SJA Website Opinion Survey

Posted: 31 Aug 2008 09:23 PM CDT

The official SJA website will be getting a makeover in a few weeks time, and the BBC want to know your thoughts on the current site to help with their plans. Only catch is, you have to be 16-years-old or under to take the survey!


Just go to the site, click 'YES' on the banner at the top of the page and try to be as honest as possible when answering the questions. Please don't assume you're supporting the show by giving the website a perfect score. Constructive criticism can help make something even better than before! The survey shouldn't take you more than five minutes, tops. If you can't see the banner at the top of the website like in the screenshot above, here's a direct link.
