So this past week we have really been working on our advisors site. There is not much else that I have focused on besides making the site as user friendly as possible.
One important aspect to creating a popular site, however, is increasing the internet community on the website. I may sound strange, but interactions between a internet users is very important. By allowing communication lines to open, a reader may feel more “at home” per say on the website. The users will then have a say in what they are seeing or reading, making the site much more user friendly, a key aspect of a successful website.
This week we learned about one more way to making our site more user friendly. We went to the www.polldaddy.com website to create polls and surveys for any viewers to fill out. We could make the poll or survey about any topic. The type of response method (multiple choice, ranking . . .), choices themselves, and skin of the poll or survey was completely determined by us, the creators of the website.
Personally I found this website to be very amusing, by creating a poll I could find out if people online had similar interests as myself and perhaps learn some new activities or hobbies.
In other words, the creation of a poll or survey directly linked me to my viewers. Now I could see what might interest my audience and how I could improve my website.
