Project Brief

This project is a culmination of my research and documentation skills. This project is documented in a presentation format with the option of downloading the PDF file at the end of the presentation.

In this project, I researched eBay's background, its competition with Amazon, why people aren't using eBay as often anymore, and the heuristic analysis of the website. I also researched eBay's website usability directly with 3 users of different ages and backgrounds, the results are shared towards the end of the presentation.

Reflections

This project helped me realize how much I enjoy researching, problem solving, and sharing my results. As mentioned in the About Me page, I'm a curious person that enjoys picking people's brains, getting to the core of the problem, and understanding everything from the bigger picture to the smaller details. The biggest bump in the road for me was looking for people for testing, this was also a struggle for my 'Able' project.
