Assignment 2A

Hey gang. Here's the deal:

We have 5 weeks - 5 classes left. I missed many of you last week...well, me and four other people missed the rest of you. So listen up.

First part - due in class first thing next class - Week 9 - is your Final Website Plan.

This will consist of three elements:

1/ Description of site -> The purpose and the audience. One paragraph should do it.
2/ Sitemap -> yes. A sitemap as described in class. You can link to a pdf example - without labels and for a largeish site - here: map.pdf
3/ Wireframes for each page. If you are doing a large site, i.e. more than 5 pages, then just the main page (if you have one) and the top level pages. The wireframes are to be as explicit in their documentation of the features and function of the pages and the elements of the pages. An example can be downloaded from here: wf.pdf

When we meet next week you'll hand in your plans. One document, please. PDF format preferred. Either on CD or email it to me: branden@twinlizards.com

Then we'll get to work immediately on our final web projects.

A couple of things to note:

Don't reinvent the wheel - View Source and help yourself - Take the best - and what you wish - from that site and use it.

Find sites similar to yours and compile a list of "best practices" - things that they do well and which you'd like to emulate.

Don't bite off more than youcan chew - and for that matter, don't eat anything bigger than your head.

Questions? Email me.

Rock on,

Branden
