 * How can shopping online be made effective? **

**Unit question: What makes an effective web design?**
= INVESTIGATION =

Current Situation/Problem:

How can online shopping be made effective. The problems are that websites have the chance of being hacked and lose money of their bank account or have the opportunity for losing the online website. Hackers can also, like for problem, threats companies with destruction or cheats managers for owners by gaining money for cheats. Why? Because nowadays technology is very advanced and open world wide. You can do so many things on computers and softwares. Hacker have much bigger chances for hacking in the years, when we get more advanced.

Task 1. The website for people over 50 is more boring no colors and pictures and format is simple and easy to navigate around it. The websites are used to go on is more detail and colorful, you can do more thing than the websites for people over is easy to follow and not detailed and more structured. The website for seniors is much more user friendly and it has larger writing for older people that maybe cant see so well.

Task 3. How can shopping online be made effective?

 * Online Shopping**

1. What do you need to shop online? You need the knowledge for where to search, you need to have a credit card so when you purchase something you need to write the card numbers. So you need to be a grown up. You need to have enough money to buy things. You need to have Internet. 2. What does the shop need to offer online shopping? When a shop need to make a website they need to offer an website that is easy to find and when to purchase they need to be reliable when buy their products and they cant be hackers that steal money from your bank account. 3. How can hackers steal either your money or the shops money while shopping online? They use software and databases so that they can find out the codes or shop money account. 4. What measures can be used to prevent hacking? You can download software and get security companies so the hackers cant hack in.

What makes a good website?
1. How useful/whats the purpose? 2. User Friendless 3. Design 4. Domain Name 5. Purpose
 * Information should be useful for everyone.
 * Information should be updated/new
 * Shouldn't be un useful or uncompleted information.
 * Users shouldn't feel cheated by content. (Then they will find another website for what they are researching.) They will lose member/users/viewers.
 * Need to show where the information is got from, reference it.
 * The website shall be clear and it should be easy to locate it and find around it.
 * It should be simple and so the user doesn't turn off.
 * Not overfilled by pictures or moving videos or smart graphics, so if the user has slow internet connection will it be even more slow and the user will stopping using the website.
 * The effects shall be appropriate foe everyone, (for older people or persons with eye problems??).
 * It can show users that the website is made by a person with small experience and knowledge by the effects are out of place on the pages or homepage. Or commercials in inappropriate way on websites.
 * The name should be simple and to remember, not something that is in convenient or long and usual name.
 * If the website is marked in a free browser refers to no professionalism.
 * A good website should meet its purpose.
 * You should know what to achieve.
 * Hold the focus on what the website is about. Then if not the readers will be confused and it will get a bad repetition for disorganization.
 * It shall not have to be expensive, if the pages are not overflown it will be easier to achieve what you want.

= CREATE =





= EVALUATE =

Consider the success of the product. How could the product be improved? Did the product match the design?
The success of the product was not good, the website was not that successful, because the quality of it first of all was not good. I didn't know about the coding so the basic things i couldn't make and i am a little frustrated about that. The website could, to be very honest... a lot. First of all, the colour scheme of the website, didn't go so well together and there wasn't that many colours. The information on the website, there was not enough of it. In the design specs. there was a homepage, but there was not 5 pages, that was written in the design spec. about the different areas like


 * ==Stage== || ==Grade== || ==Reason For Level .== || ==How to improve next time .== ||
