Week 2: Site Diagram
Update the project proposal/design document based on any feedback given from milestone 1.

Extend the Week 1 Project Proposal/Design document by adding a site diagram using MS Visio that includes the following:

layout of the site (identify all pages and their relationships);
page filenames (use ISO standard naming conventions);
links between pages (show the relationships using arrows); and
navigation structure (choose which type of navigation structure best suits your topic).
This layout will be the main design template for all of the pages in your site. In future weeks, you will be altering the main content areas as needed. In the diagramming application, use the Save As option to create an image file (jpg, gif, or png) of your site. Copy this image file into your Project Proposal document.

Upon completion, name your single, MS Word document as lastname_CIS363_projectWk2.

Week 3: Page Layout and Site Navigation
Extend the Week 2 Project Proposal/Design and create a detailed page layout design in Visio that you will use as a template for all the web pages in your site. The template should include

a header area;
a link area;
a main content area; and
a footer area.
In the diagramming application, use the Save As option to create an image file (jpg, gif, or png) of your site. Copy this image file into your Project Proposal document.

Create blank content pages as per your site diagram. To do this, you must have the filenames of major site pages determined. You should have a home page (index.htm) and all of the subpages created, but content information is not required. Create the navigation links between the site pages. The pages do not need to have much content, but they must be created and contain the navigation elements and placeholder elements for your content. Begin to implement the box model with <div> tags and CSS.

Week 5: Implement Site Content and Create a Form
Continue to develop the site content as directed in milestone 4. At this point, at least 3 of the pages for the site should be completed.

Use the knowledge gained in this week’s lecture and iLab to create a user feedback form. Include all necessary controls (text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, text areas, dropdown lists, and buttons) to allow the user to effectively interact with the form. Use CSS to control the layout of the form. Include reset and submit buttons with the form. The reset button should clear the form and the submit button should load a “Your information has been received” page.

Move all site and page level styles to an external CSS file.

Upon completion of this step, zip up all of the files for the site into one single file and submit the file to the Dropbox.

Week 7: Site Content Completed and Site Evaluation
All content pages are completed for the site and the site is uploaded to the course web server per instructions from your professor.

Visit http:www.w3.org/WAI/RC/tools/ to locate tools to check for accessibility. There are some free online tools listed there, such as EvalAccess, which you can use to check your HTML code. Check your site and make any necessary corrections in your code. Conduct a user test with at least two people (spouses and kids are fine to use as testers). In addition to observing them using your site, have them fill out the form you created in Week 5. Take screenshots of the filled out forms to collect the user feedback. Create a short report (one page or less) detailing the results of the testing, including user suggestions and your response to those suggestions (whether you feel they are valid and whether they can be accommodated). Compare the user responses to your expectations of the user working with your site.

Upon completion, name your single, MS Word document as lastname_CIS363_projectWk7. Submit your testing report to the Dropbox along with the URL for your uploaded site.
