From my research, the website looks appealing to the majority of the people viewing it and could be improved in certain areas like adding more photos and a longer promo video to help the website. Most of the people liked the layout for the website, because it was easy to navigate through the tabs to find the key and important parts about Harrlow College. 

The things i would change on the website to make it better would change the colour scheme and the background and also have brighter colours so it can stand out on the website,and bolder text so it would be more easy to read the text. From my questionnaire most of the people liked the work produced on the website, but could be improved in some areas.

The people from the questionnaire through that the website did help give out the important details about the media department and gave them a basic view of what the harlow college media department looks like.]]> 2016-03-08 14:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/markmcelwain3/exrp08vp966c/wish/99650960
