In this website proposal, you will outline your plans for your final website project. I am imagining that your final website will combine words and images, include multiple pages, and meet some basic technical standards for XHTML, HTML5, JavaScript CSS, and accessibility. In addition, one page of your website must be scripted with a server side technology such as PHP. I expect that you incorporate at least 500 words of text. If you choose to incorporate complex images, audio, or video, you can have less text. You MUST have the right to use any graphics you include on your website. Do not get caught up with copyright infringement.
The purpose and audience of your project is up to you; I encourage you to tailor the project to suit your individual professional interests. If you want to do something other than a standard website (e.g. a blog, a dynamic data-driven site, a video), you should talk to me in advance of the proposal so I can modify the assignment to better suit the needs of your project. Your proposal will take the form of a business proposal with some attached visuals (sitemap, design sketch). It would be difficult to provide the requested information in less than 500 words.
The website proposal is due on Thursday 7/17 submitted in Blackboard by midnight.. Once you start building your website, you will revise the proposal to turn it into a rationale explaining the final product.
Your final proposal will describe your plans for the following aspects of your proposed site:
• Audience, Purpose, and Context
• Content
• Architecture (including site map)
• Design (including rough sketch)
