This week covered the steps taken before developing a website
This was a more theoretical class where we were introduced to some examples of how to go about planning for designing the website for our CA.
The first step that was cover was the breakdown, i.e. the planning of the site. This involved firstly drawing inspiration from examples already out there, when reviewing this method I learned that there should be a focus on genre specific sites that will match the purpose of what you are trying to develop.
The next important step is to determine what the goals of the site will be. For example a website for a small business retail store will have an overall goal to promote and possibly sell the products, where as a bands website will have a goal of trying to introduce possible fan to their music. Therefore the target audience must be considered in the overall look and feel of a website. I found helpful questions to help in this process are things like, 'who will use this site', 'what do you expect them to do when they visit' and 'what could stand in the way of people and the purpose of the site;.
