Presentation of Final Report (14/5/2013)

We just done the presentation of our final report 2 days ago which is Tuesday (14/5/2013). We are enjoying the presentation on that day. We hope that our student can capture what are we going to present. Our report title which is about the sport and focus on man category. During the presentation, we try to show some weaknesses of the sport website we chosen earlier (/www.sportsabyss.com/). However, the webpage is down and unavailable right now. Below show the interface of the website:

From the interface above we can see that the webpage quite weak in design. For example, the interface of the webpage is less attractive compared to the other sport websites. Furthermore, there is no any navigation search bar in the website which caused the users or visitors hard to search the information in the website. In addition, there is no any home menu and category in the website. If we are the users, we may feel frustrating when visiting this kind of sport website due to difficulties to search the require information.

After we done some discussion and collect some opinions from our respondents, we had re-designed a new webpage for the sport abyss. We re-design the webpage according to the top 15 sport websites in the world like sl.com, yahoosports, espn.com and so on. Why those sport websites so famous? There must be some criteria over there we need to learn. So, our team have done some survey to those websites and finally the new interface is coming out as below:

The new interface which we design for sport abyss is according to those famous sport websites. We provide some new function like adding search bar, loading highlights video, reading latest sport news and so on. This can attract most of the users to visit our websites due to this kind of services we provided. During the re-designed process, we also concerned about the familiar interface of the sport website. Why we concern about it? This is because we want to increase the usability of the websites. Familiar interface which we mentioned about is like the search bar, home menu, structure of the website and so on. By providing the familiar interface, it can help to increase the usability such as memorability and learnability. In addition, familiar interface can help the users would not feel frustrated when they are searching the information in our website.
