RP - Artefact 1

For my first artefact, unsure of where I was going with this, I created a short questionnaire, consisting of 10 questions, based on my Research Project title. I then asked as many people as possible to complete the survey, providing me with the most results as possible. However, the number of results received has been disappointing. I posted the survey on Facebook and on several online forums, but received very few results.

Anyway, I can't wait forever on a few results.

Why a survey?
  • To act as a starting point which will enable me to progress with responsive design.
  • I’d like to see whether people view the same site across different platforms (i.e. desktop, tablet, mobile)…
  • ASSUMPTION: the majority of people view certain sites depending on the device used – because the user experience is better on one device than another.
  • Since my topic concerns responsive design and digital marketing, it would also be interesting to see whether people buy online using a responsive site on their mobile phone, or whether they’d use a native app.

Questions asked

1. Do you believe using Responsive Web Design is worth it?
2. How many different devices do you access the internet from?
3. How often do you buy products online?
4. Which platform do you typically use to buy from the internet?
5. Have you ever bought a product online using a mobile device? i.e. a tablet or mobile?
    If not, is there a reason why?
6. Is there a typical site you’d use across all 3 platforms? If yes, what?
7. If no, please specify why? Is it down to insufficient User Experience?
8. How would you react if you viewed a non-mobilised website on a mobile device?
9. Are there any websites which have an App as well as a mobile site that you have preference on which you use?
10. If yes, Can you give an example of the website?

Results will be posted shortly
