Hi,

Here at Te Papa, We are looking to evaluate our users as part of the first stage of the redevelopment of our website, We like to know what they like on our current site, what they would like to see, what they don't like on the current site, is it easy to find information on our site etc.

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would be willing to share with us some examples of the types of questions they may have asked in online surveys they may have developed for the same purpose.

thanks Belinda
