completed website

Contact form
• You could easily create a form
without my help – just draw the
fields in WebPlus
• Making it work is more tricky – it
needs some

Get the Code
• Open the link from the VLE – “Email
form code” http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php

• When you use this code you must
either edit both bits of code together
or don’t edit either!
• Watch how to use it (demo)

Add a contact form
• Think about the text that will go with
it – what is the purpose of this form,
what information do you hope to
gather?

Designs
• Assignment 4 was to design this site
– that should all have been
completed.
• Before you hand it in, look down the
list of things you needed to include
in your design portfolio

Print and hand in
• Before you leave this afternoon, you
need to print and hand in all the
documents for the design – that is
now your number 1 priority to
complete

Testing
• Testing means using a range of browsers
and devices to test your site on
• I have set up test computers with some
different browsers –
http://owncloud/~username
• Make sure it looks & works right on as
many as you can, take screenshots for
evidence
• If it doesn’t, that’s OK. We can fix it!
