If we refer to the 10
heuristics by Jacob Nielsen this websites does not follow any of the
heuristics.
i
- Visibility of system status.
-
The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within reasonable time.
ii -
Consistency and standards.
- Users
should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean
the same thing. Just follow the platform conventions.
iii - User
control and freedom.
- Users
often choose system functions by mistake and will need a clearly marked
"emergency exit" to leave the unwanted state without having to go
through an extended dialogue. So we must support undo and redo.
One thing that i would like to
improve is rearrange the product by category so that when the customer want to
buy any product it is easier for them to find the products. Other than that at
the front page makes sure to put just a few products for display. The designer
did get his information across which is selling stuff but in this case, we
called it “information overload” where the viewers has too much information
onscreen at the same time and that it distract and confuses them. You
really don’t want to confuse your viewers especially when you’re trying to sell
a product.
I would not encourage others to
visit site because we’re not sure what this website offer but if we have to
guess then it’s some sort of ecommerce website. This ecommerce websites feel
very out-of-date and needed an overhaul. Nothing in this website that is given
a clear purpose of what this designer is trying to achieve. Maybe it’s popular
in the 90’s but now it’s the most avoidable website for buying online.
