My parents want to keep track of when people are going out, have scheduled appointments, and other such things, to make organizing things easier.
My parents want something easy to use, that lets them add and remove events, and then shows them when those events are coming up.
I will create a website that will have a list of events organized by date, a form to add more, and a button to remove them.
Functionality refers to how well a digital technology or outcome works for the end user, and how well it fulfils its purpose.
If the system doesn’t function, the end users won’t be able to use it, and if it doesn’t complete the task it was made to do, they won’t have a reason to use it.
I need to make sure my website is bug-free and completes its task.
Useability refers to how easy a website is to pick up and use, will the user intuitively know what to do, or will they need a guide.
I don’t want the end user to have to constantly need directions to navigate my site, it should be simple enough that they can look at a page and know exactly what everything does.
I will need to make sure that everything of importance is labelled clearly, I also need to avoid over complicating things, so in short, just keep things simple.
Aesthetic refers to how your product looks, this includes everything visual, the layout, the color palette, the font, all of these are related to aesthetics.
Aesthetics have a huge impact on the user, users will be much less likely to use an ugly site than one that looks good.
Very minor changes can be quite substantial when it comes to aesthetics, a single change to the color palette could change how the entire site looks, so for the most part, as long as you don’t go out of your way to make it look as bad as possible, you should just be able to tweak your site based on feedback and be fine.
Privacy refers to how well your website protects the data of whoever is using it.
Since the users of my site will be entering possibly important information, it should be a priority that my website offers good privacy.
i need to create a system to make sure only the users off the site can access the data, as well as making sure the database itself is secure.
Accessibility refers to the ability of a website to be used under any conditions.
I want my site to be as easy and convenient as possible to use, so that my users actually feel like it is worth using.
I need to make sure that my website is easy to use on any device, and that the text is easy to read.
