Videos- 64%
Behind-the-scenes footage- 60%
Info on characters- 56%
Links to episode catch-up- 56%
These are the most popular choices for Question One. Therefore, all of these options should be used on our website, to ensure our audience will like it.
These results show that people are more interested in watching video clips or full episodes of the programme than anything else. They are also interested in finding out more about the show by watching behind-the-scenes footage and learning more about characters.
2. Why do you visit websites for television programmes?
To watch episodes of the programme- 64%
To find out more about the programme- 44%
These are the two most popular choices for Question Two. This backs up the results from Question One, showing that people are, in fact, highly interested in watching episodes of the programme on-line and finding more about the programme.
Surprisingly, only 8% of people are interested in user involvement and social networking. This is also shown in Question One where less than a quarter of people said they were interested in links to Facebook and Twitter.
3. Visit The Inbetweeners website. What do you like about it?
'The colour scheme is good but not too overpowering with good use of fonts that are correct in size,clear and precise. The content links feel intuitive so the site feels natural to use.'
'The website has large and bright pictures. And is easy to navigate around.'
'Its has a lot of videos of and about the program'
'Easy access to all the areas you might want to view to do with the show. Very simple. I like the comment section'
'I like the recurring background on the website, and the various videos that are on there including the 'top ten' moments, and that there are lots of links to go on at the side menu.'
'Easy to navigate allowing the viewer to find a episode quickly and easy catch up.'
4. What do you dislike about the Inbetweeners website?
'I would like to see a link to a forum on the front page and also an episode guide so i can instantly see series episode names and a quick overview of that episode. the site should have clear social media links. Nothing on the site feels that it is any natural order although all the links are clear they feel thrust onto the home page without much thought.'
'Too many spaces that could have been filled with more information.'
'The colour scheme for the "Stuff happening now..." could be unreadable to people with eyesight difficulties. There is not a lot of information about the show jumping out at the top of the page. They are assuming people already know about the show, as an advertising technique to try and get a wider audience it falls short in explaining the set up of the show. The layout is very uninspiring, this is true of most of the E4 website, three columns with the bulk of the relevant information in the center, this means the user has to scroll down a lot and makes the page seem a lot more full than it is, this can turn people off thinking that they don't want to spend ages looking for the information they require. It also takes a while to find the navigation menu for other areas to do with the show. compared to the BBC's Top Gear site (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj59) it is easy to see the flaws. Here all the the navigation to find out more information is across the top meaning a wider area for them to place the core details, this means images are wider drawing your eye to the page, also with the neutral colour scheme it makes the whole site easy to read and follow. there is more information on the front page but because of the layout it seems less cluttered and easier to read.'
'I don't like that the layout is just a simple list to various links.'
'Not much information about what the sitcom is about'
'The main page looks crowded and busy. There's lots of text and links all over the homepage. The main navigation bar at the side doesn't stand out and gets lost in the rest of the content.'
'too packed needs to be spaced out'
'that it shows clips from the show as well as information and funny things such as the "where you worse that this" link near the bottom.'
The comments made my the participants of the survey have told me a lot about what they want from a website. For example:
'I would like to see a link to a forum on the front page and also an episode guide so i can instantly see series episode names and a quick overview of that episode. the site should have clear social media links. Nothing on the site feels that it is any natural order although all the links are clear they feel thrust onto the home page without much thought.'
