IMC!Cinemas!
INTRODUCTION!
!
Our!Work!Process!
We"assembled"our"group"of"3"persons"quickly"and"we"submitted"2"websites"each"for"consideration"
for"the"project.""Over"the"course"of"a"few"days,"we"all"researched"the"6"websites"with"the"brief"in"
mind.""We"came"to"the"conclusion"the"IMC"Cinemas"were"the"best"fit"for"our"project.""This"website"
was"active"and"had"social"media"connections.""It"was"also"beneficial"for"our"user"experience"part"
of" the" project." " We" divided" up" the" sections" of" the" brief" between" us" and" also" divided" up" the"
evaluation"scenarios"between"us"to"be"written"up.""We"have"been"using"Facebook"Messenger"and"
email"for"communication"and"have"met"several"times"outside"of"class"to"discuss"and"collate"our"
findings."Our"backgrounds"are"diverse,"which"produces"different"viewpoints"about"the"website"and"
its"findings."We"respect"each"other’s"opinions"and"have"put"forward"the"ones"that"are"the"most"
beneficial" for" the" group" project." " We" work" well" together" as" we" have" been" consistent" with"
Facebook,"Twitter"and"LinkedIn"communication"among"ourselves"and"the"class"over"the"past"year."

UX!EXPERIENCE!
"
Why!the!user!experience!(UX)!is!of!fundamental!importance!
User"Experience"encompasses"human"computer"interaction,"not"merely"with"software,"an"app"or"
a"website,"but"also"with"household"appliances,"like"a"microwave"or"a"fridge."UX"focuses"on"how"
the" experience" makes" you" feel." Users" that" encounter" a" positive" user" experience" with" a" given"
product"or"service"will"be"more"likely"to"maintain"a"long"lasting"relationship"with"the"provider."On"
the" other" hand," should" users" encounter" a" poor" user" experience," they" will" quickly" take" their"
business"elsewhere."There"are"too"many"competitors"willing"to"offer"superior"experience"to"win"
customers."Nowadays,"users’"demands"for"exceptional"service"is"higher."They"expect"information"
to"be"readily"available"at"their"finger"tips."Companies"like"Apple,"Google"&"Amazon"are"pioneers"of"
UX"in"their"fields."They"spend"a"great"deal"of"resources"on"inventing"the"best"user"experiences"for"
their"customers"that"sets"them"apart"from"vying"competitors.""
Good"design"is"crucial"for"websites,"apps,"software,"and"all"kinds"of"products"and"services."Think"of"
the"last"time"you"used"a"computer"that"was"new"to"you"and"how"you"had"to"adjust"to"performing"
certain"functions,"or"the"last"time"you"did"a"banking"transaction"online,"or"at"the"branch"and"how"
you"were"treated."Did"you"have"to"wait"a"long"time"in"the"queue?"Were"you"able"to"perform"all"the"
tasks"you"needed"to"do?"Did"the"online"banking"system"reject"your"password"or"code?"Or"perhaps"
the"experience"ran"smoothly."Developing"a"rich"interactive"experience"for"users"will"stimulate"them"
to"keep"coming"back."UX"designers"need"to"think"outside"of"the"box"and"always"put"the"user"first"
when"creating"designs"or"solving"user"problems."All"kinds"of"platforms,"from"desktop"to"mobile,"
need"to"be"considered"throughout"the"UX"process."As"mobile"usage"is"increasing"among"customers,"
mobile"responsiveness"design"is"becoming"an"ever"increasing"integral"part"of"the"user"experience."
After"all,"good"design"equals"happy"customers.""
How!we!outlined!and!planned!our!evaluations!!
Based"on"the"statistical"data"gathered"from"SimilarWeb"and"Social"Bakers,"we"found"that"78%"of"
visitors"to"the"IMC"Cinemas"website"were"mobile"users."Hence,"the"reason"for"selecting"mobile"as"
the"main"platform"for"performing"the"evaluation"user"scenarios"on."However,"two"of"our"users"
were"evaluated"on"desktop,"as"they"were"not"mobile"users"and"were"more"familiar"with"using"
desktop"and"therefore,"were"more"comfortable"carrying"out"the"tasks"on"desktop."Also,"we"wanted"
to"compare"findings"found"from"desktop"and"mobile"and"compare"any"differences"between"them."
8"
"
"
Method!and!technique!for!evaluations!
We"performed"12"evaluations"in"total"and"assigned"2"tasks"per"user.""See"Appendix"1"for"user"
scenarios"and"details."
The"user"scenarios"we"chose"to"perform"our"evaluations"are:"
1.! Booking"a"cinema"ticket""
2.! Registering"for"the"app"
3.! Buying"a"gift"card"and"hiring"a"venue"
Conclusion/Feedback!to!the!business!owner!
!
General!User!Problems!!
This"is"a"list"of"some"common"problems"found"across"all"12"evaluations"performed."
1.! Lack"of"flexibility"on"website"allowing"users"to"choose"between"menus,"for"example,"users"
must"choose"cinema"location"first"before"movie"and"date"in"dropdown"menu."
2.! Creating"a"password"proved"somewhat"tricky"and"delayed"the"entire"process."
3.! Completing"the"Captcha"proved"time"consuming"and"difficult."
4.! Not"being"able"to"find"the"app."There"is"no"direct"link"to"it"on"the"website."Also,"it"is"not"on"
Apple’s"App"Store."
5.! There"is"no"search"option"on"the"website."
6.! You"cannot"purchase"gift"cards"online."You"have"to"visit"the"cinema"to"do"so."
7.! Website"doesn’t"show"the"cost"of"cinema"hire."You"have"to"call"the"cinema"or"fill"out"a"
form"online."
8.! While"booking"cinema"tickets"online,"the"quantity"of"tickets"doesn’t"display"to"users,"only"
the"amount."
9.! After"registering"on"the"site,"an"onescreen"message"appears"saying"the"user"has"to"sign"up"
again"after"15"minutes."
! !
9"
"
!
!
General!Heuristics!!
1.! Visibility)of)System)Status"
It"wasn’t"always"clear"on"the"website"as"to"to"which"next"steps"the"user"had"to"take,"e.g."
during"the"Captcha"process."
2.! Consistency)and)standards"
The"conventions"of"BUY"TICKETS"or"BOOK"NOW"buttons"on"most"websites"isn’t"used"on"IMC"
Cinema’s"website."Also,"there"is"no"SEARCH"button"and"no"DOWNLOAD"THE"APP"button"or"
link."There"is"a"Register"and"Login"on"the"top"right"of"the"homepage."
3.! Recognition)rather)than)recall"
The"password"should"display"rules"above"fields"as"opposed"to"after."When"the"user"selected"
the"blue"GO"button"after"selecting"cinema"location,"movie"and"date,"the"date"disappeared"
causing"the"user"confusion"and"making"them"think"they"had"to"refill"the"date"again.""
4.! Match)between)systems)and)the)real)world"
When"purchasing"cinema"tickets,"the"Sign"In"as"a"member"option"should"displayed"at"the"
beginning"of"the"process,"not"at"the"ticket"type"selection"step.""
5.! Help)and)documentation"
An"Auto"fill"should"be"on"the"payment"and"check"out"pages."Required"information"fields"
have"no"asterisks."There"should"be"additional"onscreen"help"and"support"instructions"given"
to"the"user"at"the"Captcha"part"and"with"contact"forms"when"users"encounter"difficulties."
6.! Aesthetics)and)minimalist)design"
Certain"details"on"the"website"are"presented"well,"such"as,"movie"times"and"dates."Users"
need"to"scroll"down"to"view"trailers."If"the"movie"showing"doesn’t"allow"seat"selection,"then"
there’s"no"need"to"have"this"step"included."Quantity"of"tickets"chosen"during"the"booking"
process"should"be"displayed."The"number"of"address"fields"required"on"the"registration"
form"could"be"reduced."The"loyalty"starter"pack"should"be"available"in"a"downloadable"
format"online."Likewise,"users"should"be"able"to"purchase"gift"cards"online"as"opposed"to"
only"at"a"cinema"venue."On"mobile,"the"screen"is"too"big"to"see"all"the"information"in"some"
instances."
" "
10"
"
"
"
7.! Flexibility)and)efficiency)of)use)
The"website"seems"to"be"easier"to"navigate"on"desktop"than"on"mobile."Booking"cinema"
tickets"on"mobile"was"tricky,"especially"with"Captcha"and"selecting"ticket"types."Also,"mobile"
users"had"to"scroll"up"and"down"a"lot."On"the"app,"there"is"a"login"option"for"users"already"
registered"which"helps"fast"track"the"online"process.""
8.! User)control)and)freedom)
If"the"user"clicked"on"a"trailer"and"wanted"to"escape,"the"individual"could"do"so"by"clicking"
anywhere"on"the"screen."
9.! Help)users)recognize,)diagnose)and)recover)from)errors)
At"the"Captcha"stage"of"the"registration"process,"users"were"requested"several"times"to"
complete"the"Captcha,"but"didn’t"understand"why"they"were"asked"to"do"so."There"should"
be" an" onescreen" message" displaying" an" explanation" as" to" why" redoing" the" Captcha" is"
required.""
"
Recommendations!for!the!website!
1.! The"cinema"location,"movie"and"date"dropdown"menu"buttons"should"be"interchangeable."
The"user"should"have"the"flexibility"to"choose"between"the"three"menus"rather"than"by"a"
strict"order"of"location,"movie"and"date.""
2.! The"movie"showing"times"need"to"be"placed"in"the"upper"portion"of"the"page"as"opposed"
to"the"lower"so"users"can"clearly"see"the"showing"times"right"away"and"not"have"to"scroll"
down"on"the"webpage"to"find"them."
3.! A"BUY"TICKETS"button"should"be"included"beside"the"movie"showing"times."It"isn’t"clear"
what"button"you"need"to"click"to"purchase"cinema"tickets."
4.! The"website"should"have"a"direct"link"to"the"app"and"say"DOWNLOAD"APP"HERE."
5.! The"loyalty"scheme"membership"registration"should"be"kept"separate"from"the"app""
6.! The"loyalty"scheme"starter"pack"could"be"send"in"a"soft"format,"whereby"the"address"
fields"are"required"for"a"hard"version,"making"the"duration"of"the"registration"process"
unnecessarily"longer.""
7.! The"screen"should"prompt"the"user"in"advance"as"to"the"characters"the"password"required"
during"the"registration"form"process."
8.! The"Captcha"form"process"needs"reviewing."The"user"shouldn’t"have"to"complete"it"
several"times."
" "
11"
"
"
"
9.! The"app"should"be"located"on"the"Apple"app"store.""
10.!The"seat"selection"part"should"be"excluded"if"it’s"not"required"for"a"particular"movie"
booking."
11.!There"should"be"an"option"on"the"homepage"to"sign"in"as"a"member"for"those"who"are"
members."Placing"the"Sign"In"as"a"member"at"the"ticket"type"stage"of"the"booking"journey"
is"too"late."There"should"be"an"option"at"the"very"beginning"on"the"homepage."
12.!Although,"the"user"didn’t"click"on"the"Film"Times"tab"on"the"home"page"while"performing"
the"task,"should"the"user"do"so,"the"film"times"are"listed"for"all"the"movies"not"for"the"
specific"movie"the"user"searched"for."This"might"be"confusing,"so"the"film"times"should"be"
kept"pertinent"to"the"movie"the"user"is"searching"for."
13.!Before"completing"the"password"field"the"user"should"be"prompted"that"they"need"to"fill"
out"a"password"with"at"least"one"uppercase"character"and"at"least"one"special"character.""
14.!The"Captcha"process"needs"to"be"simplified."If"the"user"encounters"several"unsuccessful"
tries"in"completing"the"Captcha,"the"page"should"bring"them"to"a"help"or"support"form"
with"further"information"and"a"contact"they"can"email"or"phone."
15.!The"app"needs"to"explain"to"the"user"why"they"cannot"login,"instead"of"merely"leaving"the"
page"blank"and"the"user"confused"as"to"what’s"going"on."
16.!The"design"should"be"aligned"to"all"types"of"browsers"and"for"all"ages.""
17.!Autofill"should"be"incorporated"for"all"browsers."
18.!There"should"be"more"information"provided"about"the"cost"of"venue"hire."

Monitor!
The"first"and"foremost"thing"for"any"company"to"build"online"reputation."The"company/"business"
need"to"research"about"online."Searching"in"quotation"marks"to"be"accurate."Secondly"exploring"
around"in"the"industry"how"other"people"are"managing"their"online"PR"could"help"in"building"and"
understand"the"industry"norms"as"well."Search"all"search"engines"Google,"Bing,"Yahoo."Also"looking"
through"images,"video"&"other"linked"to"their"name."The"area"for"concentration"should"be"the"first"
page"of"search"engine,"as"most"searchers"tend"to"click"on"the"top"most"links."Checking"Social"media"
accounts"Facebook,"Twitter,"Instagram,"Pinterest,"LinkedIn"&"Snapchat."Having"few"results"about"
their"page"or"none"at"all"could"be"equally"bad."As"it"is"the"age"of"digital"media,"the"consumer"might"
be"annoyed"that"you"are"not"available"online.""
"
In"our"case"the"IMC"Cinema"is"available"in"the"first"few"searches"along"with"location"maps"by"google,"
films"appearing"at"the"top."Images"below.""
•! Image"1"e"Google"First"Page"Result"(See"Appendix"14)"

•! Image"4e"News"On"Google"(See"Appendix"16)"
•! Image"5e"Videos"On"Google"(See"Appendix"17)"
"
By"seeing"the"above,"people"are"actively"searching"for"the"page"and,"IMC"cinema"have"the"relevant"
content"for"everyone.""The"following"can"actually"help"when"searching"for"their"business:"
•! Google"Alerts:"will"send"an"email"when"the"keyword"is"used"in"either"a"credible"news"item"
or"a"blog"post."
•! Google"News:"Searches"all"news"items"for"mentions"of"a"keyword."
•! Google"Blog"Search:"Searches"all"blog"posts"for"mentions"of"a"keyword."
•! Google"Patent"Search:"allows"you"to"keep"track"of"all"filings"related"to"an"industry.""
It"would"also"help"if"we"would"let"an"outsider"view"their"online"reputation"because"our"view"maybe"
skewed."We"might"not"consider"certain"stuff"troublesome"like"photos,"comments,"while"others"do."
Ask"them"to"determine"whether"they"have"found."" "

As#he#resides#in#Dublin#city,#he#would#have#liked#to#see#Dublin#cinema#locations#appear#first,#not#

Step!4!–!Selecting!the!movie!of!his!choice!and!the!date!
Christopher#selected#SANTRY#as#his#cinema#location,#Bad#Santa#2#as#his#movie#choice#and#3rd

Step!7!–!Figuring!out!the!cost!of!2!cinema!tickets!

2#OAPs,#including#the#booking#fee#of#1#euro.#At#first,#he#thought#the#total#price#was#only#14#euros.#
