Web Design and Development

Throughout the course, you will be working on designing a small website for a fictitious organization. As mentioned in the Required Unit Resources, a programmer must establish the goals, vision, audience, and wireframes before writing any syntax.

1. What is the name of the organization?
2. Does the organization have a current website, or is this going to be a new website?
3. What should the website do and promote?
4. What are the characteristics of the end-user, and who is the intended audience?
5. Will the website have any competitors? If so, what do these sites look like?
6. Using a vector graphics application (e.g., Drawing application in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice), create a website frame (for the entire website) and a webpage frame (for only one page).
