after completign this website i can see how important user testing is. I have never had the need to contact a energy company or go on a website for energy. So this was well out my comfort zone.
how ever i did gather a lot of information on what people would like to see on an energy website. Like how to save energy and most popular how much appliances cost. So i applied this to my website giving the user a graph to show how much things cost if they where on for a few days. Also to show the companies saving i had a year saving rate that you could save with this company. I feel that this was good way for the user to get information and to show why this company is better. i feel like i killed to birds with one stone in doing this.
With design i wanted to keep it simple to apply to a wide audience. I also tried to keep the theme of green running through the site so that it reflected what the campany is about, "being green". I wanted nice images in the site of greenary and the environment to show and give the site a clean feel which i found alot of users liked the images and even stopped to have a look.
Withb the price plans i wanted it to be a quick selection because i found that noone like to read through price plans to find there match. so to keep it in the green field i adopted the a system where you can choose between a leaf, tree and a flower these represented small medium and large. I feel like this was good good choice to add. Alot of users liked it and said they would remember what their plan was if asked when contacting a company. I feel that this was really good for this type of site where they can be information overload and the user never likes to have that
overall i like the site i produced and think it went down well with users. i would change some of the layout if i had the time because i feel like it con look messy on some pages.
