are pics showing me going through the process from signing up to placing the code into my template. Signed up to Google Analytics Inserted
