2 Website Planning Before beginning any web development project, you should complete a needs assessment create a story board plan the layout and style of the site Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2013. All rights reserved. IT: Web Technologies – Website Development Trade & Industrial Education

3 Gathering Information
When meeting with the client, you should complete a needs assessment. A written document stating what is the client’s purpose for the site? who is the site being designed for / target audience? what Information should be included on the site? what are the client’s design preferences? The needs assessment is the plan of action for developing the site design. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2013. All rights reserved.

4 Storyboarding The storyboard is a diagram of the website’s structure.
It should show all required pages of the site. It should show how each page is related to the others. You should take the following into consideration: Is the structure logical? Can the user find information quickly? How many links are on each page? The storyboard should give the designer an idea as to how to structure the site. The user should be able to locate his/her information within 3 clicks. The scoreboard will help the designer determine if this is possible. The number of links on each page should be limited. If there are too many links on a single page, the design should be reconfigured. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2013. All rights reserved.

6 Layout & Design Once the site structure has been determined, you can consider the layout and design of the individual pages. Layout Considerations: Consistency: Each page should have the same layout and design. Also includes the pages’ style. The same design style should be used on each page of the site. Consistency – Also point out that consistency helps unify all the pages so they look like a single site. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2013. All rights reserved.

7 Layout & Design Navigation: The navigation should be in a standard position (top or left side) Balance: The page should be balanced Fonts: The selected font should be easy to read, and it generally should be a generic font Colors: A color scheme should be selected with the client. The color scheme should be applied the same on each page Navigation – Should be easily seen and should be very clear as to where each link takes the visitor. Balance – The content should be arranged on the page so that one side does not appear to “outweigh” another side. Images generally weigh more then text with regards to balance.

The web pages can be created using a text editor or a program that can create HTML code. Have students open the web design software and follow along with the following steps.
