Hello everyone!!!
I used a site called smartsurvey to create a quick survey which I then sent out to as many people as possible to fill out and have them look at our website and give their feedback on it!!
Here is what the survey I created looked like:
Here are the responses we received:
- First Question: "What Genre of music did you associate with our website?" Majority of people associated our website with the genre of ''Modern pop.' (87.50%) Surprisingly different than what we expected which would be a high percentage in the 'Dark pop' section (12.50%) However, for this question it was multiple choice which I deliberately set as so because there is always a mix of genres in music and so we understood how modern and relevant our artist 'Adriana' was so we were very much happy with the result of the first question.
- Second Question: "What is your age range?" All of the people who answered our survey were in the age bracket "11-20" Which is exactly the scope of our target audience so we were very pleased. I would have prefered having some responses from the older age ranges but it is understandable as most people are busy with work, family etc and the youth of today have more free time (I wish I could say the same about myself haha)
- Third Question:"Do you personally like the Website?" Only one person said No. I am actually glad that I decided to put in this question because at the end of the day the website is for the fans and having honest opinions is always a sign of further growth. So to know that some people may not like it is also an important factor compared to the 99% that do.
- Fourth Question: "What part of the website grabbed your attention the most?". The responses to the question actually surprised me! I expected people to notice more the Merch pages and the gallery as I felt that provided a much more personal and interactive approach. However, 50% claimed it was the Album purchase/preview 37.50% the BTS Video I edited (yay) and 12.50% Tour/Ticket purchase. NO ONE LIKED MY MERCH (I'm going to sit in a corner and cry now I was really proud of my design skills haha. joking just in case some of you dont get it :') ) Yet aain really happy with the responses at it is a music artist website being able to have people interested in the music, album etc is most important!
- Fifth Question: "What are your opinions about the website?" oh. no. the open ended question!! noooooooooo!!!! HAHA I made this compulsory to answer because you can only get so much from data and I wanted to hear the TRUTH...... and that's exactly what i got haha. never again. hehe Well, anyways what surprised me the most was the first response. It made me rethink my life decisions because I picked English Literature A level yet somehow I still don't know how to cpell (haha do you get it? no? it's Spell. I apologise for the inconvenience caused with my lame puns ANYWAY-). I didn't go over the articles or even the homepage when I sent it for review (hits head in shame) Of Course that was fixed IMMEDIATELY. Overall everyone was really positive in their responses at you can see above. (Someone called it simplistic which I will take to my grave.
- Maybe I shouldn't have made it anonymous because now I wanna find the person because I just wanna TALK.*triggered*) Honestly, I have seen other students websites (out of curiosity lol) and I know how different ours looks in comparison HOWEVER. from my research (And planning because you know.. the title i-) people go to a music artists website for the MUSIC because that's what we're trying to sell and that is what's important and should be focused on and what I did. so. mission succeded. and nO. That wasn't an indirect to that response. I'm not triggered I jus-
- Last Question: "Did you like the BTS video on the website?" OBVIOUSLY, this question was put together by me. (I need to know man not only for Adriana but for my wellbeing in life haha)Responses varied which was good Overall it was positive (Which is all I care abo-)and only ONE person decided to leave a further comment (thank you kind samaritan) I actually agreed with their suggestion to have more of a preview however the video is a BTS so obviously no the music video will facilitate that and since this is only a PROJECT for A2 Media Studies(I did clarify that when asking for feeback:3) Adriana can't sing (not that I know of, should've probably aske-) so obviously that's out of the equation lip sync ftw.
What I learned:
Never ask for feedback again because the truth HURTS. and also drop A level english becauseafteralltheseyears Istillcantproofrea-
Ahem.
I really learnt a lot more about meeting the needs of a target audience and being able to understand the fundamentals of getting feedback. In the end, I and Seher will be meeting again soon to discuss the results to these questions and any improvements to the website that we believe need to be done.(First of all we will need an editor because my english is-)
Thanks for much for reading this post and I hope you all look forward to the end result!!! :)
I did not only get survey respones but verbal too and here is a video of an interview i did (she mentioned the merch!!! yay)
