Answer Details
(a) Evaluating fitness for purpose means checking whether the website successfully achieves what it was originally designed to do. [1] This includes verifying that it meets the needs of the target audience and satisfies all the requirements set out in the original design brief. [1]
(b) Two criteria the student could use to evaluate the website:
- Whether the navigation is clear and easy to use, allowing visitors to find the information they need without confusion. [1]
- Whether the website works correctly on different devices and browsers, ensuring that all users have a consistent experience regardless of how they access the site. [1]
(c) Two methods the student could use to gather feedback:
- Create a questionnaire or survey for test users to complete after using the website, collecting structured opinions on design, usability and content. [1]
- Ask test users to complete specific tasks (such as finding a particular page) and observe any difficulties they encounter, which reveals real usability issues. [1]
