Evaluation - Social Media Apps

Evaluation - http://marksaponja.wix.com/garrywaltermedia

Every platform that I have reviewed has its own page where I've explained the key features of that particular app. Every page has "History" part where I wrote a small bit about how that app was created and its early days. Next to the History paragraph, there are "Features". Here I've explained the most important features of the app. I tried to make it as clean as possible. It took me a while to finish it, but I think it was worth the wait.

On every page, i had my content displayed in order to show how these apps actually work. Most of them are pretty simple illustrative photos which can help the viewer get around the interface of the app. For Snapchat, I've made a tutorial in which i demonstrated how to make your own geofilter. It was compiled of 8 images showing each step of the way for creating the filter. Because of this, Snapchat's page has the most content. On some reviews I've put images of people who are likely to use these app. This contributed to the overall look of the site.

My target audience are people aged from 16 and up. People who are familiar with technology and are happy to try new things in the industry. Most of the apps are targeted at people that are 16 and up, but some like Google Hangouts have a different target audience. Google Hangouts can be used for business calls and its not so popular with young people.

I tried to make the website simple to navigate, pages are long and vertical. The main menu has 3 pages displayed: Home, Social Media (Social media has sub pages where you'll find reviews of the apps). I've also added some Anchors which allow you to jump to certain points on the page, without having to scroll all the way down. I don't have a particular color scheme except for the menu which is red with white fonts and the logo on the left, as for the rest of the site, i tried to follow the red scheme, but it didn't work out. The menu on the top will always stick to the top of the screen so you can access it without having to scroll up, and since some of the pages are long that would be annoying and impractical. 

Due to the lack of time, I was forced to shorten the writing, and focus on the important bits. This impacted the websites look. As i was reviewing some of the apps, i came across some that im not very familiar with, so that too took its time. I had some problems with saving the work, as for some reason Wix didn't want to respond to my commands. I think that's all there is to it, no further problems have I encountered.

The whole website design could improve as well as the writing in my reviews in terms of quantity. Most of the images used for the design are stock footage ones. If I had the time I would take some myself and incorporate them into the site. I would also add some videos showing these apps in use.
