Low-fi Prototyping Review
• Low-fi testing allows us to quickly iterate to …– get feedback from users & change right away
• Informal prototyping tools bridge the gap between …– paper & high-fi tools
• Low-fi & informal prototypes keep focus on …. and not on ….– high level structure & interaction
and not on visual detail

Web Design Process
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 48
Patterns in Exploration Phase
• Use Exploration-level patterns to design overall structure– different choices will give radically
different designs
• For example, how to organize information– HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATION (B3)– TASK-BASED ORGANIZATION (B4)– ALHABETICAL ORGANIZATION (B5)– …
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 49
Patterns in Exploration Phase
TASK-BASED ORGANIZATION (B4): Link the completion of one group of tasks to the beginning of the next related task(s)
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 50
Design Exploration Example
• John given the task of designing a new subsite for showing maps to businesses– listings found by typing in address– key feature: show nearby businesses
• John comes up with two design sketches– Design #1 uses ALPHABETICAL ORGANIZATION
(B5) for list of all nearby businesses– Design #2 uses TASK-BASED ORGANIZATION
(B4) for list of related nearby businesses
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 51
Design #1ALPHABETICAL ORGANIZATION (B5)
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 52
Design #2TASK-BASED ORGANIZATION (B4)
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 53
Evaluating Which Design to Choose
• Low-fidelity Usability Test– sketches the rest of the key screens on paper– brings in 5 participants to his office– asks each to carry out 3 tasks while John’s colleague
Sam “plays computer”– John observes how they perform
• Tasks1) look up 1645 Solano Ave., Berkeley CA2) look up 1700 California Ave, San Francisco CA & find
Tadich Grill3) look up 2106 N 55th St, Seattle WA & find a Sushi
restaurant nearby
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 54
Evaluating Which Design to Choose
• Results with Design #1 (Alphabetical)– Task 1: look up 1645 Solano Ave
• no difficulties encountered – warm-up task!
– Task 2: look up 1700 California & find Tadich Grill• several users didn’t notice that the list of nearby businesses
was scrollable (due to paper affordances?)• those that scrolled took awhile to find in list of over 500
– Task 3: look up 2106 55th St & find nearby Sushi restaurant
• 3 users only picked restaurants that had “restaurant” in the name & thus couldn’t find “Kisaku”
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 55
Evaluating Which Design to Choose
• Results with Design #2 (Task-based)– Task 1: look up 1645 Solano Ave
• no difficulties encountered – warm-up task!
– Task 2: look up 1700 California & find Tadich Grill• 1 user took awhile to figure out that Tadich Grill was a
restaurant & to click on the “Restaurants” link• all others found it in 2 clicks (RestaurantsTadich Grill)
– Task 3: look up 2106 55th St & find nearby Sushi restaurant
• 3 found “Kisaku” in 2 clicks• 2 others asked for a listing of Japanese restaurants
CSE490L - Spring 2008 Web Interface Design, Prototyping, and Implementation 56
Evaluating Which Design to Choose
• General comments– 2 users said they often want to email maps to
friends who they will be meeting (task-based)– 3 users wanted driving directions (task-based)
→ TASK-BASED ORGANIZATION (B4) worked better, but still had some minor problems

Summary
• Lots of issues involved in designing high quality web sites
• Design patterns one way of capturing good design knowledge so that designers can focus on unique problems
• Glance through the book and apply these to your designs where appropriate
