My step dad has a problem I will attempt to solve. He is a builder and he has struggle with keeping track of the jobs he’s done for clients to help with billinig the correct people the correct amount.
My step dad is my end-user and I will be talking to during the project. He would need a large font that’s easy to read and a simple to use/straight forward layout.
Replace this text with a brief statement about the system that you intend to create, including the key functionality it should have. I intend to create a system that shows clients and the jobs
The functionality implication means that everything in the website, and it works well. It should be meeting its purpose and works as expected. It should be meeting all the end user’s requirements be able to deal with all types of inputs
This implication is relevant to my project because everything should be functioning well and needs to work as expected.
I will need to consider how everything is working, the project is heavily impacted by this implication because if it is not functioning then no one can use it.
The usability implication is how easy the website is to use without any help or guidance. Things should be able to get done quickly and easily. The layout should feel familiar. There should always be a clear way for the end user to move forwards or cancel an action if needed. And it should be clear and obvious what is happening to the end user at all times.
This implication is relevant to my project because the website I am creating should be easy to use, especially for my end user who needs something straight forward.
I will need to consider who this is made for so it’s easy for the end user to work out. The project will be impacted by this implication because if it is confusing to use it would be frustrating to the end user and they would not want to use it.
The aesthetic implication is about how the website looks. It should be appealing to the end user and follow design conventions. There should also be a good use of the fonts, like the colour and position. The design should be relevant to what’s made (e.g if it’s a site on bikes there may be a picture of one instead of a cat.) Colours should work together to create a pleasing effect. Certain elements should be grouped or seperated depending on whether they should be linked or not.
This implication is relevant to my project because the aesthetics of the website should be appealing and the elements should be grouped correctly to make it less confusing for the end user.
I will need to think about correctly grouping elements and making the site look appealing to the end user. This impacts it by making a layout less confusing for an end user so they will like it and if it’s appealing they’ll enjoy using it.
This implication is connected to the specific needs of the end user(s). The needs could be about age, education, interests, etc. It should be appealing to the correct people.
This implication is relevant to this project because I am targeting specific users, in this case for builders so I need to know about my end users specific needs.
I will need to consider getting regular feedback from my end user, this implication impacts the project because if I didn’t get feedback about what the end user wants, they most likely will not use it as it doesn’t fit their needs.
Replace this text with a clear explanation of what the implication means.
Replace this text with an explanation of why the implication is relevant to this particular project.
Replace this text with an explanation of what you will need to consider moving forward and how the project will be impacted by this implication.
The system should be useful, and it should fulfill a real need for a group of end users
This principle is relevant to this project because if it is not useful or not fulfilling a need, it will not be used and have no purpose making it useless
Moving forward I will need to consider the need of the end user,
Replace this text with an explanation of what you will need to consider moving forward and how the project will be impacted by this principle.
The system should be easy to navigate so the end user can find the content or function they need to with no problem
This principle is relevant to this project because it should be easy to navigate especially for my end user who is not very familiar with technology.
I will need to consider how easy everything is to use/find so it is easy for my end user. If it’s difficult it will impact the end user they may get frustrated and get fed up by the site
The system should be easy to use for the intended end user, however, good usability on its own is not sufficient
This principle is relevant to my project because it should be easy to use, if it is confusing it will be frustrating to my end user or anyone using the site
I will need to consider while moving forward how easy this is to use, the placement of buttons and any icons looking familiar (e.g a house for home button)
