During the Easter term I completed the report in which I review and give recommendations on SalaamShalom.org.uk.
I researched the site in depth and contacted the website designer/manager Sam Downie.
The areas I researched and included in the report are:
- Site Overview (Purpose, Audience, Scope, Structure, Technology, Technical challenges)
- Conformance to standard and guidelines (Web Accesability guidelines)
- Governance structures and processes
- Web 2.0 technologies (How they can be implemented to improve the site)
I enjoyed reviewing the site and giving it a thorough analysis. I will be forwarding my findings to Sam Downie and hope that these can help him to improve the site.
I found some good web accesability evaluation tools including:
- TAW (Tool for analysis of Websites based on the W3C Web content accesability guidelines)
- ATRC (A tool to validate URLs against a different section of guidelines)
- Vischeck (Shows you what a website would like to someone who is color blind)
- WAVE (Shows the original web page with embedded icons and indicators that reveal the accessability of that page)
- Browser Shots (Take screenshots of the site in different browsers/resolutions)
My goals and objectives for the up and comin weeks are to prepare for the exam. I will be researching the subjects posted on the Wiki by my tutor. This includes Web 2.0 technologies and Web standards which is useful as I already gainied an in depth insight into them when writing this report as well as throughout the module.
