LECTURE NOTES •Define a project plan, also known as a design document, as a document that identifies various aspects of the website, such as goals, objectives and target audience , and explain the importance of preparing a project plan. •Explain that in order to identify the goals and objectives of a website, the website designer must ask a variety of questions regarding the client's goals, objectives, expec tations, and target audience. Give examples for such questions. •Show students how websites that are directed to different audien ces look different, and explain that this is the reason it is important to understand who the target audi ence is prior to planning the design of a website. Give examples of questions that can be asked in order t o identify the target audience: questions identifying users, such as gender and age range ; questions identifying user's needs, such as why they will be visiting the website; and questions ide ntifying user's technological tools, such as the type of operating system they use or the screen resolu tion at which they will be viewing the website. •Stress that it is important to ask questions in the design phase even if you know the client won't have ready answers to most of the questions, because even having some information can greatly assist in planning a user-friendly website. •Explain to students that websites usually have one or two main fun ctions, and give examples, such as serving as an online informational brochure, providing infor mation for special interest groups, showcasing examples of different types of works and designs, providing mu ltiple levels of information with templates, extracting information from database s or conducting business transactions through the Internet. •Stress the importance of identifying the type of website a client wants as a method for identifying the scope of the project. Explain that it is important to define wha t the site will include, as well as what the site won't include. •Note that based on the expected scope of the project and prior to d oing any work, a website designer should develop a budget, which will be included in the project plan and will become part of the contract with the client. www.nursylab.com
