Testing, testing and more testing

Ahhhh, the joys of user testing!  On the one hand it's fantastic to be able to get hands-on with the website and see our idea brought to life.  However, the joy quickly turns to frustration when you find out how many little things are not done right and need re-doing.  A surprisingly large amount of things need attention which is worrying.  It's really testing my patience - ha ha - like what I did there?  Subtle as a brick through the front window and probably just about as funny.  Nevertheless, we are persevering with spending a few hours each night trying to find little things that aren't working properly so they can be sorted out before we go live.  Each day Base Creative gets sent a list of things that need their attention.  Things are slowly working their way out but we are running out of time for having a live website ready for use.  Unfortunately, the website is already late on a revised release date (because they missed the first one by 6 weeks) and so well overdue.  At the moment, we have a demo environment which we have been able to share with interested Universities and so I hope the glimpses we have offered via this will generate a positive response from them and they will make a decision in our favour to invite us along to their Freshers Week events.  Eyes open and fingers crossed!
