Question 4

Critical Thinking Questions Case 6-1 Your small business Web site needs refurbishing. You decide the site's pages need more interactivity. At the next Small Business Association meeting, you ask for some Web page interactivity suggestions from other business owners attending the meeting. You want to improve the look and feel of your navigation elements. Betty, who publishes a hobby site, suggests that you ____.
A) create interactive buttons that change color when the mouse hovers over a button
B) forget about adding interactive elements to your pages; interactive features don't add much to site visitors' experiences
C) add a status bar message to each page to explain your navigation system
D) add hotspots to your navigation menus

Accepted Answer

Adding interactive buttons that change color when the mouse hovers over a button is a good suggestion to improve the look and feel of navigation elements. It adds visual interest and makes it clear to users which elements are interactive. The other options do not address the need for improving interactivity on the website.

Question 7

Critical Thinking Questions Case 6-2 You and three friends are planning a new informational Web site in support of a favorite local charity. You want the site to use interactive elements to enhance site visitors' experiences. During a recent planning meeting, the discussion was all about Web site interactivity. You want to add interactive navigational elements using interactive buttons on a navigation bar. Your friend, David, is concerned with the extra time it will take to add interactivity to each button. You tell David that ____.
A) you will spend extra time to create the buttons; there just isn't a good way to save time and effort when creating the buttons
B) you don't have much time, so you will forget about adding interactivity to the navigation bar buttons
C) to save time you can create one button and then copy/paste the button to create the other buttons; then modify each button's text and link
D) you will add the Set Text behavior to each button which will save lots of time

Accepted Answer

Copying and pasting a button and modifying its text and link is a quick and efficient way to create multiple interactive buttons for the navigation bar. Option A suggests that there is no way to save time and effort, which may not be accurate. Option B suggests abandoning the idea of interactivity altogether, which is not ideal. Option D suggests a solution without explaining what the Set Text behavior is or how it would save time.

Question 8

Critical Thinking Questions Case 6-1 Your small business Web site needs refurbishing. You decide the site's pages need more interactivity. At the next Small Business Association meeting, you ask for some Web page interactivity suggestions from other business owners attending the meeting. You also want to focus visitors' attention on a special deals box in the center of your home page. You want visitors to click an image in the box to see information on current special deals. Jilly, who operates a small online store, suggests that you ____.
A) add a popup message to the image in the box
B) add a swap image behavior to an image in the box so that the image changes to a list of special deals when a visitor clicks the original image
C) add a status bar behavior to an image in the box
D) add a jump menu to the image in the box

Accepted Answer

Adding a swap image behavior to an image in the box is the best choice as it allows visitors to click on the original image and view a list of current special deals, thereby meeting the goal of focusing their attention on the special deals box while also adding interactivity to the website. A popup message or a status bar behavior may not be as effective in directing the visitors to the special deals box, while a jump menu may not provide enough information on the deals directly.

Question 10

Critical Thinking Questions Case 6-2 You and three friends are planning a new informational Web site in support of a favorite local charity. You want the site to use interactive elements to enhance site visitors' experiences. During a recent planning meeting, the discussion was all about Web site interactivity. Your friends, Jennie and Lou, want to use lots of sounds and popup messages to make the site's pages cool and fun. You tell them that ____.
A) sounds and popup messages are easy to add
B) sounds and popup messages are very popular with visitors and will make the site more appealing
C) sounds and popup messages are a good way to encourage visitors to return to the site often
D) sounds and popup messages might annoy site visitors and, if used, should be used sparingly

Accepted Answer

Sounds and popup messages might annoy site visitors and, if used, should be used sparingly. While interactive elements can enhance site visitors' experiences, it is important to consider the user experience and not overwhelm them with too much noise and distraction. Using these elements sparingly and strategically can be more effective in keeping visitors engaged and returning to the site.
