1) Abstract Aberystwythbasketball.com is a site dedicated to the Aberystwyth Men’s Basketball team and

promoting the team to new heights.

The team started back in 1992 by Christian Brown. The site has an e-commerce element, which will

allow viewers/potential players the chance to purchase gear related to the team. The committee of

the time will have access to the site and will be in charge of keeping stocks maintained and adjusting

prices where needed. Because the site will be used by others, whom may be less computer-literate, I

have chosen to create my site using WordPress. I feel WordPress allows those who lack experienced

with website development a chance to understand what they are doing. As the site requires an

option to be able to purchase items, I will be using a plugin called Woocomerce that provides for

stock, prices and a range of other related applications to buying and selling.

During the business analysis, I made sure all of the stakeholders would benefit from the site and

looked into how the site would benefit them. I also created a rich picture that would display how the

stakeholders would benefit from the site and what sort of access will be needed. I then went onto

discuss what typical users will be able to do with the site and what they can expect to happen. I

displayed this by designing a use case diagram. Finally, I did some research into a range of different

sites; first looking into another local team and secondly researching a professional team. This

enabled me to appreciate what the pros and cons where of their respective sites.

Whilst doing the design, I frequently made adjustments to designs I had done on paper, making sure

the changes I was making benefited the site. After completion of the prototype, it gave me a broad

insight into what the site will look like and how the pages will work. I went onto design an early user

evaluation simply because it gave me an insight into what would work well and what would not. This

feedback led to a range of changes that only benefited the site. A massive advantage of using

WordPress, and one of the main reasons I decided to create my site using it, is that it pre-defines the

databases meaning less time could be spent on them.

For the testing part, I used 3 people from the early user evaluation and then 3 subsequent people. I

asked them all to complete tasks on the site within 10 minutes and then proceeded to ask them

another set of questions about the site and inputted their data onto charts.

In the achievements section I used screenshots to show all aspects of my site and show all features

that could be used with the site.

In the final section, critical analysis, I reflected on everything I had done. I considered what worked

well and what I found hard and how I overcame the problems. I also discussed ideas for what I could

do with the site if I had more time.

2) Background I created a website to help with the elected committee’s small jobs. At the time, these included

promoting the team, sorting the team’s financial position and also general administration relating ot

the running of the team in general. The current team is made up of 12 to 14 team members and a

handful of players who are just casual players. The team are coached by a full-time lecturer here at

the university, Jan Ruzicka, who gives up his free time to help the team out. At the moment, the site

allows people a chance to get to know current team players. This aspect of the site is achieved

through interview-like questions that are not only concentrated on the basketball side, but also gives

an insight into the personality of the players and their likes and dislikes. The site is also designed

with a shop in mind which will allow viewers to purchase gear related to the team.

The main aspects of my site will be to advertise the team and also give additional help to the

committee as being such a small club compared to rugby or football a lot of the work needed to

remain a club with the university can be a little overwhelming. The main point of the site will it will

hopefully offer clear information on our club and promote us even more. The site has an easy to use

contact us page that will allow people to send emails directly to the president of the time.

Another feature of my site is it will heavily appeal to people wanting to play for the club and support

the team. It is for that reason that the page will give the users a chance to register and also a chance

to buy items related to the team. As mentioned previously, another feature is a “meet the team”

that will allow potential players to get to know the current team. It feature personal information

with players and coaches and provide a picture of the player.

Even though the site at the moment is limited to just one team, there is potential for a huge upscale

of the site in the future. However, this does not prevent other people from viewing the site and get

in contact with reference to trying out a new sport (as this is what we heavily promote throughout

the team).

As Aberystwyth is such a small town in Wales, meaning the team is relatively small, I really feel this

will give the team a chance to easily promote themselves in a modern way via the site but also it will

help the committee with a lot of jobs that can be very repetitive. Maintenance after the site is live is

key for my site as making sure the site can be used by people who do not know much about web

design and also by our coach who is not overly computer literate.

5 | P a g e

Coach The coach will need access to the site to see who have expressed an interest in the team. The coach also does not have access to social media, so this site will be a great way for him to have an exclusive insight into future players. Current team members The site will benefit current team players by allowing them to get to see people who have expressed an interest in the sport and also getting to view details on upcoming games. Also, they will be able to get to view interview-like questions about their team mates and also find out information regarding the socials on Wednesday. Advertise on University page We would hope, as we are representing the university that they would be open to the idea of supporting/advertising our website that will not only benefit them but also massively help us expand ourselves as a team and attract more members. This would, in turn, lead to more customers attending the student union on our socials. Intermediaries/Old members/Friends of the team Word of mouth is obviously very important to the team and also to increasing the numbers we have on the team. We also already have a successfully made group on Facebook with over 10 members; we hope to expand on this through being more heavily involved with social media trends which the university students start. Also included will the support of friends and old members who will be used to promote events such as “old boys” and will be tasked with keeping people interested via social media. Interested players Potential players will have to make sure they are interested in the team and we need to makes sure that we offer them a professional looking site that makes them want to join the team. Also, we will need to make sure all of our content is up-to-date so that they can benefit as much as possible. Committee – including president, vice president and treasurer The site will need to be easily accessible and easy to use because in future years so to provide for a situation where the current team is confident in using IT. The committee will also need a strong presence on the site so that they can see who is registered and who has paid. The committee will work in such a way that the president will teach the vice president and treasurer and so on with each new president passing on knowledge to the next. Competition We have one direct competitor which is a local team simply because they can easily attract the players we are aiming at. However, I would also say the other surrounding teams are more in-direct competition as we want users of our site to be committed and interested in our team.

6 | P a g e

3,2) Typical User As our site is a university page, the typical ages of users can vary, but for the most part my users will

be male, simply because it is a men’s team. The addition of females later on is a possibility. 18 to 24

is the average age of Aberystwyth University students, however, of course our page will welcome

mature students as well. For those who have also have a passion/played basketball before, the site

will give them the chance to gather information and get to meet what could be there future team

mates.

In regards to a typical user we already have a limited audience in the fact we can only aim at

university students. Our typical user can include a more mature student as well as occasionally we

do get interest but as the same as other students they will have the same access to information.

Another user type to consider will be people who are not very experienced with technology. For

people who fit into that category, I intend to offer a basic site that will be easy to use and all text will

be very visible and the text will be a good size as well.

Regardless of the level of experience of the users, they will all have access to the same features. This

will include registering with the site by using an email address and password format. They will also

be able to view the gallery of pictures that will be aimed to be updated weekly with all the latest

photos going in the album.

In regards to the people running the site, I want the site to be easy to use, one of the reasons why I

have chosen to use WordPress, with the site I want to make sure it is easy to use and that important

information can be edited. But a massive advantage of being a university site is that the majority of

the time our committee/admin will be aged 18 to 24 which means they will have substantial

knowledge of computers. Of course some basic training will be needed to show them how to use the

plugins and how to update them when necessary, but this should not be time-consuming.

I also want my site to be easily accessed via handheld devices. This will mean the site will have to be

mobile friendly and easily viewable on a small screen which can easily be implemented through

WordPress. I also would like their information to be secure so they can purchase goods from the

store.

The questions they will be able to see will include favourite player, favourite food etc. See upcoming games and past New and future players will be able to see when the next scheduled, including tip-off time and the location of the game. On a weekly basis, the page will be updated with the scores of the game with the chance of a small bio of what happened in the game (depending on time). Contact the current president The page will have a simple contact page that will require the user to enter their name and email address as well as the message that will be directed to the current president’s Aberystwyth email address. Also, the site will feature a Facebook icon allowing them access to the group made on Facebook. Sign in/register This will allow users to register their email address (which will be saved into a database) and offer a more personal view of the webpage. If the user needs to register the page will ask for basic information like Aberystwyth email address and a password. This will also show the committee that you have expressed an interest in our team.

Edit details Once registered on the page the interested party will be able to edit their information that they specified earlier. Find out about the team The home page and also meet the team page will have information on the team schedule including training time and a brief history of the team. Scroll through the gallery Everyone will have access to a simple gallery that will allow them to see all the latest pictures involving the team. Purchase items related to the team (t-shirts, bands, kits and membership) Our team currently charges £15.00 to register. Potential new team plyers will be able to digitally download a file that will need printing off and brought to the next session they attend as proof of purchase. Also there will be a fully working shop that will allow you purchase other goods that are related to the team. Update team information With WordPress I will have access to the dashboard that will allow the committee to change certain information regarding the team. For example, if a new player makes the team we will then “interview” them and have their details placed on the site. Update fixtures Because our fixtures change every year this will be a page that will need a lot of “care”. The admin staff will have sole access to this page and will need to keep it up-to-date with locations and times of the games. Update pictures Admins will simply be able to add from their desktop new pictures of the team.

3.4) Related sites I spent some time researching other sites and also checking out other features of these sites to gain

some inspiration in to what I want on my site. I found some good sites but I found the majority of

the sites where bad sites as a recurring issue I have noticed is the sites look “amateurish”.

www.shropshirewarriors.co.uk [1] – an issue I found with this site is how basic it looks. I would not

say this is a good site at all because all of the information seems very compact and looks like the

information was entered in a rush. With WordPress you have an option to select themes, so I intend

to select the right one for my site and offer a very professional site. I also intend to use sites like this

one as an example of ways to not do the site. I will say a feature I do like about the site is that

important information scrolls across the website (see red arrow)

http://www.shropshirewarriors.co.uk/

10 | P a g e

www.newcastle-eagles.com [2] – This site is of a professional team in the BBL (British Basketball

League). I really like this site as it uses its team colours as the background, and all the information is

easy to read and easy to access. I also really like the way they advertise their social media sites

, I think it is noticable but doesn’t take anything away from the site. This is the

sort of template I want to use in regards to my site.

This is similar to what I want on my site, and I find this site has done it very well offering a small

player profile and also an entertaining interview. The reason I want this on my site is because I want

my team mates to really know the people they are playing with.

4) Design

4.1) Web structure

4.1.1) Hierarchy Overview Aberystwyth Men’s Basketball page will have a single navigation bar at the top of every page that will allow users to easily spot and also navigate to other

pages within the site. This main navigation bar will include all the main links which are homepage, upcoming games, meet the team, about, shop, gallery,

basket, and account/login and contact us.

The navigation bar I have chosen to use is a standard graphical [3] one that will have a rollover effect once the user rolls over the image. I have chosen this

one as I think it takes full advantage of the user having to look through the website compared to other navigation bars such as sticky that will follow the

user on the webpage. I see this as a disadvantage as my website is aiming to sell a team and I want my users to intake all the information on each page

As you will be able to see from my Hierarchy table the shop menu will have a sub menu of clothing and accessories and the meet the team will have a sub

menu of player bios. These will all be sub-menus.

12 | P a g e

4.2) Individual Page details I have given each page a unique number that refers to the hierarchy diagram. Each page on the

website delivers different information to the user.

Page ID: 1 Homepage

Page Information: This page will act as the main hub of the page. It will allow users easy access to

other pages through the easily noticeable navigation bar. It will also have quick details such as

upcoming games and also a small sample from the shop.

Page generation: information for upcoming games will be generated from a database. The picture at

the top of the page will be pre uploaded and will remain the same unless changed by an admin in

the future.

Other links: Users will have access to the main navigation bar as well as some links in the footer e.g.

contact us and about (these pages will feature in both the main navigation bar and also the footer).

Every page will be accessible from this page

User interface: The home page will be the first page the users will see. This page is important to the

whole site as it will be static which will mean all the information on meet the team (Page ID 2) will be

displayed on this page as well. I wanted to make the site aesthetically pleasing and especially easy to

navigate with a navigation bar that stands out. I chose this theme because of its simplicity, the

colours are not too harsh on the eyes but the text still stands out and is noticeable. WordPress

allows you to easily use search engine optimisation, I have done this by using key words throughout

my site.

13 | P a g e

Page ID: 2 Meet the team

Information on page: This page will have a selection of names ranging from players to the coaches

involved with the team.

Page generation: The names will be stored in a database



The players and coaches names will be ‘clickable’ which will lead to another page

User interface: This page will be linked with the homepage allowing for a static homepage, so all

information edited here will also be displayed on the first page

Page ID: 2.1 Player Bios

14 | P a g e

Information on page: This page will give the user a detailed/fun interview with the player they have

clicked on from “meet the team”. It will have such information as the name, age, years played and

some funny interview questions.

Page generation: The current season’s player’s information will be stored in a database. The

information will be added backend by an admin and will be edited yearly.



User interface: a simple picture will be used and with the use of a plugin there will be an assortment

of questions and answers.

15 | P a g e

Page ID: 3 Shop

Page information: Will show the available products within the online store.

Page generation: Page is generated by information in the database. Products will be added by an

admin in the backend when they are available, they will include details such as price, title, image and

more.



The shop page will be exclusively used for shop items. The shop will hold all items available and you

will be able to filter the results. I have chosen the same theme as I feel it offers a professional finish

to the site. The shop is a parent page (see image below).

16 | P a g e

Page ID: 3.1 and 3.2 Clothing and accessories

17 | P a g e

Page information: Items that have been categorized will be stored here, for example clothing

products will show in clothes (5.1) and accessories such as wristbands will be shown in accessories

(5.2)

Page generation: Page is generated by information in the database. Products will be added by an

admin in the backend when they are available, they will include details such as price, title, image and

more.



User interface: Both screens use the same theme throughout, I made 2 sub categories (child)

because I feel when the user wants to purchase items they get a more personalised look if they are

only looking at t shirts or accessories, there is an option to add more categories in the future.

Page ID: 4 Upcoming fixtures

Information on page: This page will hold information for upcoming games (source BUCS website) it

will hold information such as; location, time and opponent.

Page Generation: The upcoming games are stored into a database, which will be added at the start

of the season as will be accessible from the Bucs website. This page will retrieve this information and

display it



There will also be an external link on this page to the actual Bucs page.

User interface: This page will be a simple page that will have a large calendar on the page that will

have all important key dates for Aberystwyth Men’s Basketball e.g. Varsity, Super teams and next

18 | P a g e

games. The second image shows what happens when you select a date, a pop up will appear and

the user will be able to see information regarding the game.

Page ID: 5 Galleries

Page information: This page will include some pictures of the team that are taken at certain periods

throughout the season.

Page generation: Images are stored in the wp_posts table with a post_type of “attachment”.

Therefore the galleries will be generated by information stored in the database.



User interface: Same theme used throughout, gallery page will have next to zero text as I feel the

page is self-explanatory, the main point of the page will be all the pictures of the team this includes;

practice and games and any other photos seemed necessary.

19 | P a g e

Page ID: 6 Cart and 6.1 Confirm

Page information: Items that have been added from the shop including clothes and accessories will

be storied here.

Page generation: The shopping bags content is not generated from a database but instead uses the

user’s session to store the information. The items are then displayed till they are removed or by

placing an order



User interface: same theme used as the other pages. Once the item is added to the cart as shown at

the top of the page, it displays a range of options for the cart page including information on the item

you have purchased, a chance to change the quantity purchased, price, and finally a chance to add a

coupon (subject to availability)

20 | P a g e

Page ID: 7 My account/login

inputting an appropriate password and email.

21 | P a g e

Page ID:7.2 Reset password

Page information: User will be asked for their current password, as well as 2 fields (one new

password and confirm password) asking for their new password

User interface: Simple process to retrieve their forgotten password in that the user will just have to

enter the email address they registered with and a new password will be emailed to them

Page ID: 7.3 Login

Page information: similar to register (8.1), the page will display a form asking for the Aberystwyth

University email address and password and then will log the user on.

Page generation: page forms will be created by the database. We will have access so we can

monitor who is interested in the team.



22 | P a g e

4.3) Database structure

4.3.1) Table relationship

4.3.1.1)Wordpress relationship database The database will be a key part of my website for Aberystwyth Men’s Basketball. The database will

hold a lot of key information in the back-end of the site, whilst users will have access to the front

end of the site features. One of the reasons I chose to use WordPress is because during installation it

pre-defines the general database and tables within it

(Source: http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description) [4]

http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description

25 | P a g e

4.3.1.2 Table descriptions wp_options – contains general WordPress options

wp_commentmeta – when a user makes a comment it features information called meta data and it

is stored in this database

wp_comments – when a user leaves a comment it is stored here

wp_links – holds information related to the links entered into the links feature e.g. my site will have

an external link to social media page.

wp_postmeta – each post made on the site will hold meta data, they will be stored here

wp_post – the main data of the posts are stored here. Also pages and navigation menu items are

stored in this table

wp_terms – holds the caterogies for posts, links and tags for posts

wp_term_relationshops – when a post is made on the site, it will be catergorised, this table will

show the relationship

wp_term_taxonomy – This table describes the taxonomy (category, link, or tag) for the entries in the

wp_terms table

wp_usermeta – each user of the site features information called meta data and it is stored here

wp_users – the list of users is stored here

26 | P a g e

4.3.2.1) Woocomerce tables Woocomerce is a separate plug in for Wordpress that transforms your WordPress into a small to

medium sized e-commerce site. I have chosen to use this as it is popular and easy to use and was

also recommend to me. In addition, it really offers the features that I need for my site shop. With

this plug-in I have gained the ability to sell my goods to consumers, whilst it being easy to handle all

the listings and checkout options. As well as this it allows us to manage stocks and quickly change

any pricing. Another reason for the choice was the simplicity of the plugin which really allowed

people who were not confident with computers a chance to easily understand it as everything is well

explained within the plug in.

I had issues in obtaining the actual databases, so I ended up doing some extra research and

discovering that a lot of the tables will be similar so I took these from the example given to us. The

tables are accurate for my own databases and don’t offer much information in regards to the

relationships between them [5]

27 | P a g e

4.3.2.2) Table Descriptions Woocomerce_attribute_taxonomies – stores user defined attributes which are used to create

taxonomies

Woocomerce_termmeta – used for the custom ordering of catergories

Woocomerce_downloadable_product_permissions – stores the users and download permissions

Woocomerce_order_items – ordered items are stored here, makes them easily query able for

reports

Woocomerce_order_itemmeta – ordered item meta is stored in this table

Woocomerce_tax_rates – tax rates are stored inside 2 tables making tax queries simple and efficient

Woocomerce_tax_rate_locations – each rate can be applied to more than one postcode

28 | P a g e

4.4) Early user evaluation As recommended I have chosen 5 people to test out my site, all the people involved have a range of

different skills on a technical level. I wanted to use the typical users I suggested but also expand on

them and allow more people to test my actual content. I have also included myself in the questions

as I want a self-evaluation of the site. The people I selected are:

Marcus – Computer science student (aged 20)

Adam – History student and on current committee (21)

Allen – Warehouse manager/minimal tech knowledge (39)

Sue – Housewife/next to no tech knowledge (36)

Mollie – Law and Politics student/ minimal tech knowledge (20)

Ben – Computer science/site creator (23)

These where selected because of their difference in age and also there knowledge of computers, I

have also selected men and women as I want a balanced view on the interface. I gave each user

access to the template site and asked them 11 questions and then finally to write a short paragraph

of the pros and cons of my site so far. I then also have done a self-evaluation of the site using my old

hierarchy diagram as reference. Rather than write out what every user said about my site I will

summarise what they have said and include all key points of the answers given. The questions I

intend to ask are:

1. Can you access the shop and use the sub menus in the correct way? e.g. precisely look at

accessories

2. Can you easily create an account after purchasing an item? Also are the questions easy to

understand?

3. Is the method of changing your password easy?

4. Do you think it is necessary to have comments enabled on the gallery?

5. Can you purchase an item?

6. Can you delete an item from the cart?

7. Are the team bios easy to understand?

8. Is the calendar the best option for viewing upcoming games? If not would you recommend

another way

9. Do you feel secure using the payment method?

10. Would you include an about page?

11. Write a short paragraph expressing pros and cons of the design.

1. Can you access the shop and use the sub menus in the correct way? E.g. precisely look at

accessories

29 | P a g e

All testers noticed right away how easy it was for them to not just access the shop but also see

the shop, which a lot of credit is due the theme I selected. They also said the use of sub menus

really made their shopping experience feel like other shop related sites. Marcus did also suggest

adding a membership page which I actually intend to implement.

Ben – I find using sub menus is exactly what my site needs because I hope to in the future have a

lot more items in the shop available and also implement the women’s team into my site this

might mean my sub menus will have to have sub menus so they would look like

Shop>Men’s/Women’s>Accessories etc.

2. Can you easily create an account after purchasing an item? Also are the questions easy to

understand?

Sue, Allen and Mollie both found it easy to create an account after purchase and both similarly

said the questions asked are similar to other sites. On the other hand Marcus and Adam both

asked what about users who want to register but not purchase any items?

Ben – I chose the unorthodox way of registering simply because people who will access my site

will be users who know exactly what they are looking for, this is why I believe registering them

after a purchase is better as the main part of my site is to inform.

3. Is the method of changing your password easy?

Once the testers gained access to their account page they all said it is easy to change the

password of their account.

Ben – I used a simple method of sending a new password to their registered email address

4. Do you think it is necessary to have comments enabled on the gallery?

Mixed answers with this question Adam, Marcus and Mollie all said comments are necessary as

it offers the chance for users to interact with the site. Allen and Sue both said they are not

necessary because when people access the gallery page the reason they are going on there is to

look at pictures not write comments

Ben – Personally I like the idea of not having any comments enabled because as stated above

you go onto a gallery page to look at photos and not really write comments, but the idea of

users interacting with my site does intrigue me so this will have to be something I look into in

the future.

5. Can you purchase an item?

All testers had no issues adding an item to the cart and purchasing the item selected. Both Allen

and Mollie stated that the items where easily viewable on all pages thanks to the basket at the

top right of the page

Ben – The cart menu at the top of the page is a personal favourite of my site I find it gives users a

chance to easily track what they have ordered. Thanks to WooComerce the purchasing of items

30 | P a g e

is as simple as adding the item the cart and following the distinctive buttons to the final

checkout page

6. Can you delete an item from the cart?

All testers found it very easy to delete an item, no one had any trouble in locating the item they

had purchased and deleted it

Ben – Plenty of ways to view what you have brought and very simple to delete the required

product, this will be one part of my page I don’t intend to change as I think it’s already very

simple.

7. Are the team bios easy to understand?

3 testers said the method in place of a sub-page with all players on and then being able to click

on their individual names works well because it gives you a unique look into each player. Marcus

and Adam both suggested having another sub-menu that will allow you to select the player from

the menu bar.

Ben – An issue I am finding with this part is that the player bios page looks very bland and even

with the addition of all the players I feel it will still looks bland. I did also consider implementing

another sub menu of all the individual players but I feel that sub menu will heavily dominate the

page and take the users eye away from key information.

8. Is the calendar the best option for viewing upcoming games? If not would you recommend

another way

All testers said that the calendar works fine with the idea of the page, Marcus and Mollie both

liked how to calendar dominated the page as it really drew your eye to the information on the

calendar.

Ben – After seeing the tester’s evaluation I was surprised because I was originally going to use an

event style design rather than an actual calendar.

9. Do you feel secure using the payment method?

All testers had no issues with the payment method simply because of the reputation of PayPal,

they knew there money would be secure well using this method of payment

Ben – I wanted to use PayPal as a method of paying simply because of their reputation, there

logo is easily recognisable as well and really instantly earns the trust of the user.

10. Would you include an about page?

Surprising in that no one thinks the addition of an about page is necessary. They all basically

stated that they think with the Meet the Team page its perfect opportunity to include all

information that could be on the about page on this page instead

Ben – At the start of design I did contemplate using an about page as this is kind of a standard of

a lot of other webpages, but after going through design I noticed that I could easily move the

31 | P a g e

information on the about page to the meet the team page (a page that should be heavily

accessed)

11. Write a short paragraph expressing pros and cons of the design.

Adam – The site design is simple. The colour scheme is not overly exciting but it really works well

with the information on the site. My biggest criticism would be that the site only aims at people

wanted to play for the team and buy items, the idea of only being able to register after

purchasing does not work for me.

Mollie – great colour scheme and the menu is easy to navigate, I also liked the sub menus as this

really gave you a quick look into what you want. I think the home page needs a lot of work done

to it as this is the main page and it seems a little boring at the moment.

Marcus – colour scheme works good, the idea of the information on the side of all the pages

does not work for me because sometimes it can be a little distracting. I also was not a fan of not

being able to register without purchasing something. I think the idea Ben suggested of adding

membership to the shop would work really well for his team and the webpage and will also

make the idea of registering after a purchase more valid

Allen – Great designs and a very simple to use site. All the features Ben suggested seem okay I

think another test would be a good idea after the actual site is created to see if there is anything

else to add

Sue – The site is easy to navigate thanks the menu bar and the cart on all the pages really works

well because it allows you to track your purchases on every page. The colour scheme selected is

average because I feel you should use the University colours rather than an off-white colour.

There is no actual problem with the colour selected because it is not very harsh on the eyes.

I found the evaluation very helpful because it really gives you a deep and in-depth look into the

site. I intend to take all the information gathered and work on the areas people have

recommended. I am also going to look to run 2 separate evaluations after the creation of my

site, the first being with the same people who took part in this evaluation because I want a

second opinion after implementation and secondly 5 more different users because they will be

new to the site and will not have seen the design that means they get more freedom and will be

harsher on criticism.

32 | P a g e

5) Implementation

5.1) Content management system A content management system (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing and

modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface.

Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative

environment.[6]

This said after some research I decided the best system to use would be a content management

system because it would really help with the maintainability in the future of the site, and would

really help with the promoting and selling of products

There were 4 content management systems that I looked into the first being Drupal, the second

being Wix the third one being Weebly and finally Wordpress.com. All of these vary in what they can

do. [7]

Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and

applications. It’s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of people around

the world. [8]

Pros of Drupal:

Drupal architecture is secure and security updates are timely

You can build any website with Drupal. It’s quite adaptable.

Lots of Video trainings available.

Strong search engine optimization capabilities

Cons of Drupal:

Large learning curve, compared with Wordpress

Difficult to Install

Even minor updates can cause major headaches

Wix.com is a leading cloud-based web development platform with millions of users worldwide. We

make it simple for everyone to create a beautiful, professional web presence. No creative limits, no

coding skills needed to get your business online. [9]

Pros of Wix

Wix offers more than 280 beautiful templates customising

Wix has a diverse App Market with premium and free add-ons to your site.

The free version offers you complete access to all of the tools you need to build a successful website

Cons of Wix

Once you choose a template, you're stuck with it.

With a free subscription comes Wix ads and no access to ecommerce tools.

33 | P a g e

Weebly gives millions of people a surprisingly easy and affordable way to create a site that is as

unique as they are. With a Weebly site, people can start their own business, communicate with their

clients, showcase their achievements, and be an authority on personal and professional interests.

reference

Pros of Weebly

Quick and easy to build a website

Good looking templates to make your site professional

Solid e-commerce tools that is fully integrated into the website builder Cons of Weebly

Not designed for complex e-commerce needs

Limited number of designer-calibre templates

Page restrictions for Free and Starter plans

Open source WordPress is the most popular online publishing platform, currently powering more

than 20% of the web. [10]

Pros of Wordpress

Low price

Search engine optimization friendly

It’s simple and well known

Open source Cons of Wordpress

Security is an issue because of it being Opensource

Lack of flexibility

Similarity can be an issue as some sites can look the same due to the limited number of free themes

After much research I decided the best CMS to use would be Wordpress.com, this was because of how simple and well established it is as a brand. Another reason that sold me on using Wordpress was the addition that It allowed you to have multiple users at a time which of course would come in handy when giving rights to other committee member. This meant that I can continue as the main admin of the webpage and each year give new contact details to the new members of the committee. One more reason I chose to use Wordpress was because of its extensive plugin range as a key part of my site is maintainability it has become essential to make sure everything can be used simply without me needing to be there to teach. On the other hand, one of the major concerns for using Wordpress was that it had security issues so with my site I have tried to add as many “small” measures as I can e.g. comments have to be accepted onto the page beforehand.

34 | P a g e

5.2) Ecommerce Plugins As one of the main reasons of the site was to sell items I had to make sure the correct Ecommerce

plugin was chosen. Even before I conducted any research I had already one in mind which I had

heard worked before but felt it still necessary to conduct research in case a better option was

available. The 3 I chose to research more where Woocomerce, WP E-Commerce and Jigoshop.

WooCommerce is the most popular WordPress eCommerce plugin. And it's available for free. Packed

full of features, perfectly integrated into your self-hosted WordPress website. [11]

Pros of Woocomerce

Free

Popular

Easy to maintain

Professional look and feel Cons of Woocomerce

Minimal number of features and extensions

Issue adding password strength to users account

Additional Features at Cost

Lack of other languages The WP eCommerce Plugin is everything you need to sell anywhere! Convert visitors to

customers with a beautiful online store and a secure shopping cart. Powering over 55,696 stores,

WP eCommerce is one of the most relied upon open-source solutions for business owners across the

globe. [12]

Pros of WP E-Commerce

WordPress widget support

Fully customizable using custom HTML and CSS Cons of WP E-Commerce

Poor rating

Poor support

Very basic and the need to customize is essential.

35 | P a g e

Well established e-commerce platform that combines broad functionality, easy migration options

and professional support packages. [13]

Pros of Jigoshop

Multiple shipping methods

Secure and highly customizable

An ever-growing support community

Detailed reports of sales, orders and store performance Cons of Jigoshop

Very similar to Woocomerce When considering which E-commerce to use even from the beginning Woocomerce was the winner simply because of its reputation and the fact it had been recommended to me but a close second was Jigoshop simply because of its similarity to Woocomerce but I discovered Woocomerce had more extra features. They key things that stood out to me when choosing Woocomerce was the support it had with the plugin and how flexible the plugin could be by allowing users to simply view, edit and remove products. Two of the biggest concerns with Woocomerce was its issue with adding a strength bar to its password this meant that I would have to make sure the passwords thatr are chosen are as secure as they can be and secondly the fact Woocomerce only supports limited languages could be an issue in the future but for now it was resolved simply because the team is based solely where GBP are used.

36 | P a g e

5.3) Theme The main points of my site was to inform and promote the team, as I did research early on I found a

lot of other basketball related sites “boring” with these themes and this made me want to pick a

theme that was aesthetically pleasing also was simple and easy enough to navigate. I ended up

narrowing it down to 3 potential themes that I thought worked well.

Padhang

My issues with this theme that made me decide against using it was the colour scheme it was too

dark and mysterious for what I was going for and personally the white background on the black did

not work well for making the information stand out.

37 | P a g e

Twenty 10

My issue with this film was the opposite of the other. In the fact I thought the theme was boring and

did not really sell the idea of the team just from the preview.

Mystile – The theme chosen

This theme was chosen because of how well it would work with Woocomerce as it was a Wootheme.

The colour scheme I thought was simple but not harsh on the eye that it made you squint and the

location of the navigation bar was another selling point because of how easy and accessible it

looked.

38 | P a g e

5.4) Plugins used

5.4.1) Akismet

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet Web service to see if they look like spam or not

and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog's "Comments" admin screen.

Major features in Akismet include:

Automatically checks all comments and filters out the ones that look like spam.

Each comment has a status history, so you can easily see which comments were caught or cleared by

Akismet and which were spammed or unspammed by a moderator.

URLs are shown in the comment body to reveal hidden or misleading links.

Moderators can see the number of approved comments for each user.

A discard feature that outright blocks the worst spam, saving you disk space and speeding up your

site. [14]

5.4.2) ATWI Interviewer A simple plugin that aids to create a post with the style of a Q&A interview. You can create blocks of

question and answer with text colour, font weight and text align configurable in the option page.

[15]

5.4.3) Photo Gallery Photo Gallery is an advanced plugin with a list of tools and options for adding and editing images for

different views. It is fully responsive. The product includes plugin for adding image galleries and

albums to posts and pages, as well as multiple widgets. You can add images, providing detailed

descriptions and tags, organize the galleries into different albums.

The plugin allows displaying galleries/albums within the following views:

Thumbnails gallery view

Masonry gallery view for multi-size thumbnails (commercial version)

Mosaic gallery view (commercial version)

Slideshow

Image Browser for single image display with a possibility of switching between images

Compact Album view

Masonry Album view (commercial version)

Extended Album view for displaying albums with descriptions

Blog Style gallery view (commercial version) [16]

I used this plugin for simply adding pictures that could be easily viewed from an external screen

39 | P a g e

5.4.4) Spider event calendar Spider Event Calendar is a highly configurable plugin which allows you to have multiple organized

events in a calendar. This plugin is one of the best WordPress Calendars available in the WordPress

Directory.

This plugin was used to have a calendar displayed on the site that the users could click on and view

past and future games including information about the game e.g. score or short bio of what

happened in the game [17]

5.5) Plugins nearly used

5.5.1) Team rosters vs ATWI Interview The MSTW Team Rosters plugin manages rosters for multiple teams. It provides roster tables with

built-in formats for high school, college, and professional teams as well as custom roster formats for

baseball. [18]

I originally tried to change the plugin slightly by using only specific questions that sounded more

neutral rather than baseball questions, but the issue didn’t change as all the questions where related

to baseball. This plugin probably would have worked better than the ATWI interview simply because

it would have been much easier to maintain but the questions couldn’t be changed which meant I

had to use another plugin completely.

5.5.2) BuddyPress vs Custom Facebook Feed vs Icon BuddyPress - BuddyPress is a suite of components that are common to a typical social network, and

allows for great add-on features through WordPress's extensive plugin system. [19]

Custom Facebook Feed - Display a completely customizable, responsive and search engine

crawlable version of your Facebook feed on your website. Completely match the look and feel of the

site with tons of customization options! [20]

My original plan was to use a plugin to help promote our Facebook group on the site which would

have been perfect for a plugin like BuddyPress. However, a problem that I noticed, was our group

settings on the Facebook group were too strict to stop spam profiles in getting into the group which

made displaying information on the site difficult. I overcame this by simply inserting the Facebook

logo with a link to the group that will then allow users to request to join the group.

40 | P a g e

6) Testing and evaluation

6.1) Testing I recently conducted some test to make sure certain aspects of my site were working correctly the

tests where essential because I had to make sure my site was ready to be used by the public. The

results can be found below:

1. Can a user return to the home page from other pages?

Pass – The user has access to a few ways to return to the home page these include clicking

Aberystwyth basketball, home page or meet the team (as the home page is a static page)

2. Can two items be added to the cart and the final sum change?

Pass – After adding a second item the cart amount will adjust. First picture shows a balance of

£35.00 for 1 item well the second shows the balance of £42.00 after a second item is added

41 | P a g e

3. Can a user register without a valid email address

Pass – A message is displayed asking the user to input a valid email address

4. Can a user contact the President without entering the correct information on the contact us

page?

Pass – A message is displayed informing them of the error

42 | P a g e

5. Can a comment be added to the appropriate page?

Pass – Yes they can after being approved by the admin (a security protocol I put in place to

prevent spam)

6. Does the sort by button work?

Pass – the sort by will make the appropriate changes

43 | P a g e

7. Can nothing be added to the cart?

Pass – A message is displayed saying “value must be greater than or equal to 1”

8. Can a user create an account with an invalid email address?

Fail – I checked to make sure the email address was invalid and the site still went on to create an

account for the email address

44 | P a g e

Stronly Agree Agree

Disagree Strongly Disagree

6.2) Evaluation For the final evaluation I made sure to ask 3 of the original evaluators back as I wanted them to see

the changes I had made and be critical where necessary. Also, the fact that they had seen the site

beforehand I think would really help me if any major changes needed to be made. The last 3 I asked

were 3 brand new people who had not seen the site before. All users where asked the same

questions. The users were:

Marcus – Computer science student (aged 20)

Adam – History student and on current committee (21)

Sue – Housewife/next to no tech knowledge (36)

Luke – Law Student (31)

Jan – Coach of team (age unknown)

Kristian – International politics student and on the current committee (22)

I asked them all to perform a range of tasks on my site on their own within a 10 minute time limit.

The tasks where:

1. Create an account

2. Add 1 item to the cart and procedde to checkout

3. Add 2+ items to the cart and procede to the checkout

4. Delete an item from the cart

5. Leave a comment on a page (task I had to be involved in to allow the comments)

6. Flick through Gallery pictures

7. Click on May 17th in Upcoming fixtures and write down the information displayed

Once all tasked had been completed I asked each user another set of questions and asked them to

respond appropriately. I also gave them the option to add any extra comments if they felt necessary

1. Is the site easy to navigate?

Sue – The way to log out was OK but needed

another way to log out as going through all the pages became a bit of a hassle

6. Can you easily add a comment?

Strongly Agree 3

will allow the user to be redirected to the Facebook group associated with the group:

61 | P a g e

8) Critical Analysis Overall I am happy with my project. I was given a brief and I really feel that I met all of the

requirements. The chance to create a working e-commerce site was exciting but also challenging.

This opportunity has ultimately given me the chance to create a site that can easily help other

committee members for the future and really lower the work load. This will allow them to

concentrate on their studies whilst also providing sufficient time to the society.

I think my business analysis section was very strong and it really gave me a good stand point for my

site. It enabled me to imagine the site before it was created and also allowed me to think about who

will benefit from the site and how to maximise their experience on the site. I thought that my rich

picture was strong really giving a good view into the stakeholders, the breakdown of them allowed

me to think further about other stakeholders and once the information was on the page I found the

other information just fell in place. I made some serious changes to my typical users as I had initially

written them without talking about what the users can do. My use case also needed changing as I

originally designed it with what pages I had planned in mind, I made the adjustment and made it

more about what the users will be able to do on the site. I found my use case section difficult as use

case diagrams have never been something I excelled in, but I overcame this on this report by

drawing them on paper beforehand and re-wording them to sound more like what the users can do.

The research I did really helped me plan out what I expected from my site, it gave me the chance to

take the advantages and disadvantages of other basketball related sites.

In the design phase, I found it extremely difficult to effectively draw the rough the plans for my site.

Due to the fact that I lack the ability to confidently use a drawing software, I ended up designed a

very rough template on Wordpress itself. This for me, worked best because it gave me a chance to

play about with Wordpress and also was easy to edit when I needed to. One of the major reasons I

think my site is a success is my early user evaluation I think it was very detailed as I tried to cover as

much as possible with what little site I had, with their feedback it really gave me an insight into what

needed to be changed and what could work really well, this also applies for the later evaluation

except a lot that helped me was that I used 3 of the same people who really gave good constructive

criticism.

The database section of the site I found difficult paperwork wise, on the site it was easy as

Wordpress is in charge of all that, I struggled to find the databases for Woocomerce as I could not

access them and in the end I had to use another person’s image and discuss the similarities. The

Wordpress databases were not as bad as they were default and not much work was needed to

actually access them.

I was very happy with my content management system but of course I would notmind going back

and trying out another as well. I found Wordpress easy to install once I had a host, as well the

dashboard is very simple to use and everything is well explained it just takes some times getting

used to what things will do to your site so it became important to preview the changes before

publishing the work. As maintainability is a massive part of my site I had to make sure all features of

the site were easy to use which was easy with Wordpress, of course this meant I had to make sure

the plugins I used were the best for required job which took some extra research but overall I think

all my plugins will be easy to use for people who are not confident with computers

62 | P a g e

If I was given more time to complete the project, I would have liked to make the site more detailed.

This could have been done in two ways; the first being a site that would be dedicated to all teams in

Aberystwyth. This would have meant a lot of data would have been needed to make the site a

success as well as a lot of security features as a lot of committee members would have access to the

site compared to the 4 that will have access now. The second route would have been a site devoted

to just basketball teams in Aberystwyth. This would include local team and the girls’ team, with this

I would have explored more features allowing basketball-related news on the site and a key feature

would have to be the tidiness of the site.

I would definitely use Wordpress again, but also would not mind testing out other features of other

content management systems. I do think that a content management system is the best way to go

for building a site for novice and also experts I think the features involved will easily cut working

time for anyone.
