My Finished Website: UX

My website is compete and live! 

Using Wix l have created my online portfolio and am now ready to enter into the world of work...

But of course, my opinion on my website doesn't matter, it's my audiences, as they are the ones that are going to be judging it, viewing and interacting with it. So l conducted a short amount of UX research, sending my portfolio to my friends and family without any context just to have a look!

The feedback l got was insightful, whereas l thought my website was complete, l was informed that when you look at my website through a phone view, the footer at the bottom of the page was disproportionate to the rest of my website. Looking at my website on a phone isn't something I'd thought to do throughout this process, and of course this is one of the main sources of traffic, people using their phones to access my website. So l tried to fix the problem, however the issue on the homepage is to do with the aspect and layout of the rest of the page and is something that evensong Wix's Codex, l can't seem to fix. I will continue to try to fix this issue as it makes my website look unprofessional.

The rest of my user experience feedback was positive, people measured me how they understood the main purpose of the website and liked the content that was on there. I even received some feedback from some very eagle eyed peers about literary mistakes! This helped me to improve the mistakes and make simple adjustments to fix the issues.

Conducting user testing also allowed me to explain my reasoning for doing things, such as the screenshot below shows criticism for speaking in third person, however this is something l found in my research and l liked the appearance of it, as it allows people to read about me and not just from my point of view.
