If you are working on a Web site as a project, now is the time to create a paper prototype. You and your team have discussed options for visual organization and navigation. Create a prototype of the home page. You will also want to prototype at least one first-level page. The number of pages that you prototype will depend on the types of testing you will do. Consult your usability specifications. What measures are important? What parts of the Web site are related to each measure?

What will be an ideal response?


A good paper prototype
a. Is made from paper. If it models a site that is not already in existence, the prototype should be handwritten. If the site already exists, it’s okay if they take screen shots and convert them into a paper prototype.
b. Is legible.
c. Clearly designates hypertext links.
d. Models all of the interactive elements of the Web site. Check for scroll bars, dropdown menus, scrolling lists.
e. Is consistent with the choices made in previous exercises with respect to content organization, visual organization and navigation
f. Is complete enough that it can support testing to measure usability specifications. If students state that one of the usability specifications is “User can fill out an order from in 5 minutes,” then the transaction page should be prototyped
The following is a possible grading sheet. Modify to suit:
5 4 3 2 1 Legible
5 4 3 2 1 Clearly designates hypertext links
5 4 3 2 1 Models all interactive elements of
5 4 3 2 1 Web page Consistent with content organization
5 4 3 2 1 findings Visual organization consistent with
5 4 3 2 1 content organization. Consistent with previous navigation
5 4 3 2 1 decisions Supports usability specifications
