Revised Interfaces Based on HE

After analyzing the hueristic evaluation report we've been received by our associate group, we've realized that still there are certain areas to be concerned with. Eventually we created our final implemented web portal by fixing those issues.

Prototype
Screen
Name of Heuristic
Reason for negative feedback / breakdown
Scope
Severity
(High/ Medium/ Low) and Justification for giving it that rating
Way(s) to rectify and any Tradeoffs (i.e., why the fix might not work)
Action taken and Justification
(to by filled in later by the person who created the system being evaluated)
1
Consistency and standards
The user misunderstands the icon as a link redirecting to another page.
In the Home page
Medium
The icon can be removed or can be change to another icon
We removed the symbol like stated here and now it doesn’t exist anymore.
2
Visibility of system status
The user can’t clearly identify the Home page of the web site because of the small welcome message.
In the Home page
Medium
Make the welcome message highlighted by changing the font sizes and colors 
As mentioned we changed the welcome message in to a more visible font size using two color combinations.
3
Consistency
Inconsistent placement of “Search Icon” It is not efficient to have the search icon on the left side of the search bar.
Every page of the web site
Medium
Change the search icon position to the right side of the search bar
Instead of having the search icon at the right hand side, we added a go symbol at the right hand of the search bar.

Flexibility and efficiency of use
Text colors are not clearly visible to the user
In Contact us page
Medium
Make text colors different than the background colors
We added a color which is not similar to the background color in the contact page
5
See Picture 5
Flexibility and efficiency of use
Color combination is not good enough. It disturbs the user interaction with the web site.
In the Home Page
Medium
Use simple, attractive and matching colors
Instead of having different colors in the home page, we just limited that in to ocean blue and white colors.
