ESafety Website Design Project





You will need to complete and attach your report (YOU ARE ONLY ATTACHING ONE DOCUMENT) of your website design to this blog post no LATER THAN JUNE 30th.  Don't forget your report should contain the following sections:

Title: 'Thames Valley E-Safety Website'

Introduction:  Explain what the project is about and what the reader is going to find in this report.

User Requirements: Here you should outline exactly what your webswite is going to contain according to the brief that you have been given

Research: 

(1) You need to show examples of both good and bad websites saying what is good and bad about them.  You also need to say what aspects of these websites you will use in your website design.

(2) You need to have shown all the research you have done on content for the website.  Both text and images

Design:

(1) You need to produce a storyboard sketch of your website design (remember you should do this in pencil and scan as a .jpg).  You need to say exactly what images are going to go where.  The background colour you are going to use.  Roughly what text content you are going to use – this is very important as your website must be informative.

(2) You need to show the sketch design for you logo and the finished logo design.  You also need to describe what your logo means and how it was designed.

Logo: You need to show images of your initial sketch design and a .jpg of your final design.  You will also need an explanation of what your logo means.

Testing Plan
You will want your website to work.  The questions you need to ask are for example: Do the links work? Are there spelling mistakes? Are the content and images informative?  Each test should be numbered and described.

Your Website
Show screen dumps of each page of your website. Show screen dumps of the HTML code that you used to make your website.

Testing
You should show your tests being carried out and the results.  Try to show that your website works.

Evaluation
Here you need to critically examine the project.  Get somebody to give you feedback.  You need to answer the following questions:
What improvements could be made?
What could I have done differently?
Did I approach this task correctly?
