Designing for the User Week 10
Reflecting back on this assignment I am pleased with the look of the site and my user feedback. However I would have added a video if I was my confident in using flash. However I have added two screenshots that are linked to videos on You Tube which are about the dales. So this shows what I would have done if I was more confident in using flash. Overall my site works and does the job it is intended for which is to promote guided walks in the Yorkshire Dales for people aged 60+.

Designing for the User Week 10
I searched on the internet for links for Richmond, Leyburn, Ingleton, Clapham and Skipton because these where the links that didn't work. I managed to find websites that had walks and links I could add to the map. Once this was done my site was finished and I just had to upload my site.

The homepage, etc were set out very clearly and the adjacent links could be accessed with no problem.
The site contained all the information you would require if you were planning a walking holiday or days out walking in the Dales
I had difficulty accessing some of the links which described the walks in detail. These were namely Leyburn, Ingleton, Richmond, Clapham, Skipton.
I had no problems reading this website. The background was light so the text could be read clearly
David Fisher
Q1 Yes
Q2 Yes
Q3 It was informative and it was clearly marked to show us where to go on the site.
Q4 The links took a while to work and go to the relevant page.
Q5 No. We both needed our glasses to read the text.

Conclusion
What I've noticed from peoples feedback is the site works apart from one or two links that don't work so I need to get them altered and find links that do work.
