The users of our website, "Noe's Construction", will be individuals who are looking to have different construction and contracting work done for them. This work includes; new construction, remodel, custom woodwork (trim, staircases, pergolas, and decks), and cabinet installation.
The age of our users will probably be between the 25-55 range. This is a large range because our clients are diverse in the work that they do. We will have to meet the challenge of having our website to appeal to different generations of users. The users of our website will be looking for a reliable and effective contractor to spend a good sum of money on. Therefore we need to design our website in a way that shows the craftsmanship and efficiency of Noe's Construction.
People will visit our website when they are looking to have contracting work done for them. These users will probably have in mind what they want their finished project to look like and how much they are willing to spend to achieve this. They probably won't know the cost of materials or the amount of labor hours that will be required to accomplish a certain job. Our users will also more than likely not know how each job is done or the steps that must be taken to complete it. We will need to speak to our client at Noe's Construction in order to determine how much of this information is possible to put on the website. Because each job is different, providing accurate estimates online is difficult for our client.
I think you hit the demographic age right on the head. That's what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteTroy--Excellent knowledge of who your audience is. Please be sure to review your team members' blog posts, too, to see if there's anything else to add to what you have. If so, please add that information here. You have ideas about what questions these user bases will likely ask. Think about usability testing in some capacity throughout your building.
