Executive summary

My experience with online survey method to gather the feedback on my previous project was quite efficient. So, I decided to use the same method to get the feedback on this current project. Sites.google.com was used again since it provides variety of website template to create a nice appearing website. Online survey method provides an effective means for research, being said, this method is fastest way to collect the information for analyze the result. I was only able to find 1 participant to do my survey as my friends do not want to spend time to participate at looking my final project website. The only participant was agreed it is much clear and easy to understand compare to final project 7021 website. Methodology Survey online by using Survey Monkey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TPNBDDL Audience Type
