I recommend you send your 7 surveyors the link to your project via ui class webpage (i.e. http://webpages.uidaho.edu/art370-yourvandalname/projfolder/index.html) and PDF or word doc of Usability form.

Then continue to make revisions to your site for homework. There will be one more studio day next Tuesday for questions and technical troubleshooting.

Besides the feedback received from in class and outside testing, be sure to consider the overall project goals and objectives, including the following:

• Effectiveness of information design and organization
• Impact of visual aesthetic (appropriate for content? for target audience?) 
• Successful Interface Usability (clarity, ease, compatible for multiple browsers and devices/screen size)
