Abstract
It is generally accepted that the aesthetics, functionality, easy navigation, ergonomics and short loading time are some of the key features of any system. Of course these features are often in conflict, like an impressive system with many images requires a longer loading time. Therefore, when an evaluation system is designing, you should seek the optimal balance, depending on the target audience of the website addressed by the amount of information that includes the general style (George et al 1999).However first of all it is important to establish the purpose of the creation of this system. As part of this thesis is to create an electronic media and multimedia evaluation system for example(video games and other like websites) depend on specific features(heuristics).It is very important to create such a system because is called to serve specific needs such as:
1) To give the possibility to users to list comments and impressions in evaluative type, for websites and online games which either have visited or have been involved?
2) To have the ability to refer back to the site and notice the reviews and evaluations concerning a specific game or a website.
3) To have the ability of access to reviews easily and quickly by creating an account (be a member), where the critics that will observe will be free.
4) To have the ability observing existing reviews, to create his own review, or, to express his own opinion at the existing reviews.
The evaluation system called HepSystem has created after an extensive research at reviews of existing platforms and several evaluators forum on the internet concerning links reviews(system) and electronic toys and comments that are identified through social media and modern communication methods. The major goal of this system is to satisfy the optimum most of the massive needs of the people were being involved.
Concerning the issue of usability of the system, after assessment made through a special website by highly experienced, users gave answers to specific questions, and after the necessary feedback that was drawn from the answers of respondents, were repeated the steps of design, and improved in this way, the existing system.
The design of the HepSystem in its entirety, showed that if is designed a handy, yet productive in terms of performance evaluation system, can provide experience to users who observing the reviews. They will be also able to manage information and enrich their potential reduced information in the fields of their searches. At the same time will be satisfied by the number of reviews and will be able to express their views on the matter. Additionally it was felt that this opportunity offered to them the freedom to express their own opinions without watertight and stereotypes (eg word limits). Participants felt that the whole process was quite pleasant and enjoyable along with the positive information they had.
