This week we started thinking about and discussing what it take to design our site. We learned a lot of different information including that the average person spends less than 5 seconds on your site before they judge if they are going to stay or leave. This is a very critical time, and we need to make sure that the site looks professional, welcoming, and accessible.
Another thing we discussed this week was implementing PayPal into our site. We had a chance to use a website to create a button for our website. There were several different buttons to choose from, each of which would fit into a different business model.
I am going for a manufacturer business model, and so I found it very easy to pick a button. I feel that an add to cart button would be best for my scenario. This allows the customer to add the item, and select other items if they choose before "checking out". The could also use a Buy Now button, but I feel that, that comes off a bit too forward for my liking.
This week really reminded me of my past classes and understanding of design and user-interface. It feels a bit like a culmination of a lot of my previous classes, and the principles and theories I have learned from them.
