Make sure your hyperlinks are active and get at least FOUR people to try out your site.
WHILST they are doing it - make notes on what they do and how you think they're reacting. After they've tried everything out, do a 2 minute quick question session (mini interview) with them and RECORD what they say in your sketchbooks - making sure it's clearly marked as audience feedback.Try to get feedback from BOTH genders!
Remember to decide what questions you're going to ask BEFORE you start!!
This is a CRUCIAL part of your coursework and HAS MARKS ATTACHED.
After you've collated their feedback, make any necessary adjustments on your website.
Then move onto the EVALUATION form (which is worth 30 marks!!!) which you can access on RESOURCES - it's right there - NOT in any folders. Open it and save your version onto YOUR DESKTOP to complete.
DO NOT put any work in the FINAL drop-box yet as you need to complete the CHECKLIST for your portfolio before you submit. The checklist for WebDesign is individually named (so don't lose it) and coloured PEACH (Salmon).

Struggling with how to use iWeb?
If you're not sure and miss is busy OR you just would prefer to know for yourself, you can google pretty much any problem you're having with iWeb and get a solution e.g. "how do I rotate images in iWeb" will reveal hundreds of helpful results....
OR
This site is good - http://web.mac.com/ijasonwhite/iwebunlimited/Tips_Blog/Tips_Blog.html
or you could try this http://www.macworld.com/article/132713/2008/03/tco_iweb.html
Try it and see - it's worth playing around with iWeb also
1. ALWAYS have your INSPECTOR open for full menus
2. Remember that the mouse DOES have a right click - lean your mouse slightly to the right front when you click - this is where the ARRANGE function is where you can put images, text and video to the back (like layers in Photoshop).

Designing your site
WEB DESIGN – THE NEXT STAGE:
1. This lesson – Powerpoint Discussion and…
2. Copy your design from the exam into your sketchbook – VERY TIDILY – USE COLOUR
3. For those of you who DIDN”T sit the exam, you’ll have to quickly devise a first page plan of a website for a new TV Channel.
4. After having done this, you need to IMPROVE your design – drawing the new plan into your sketchbooks – NEATLY – USE COLOUR.
5. You then need to write 10 Bullet points on the changes you made between designs and WHY you made those changes – refer to what you have learnt about Web Design and about TV channel websites. You will now need your design to have FOUR PAGES
6. Next you will be drawing your plan as a FLOWCHART like the one you were showed in class in the Powerpoint – see point 1 – a copy of which is on the blog http://webdesignformediastudies.blogspot.com
7. You will then TEST your plans on TWO people and record their feedback – giving THREE points per person so:
a. Person One – three bullets on feedback
b. Person Two – three bullets on feedback
8. You will then begin the design phase – there will be a TEACHING LESSON on WEB DESIGN using iWeb on MONDAY 14th – next week
9. You will then design your web page and you will have 4 lessons – this phase will finish the second week back after half term – that is Thursday 3rd March.
Here’s a plan to help you:
