A little bit of help with an assignment.....

Dartz

Hello.

I'm currently doing a graduate diploma course out at DCU, and part of this course is a module on webdesign. One of the assignments I have to do involves analysing a popular commercial website, and suggesting design problems. One thing we're also required to do is a little bit of research, to see how others use the website.

I chose to do it based on amazon.co.uk

Problem is, I'm not quite sure how to do this, and I'm not quite sure what exactly to ask, or who for that matter. Most people I know personally aren't suitable... parents and family aren't net-savvy at all.

So I was thinking, where can I find a group of reasonably internet-knowledgeable folks? Where else but a large forum with decent levels of activity, and a good range of users?

Anyway, intrepidly, I decided to post it here, in the hopes that a few of you would be good and kind enough to help me with this. I want to just leave it overnight, because I plan to start writing this report tomorrow.

Anyway, if you could take a minute or two to take a look at this... there's only ten questions or so, and it'd really help me a great deal. I personally promise to 'thank' each and every response.

If you're into that sort of thing.

I really need a good cross section of people, and where better to get 'em?

Don't quite know how. And I thought it'd be something a little bit different, rather than a hundred surveymaker websites sent to family and friends.
