Also implemented was a DJ forum, in which all of WEHR s staff could post news topics and discussion topics. This forum was constructed with PHP, using mySQL to create and store the discussion database. This is now linked off of the main page as well. Usability testing proved our earlier claim that our design would be simple. Color schemes were easily seen, with a high contrast factor for those who cannot see that well.
Text is of a legible size and color, at all times.
A little bit of rolling banners and rollover images compliment the college radio nature of the site, but they do not detract from the professionalism of the site. A professional testing group was also hired by the client to test the site, and the site was given a 3.8 out of 4.0 on the group s scale. The site, now complete, sits on Penn State University s Center for Academic Computing club web server, clubs.psu.edu. The web site has also been sent to 26 search engines, including Lycos, AltaVista, HotBot, and Google. A banner advertisement is being created by the client, and is in progress.
