LO5 - Evaluation
Looking over what I have done on my website, I'm overall pleased with how it has turned out. Most of the results from the user test plans were positive. However, based on the feedback from the test plans, there are some improvements that I could have made.
There was a missing link on an image on the Products page. The image above the word "Machines" does not contain a hyperlink to the page titled Machines. However, there are other ways of reaching the page, such as the link in the main navigation bar, the text "Machines" itself, and the "online store" link on the home page.
Some feedback from the test plan suggests that the house style of the website isn't fully consistent. I agree with some of this feedback, as the block of text on the home page is blue, whereas none of the other text on the website is blue. However, I disagree with the feedback that stated there was too much black text on some pages, as too much text of any other colour would be too overwhelming, or not stand out enough on the page.
I also disagree with the feedback that states that the yellow in the cart side-bar is not consistent. The "add to cart" button on each product page is also yellow, following the theme of a yellow cart icon, and a yellow "view cart" button in the pop-up side-bar.
There were no other apparent issues or improvements to be made.

LO4 - Website Assessment
Navigation
The website is easy to navigate, with clear links that are easy to identify. Links are sorted logically in the menu at the top of the website. There is more than one link to access some pages, for example there is a link to the shop page from the home page as well as the products page.
Internal and External Hyperlinks
Based on user feedback, there is a small error in an internal hyperlink which will be fixed. All of the other internal and external hyperlinks are functional and go to the link they should go to.
Page Load Times and Performance
Loading times on all browsers is relatively quick, however Safari takes slightly longer than the other browsers. There doesn't seem to be too much delay in the loading time of the website on any browser. The website runs easily on all these browsers.
Consistency of House Style
The house style is generally consistent throughout the website, particularly in the font. The colours of parts of the text could be changed to more suit a house style.
