The Design Plan
The Design Plan is a document that describes the concept,design and plan to
create one or more web-pages.
Components
The following should be written with a word processor like Word and each
component becomes a section in your Design Plan Document.
- Cover Page: Has title "Design Plan for XXXXX" where XXXX is the name
of the current web-authoring project. Followed by the Author(s) of the document,
the date and contact information (email,etc) of the Author(s).
- Concept Summary: A paragraph describing the goals and purpose of
the web-page. Included should be mention of who the target audience is and
the intended impact.
- Logical/Navigation Flowchart: This section of your Design Plan is
a chart that illustrates graphically the different webpages or components
of them and their interactions/links to each other. The chart if possible
should be written on a single page of paper and should clearly illustrate
how the user can navigate around the web-site.
- Resource Plan: This section lists the people involved in the project
and their responsibilities and what they must deliver. Also, a time-line schedule
should be given discussing when each component in the Logical/Navigation Flowchart
will be completed along with Content development and final testing.
- Detailed Design Sheets: Here the major components stylistically from
the Logical/Navigation Flowchart are planned on paper as to their appearance
and function. You are to use the following word document template of a web-browsers
screen to draw-on and illustrate the buttons, text, etc. that will appear
on that "major style web-page component". Design Sheet
