• As a trainee at YellowZebra you have
been asked by your manager to design
and create a small interactive website to
demonstrate your creativity and
technical skills in web design and
development.
• Your website must have a minimum of 5
pages but you have some freedom over
what the site is about.

5. Writing about the Style
of the Website
• This is in addition to the
moodboards you have
done
• It’s about describing the
feel as well as the look
of the website – setting
out the goals you will
achieve
• Include:
– level of language to
use
– types and size of
graphics,
– colours,
– fonts and sizes,
– layout

6. File Structure
• Before Christmas you worked on this
• You just listed the files you will need
• Do you need to update this or add
anything? You can keep updating as
we go

8. Structure Diagram
• This is all about how webpages link
up to each other
• Start with index.htm in the middle
• Then add the main pages (that will
be on the main menu) as they will all
link to each other
• Finally add any pages that are linked
from only one page

9. Site Map
• To plan out the links between sites
• Do all link to all the others?
• Are there key ‘central’ pages that link
to a number of others?

11. Project plan
• Some parts of creating a website are
sequential while others can be parallel
• Sequential means one at a time, one after
another – you can’t start the second until
the first is finished
– E.g. Setting up folders before creating web
pages
• Parallel means both are happening
alongside each other
– E.g. finding images to use while creating web
pages

12. Gantt charts
• Gantt charts help us plan, especially
when there’s a mix of parallel and
sequential tasks
• A line represents each task along a
timeline, labelled and carefully
planned
• Search for some examples

15. Sketches and Wireframes
• I taught you that these are two
different things
• However, for the assignment I’m
prepared to accept a mix of both
• Some must be hand-drawn, however
rough
• You may also want to sketch ideas for
logos, images etc.
