Website Research With A Focus Group

We conducted a focus group with around 20 teenage Media Studies students to discover what they linked and disliked about film websites. All the answers are listed below, with common issues highlighted.


The most annoying things about websites
- Disconnected hyperlink
- Spelling and grammar mistakes
- Poor/ confusing layout
- Not user friendly, can’t find what you’re looking for
- Too many adverts
- Too many clashing colours
- Pop ups
- Having to scroll horizontally
- The use of ‘Comic Sans’ font
- Unnecessary noise

Brilliant things about websites
- Clear layout and design
- Straightforward links
- Everything you need before the jump
- Quick action and reaction
- Extra information

We found there were more 'pet hates' about websites than positive feedback, so we have to make sure our website sucessfully meets the 'Billiant' criteria listed above or our target website user will disaprove of our website!
