Critically reviewed your website comparing it to other websites that offer similar services. Take into account both positive and negative factors in the website. Be realistic about your own abilities compared to professional web design companies.
Now it’s time to reflect on the process and look at other HCI developments.
Create a report (in any form you want) that looks at recent HCI developments and how they are used. So look at mobile webs and how they differ from their large screened PC cousins. What are the significant differences and how and why have they come about?
How would you develop a website that could work on mobile and full screen or are they separate, discuss this concept and give example?
