    You have been hired to create a Website. In this assignment, you will begin to gather the necessary information to complete the work and present your ideas to your client.

    You will need to answer the following questions:

        What kind of domain name(s) will you register (i.e., .com, .biz, .net, etc.)? Why do you suggest this kind of domain? (Review the section in Week 1 on domain names.)
        Will you register the site using multiple domains? Why is this necessary?
        Will you need to secure any portion of your site? Why? (See section on HTTPS.)
        Given the nature of Web trends and changes in technology, what steps, if any, do you suggest to keep your site viable for more than one year?
        What browsers do you anticipate your visitors will be using based on information available today?
        Does the browser have any impact on your design?
        Based on what youve just learned this week about CSS, how will this help in the development of your site?

    You may submit this in multiple formats though a pitch deck (PowerPoint is highly recommended; extra points if you would actually like to create a presentation in a video device or software of your choosing that you can upload to YouTube or similar online easily accessible hosting service. Note: Your instructor must be able to access your video if you choose this option. Prior coordination is needed to ensure your instructor will be able to access your video). Youve been hired, but remember you still need to show off how awesome you are.

    Part One:

    Your client is interested in how you will structure the Website. Before you begin to write the HTML for your pages, its a good practice to create a storyboard* that outlines your ideas for colors, font sizes, placement of images, hyperlinks, and sections on each page. You do not need to write this in HTML! In fact, it will save you time if you develop your storyboard in Word, PowerPoint, or Visio first, so you can make adjustments based on feedback.

    Here are some online resources to help you think through the process:

    Part Two:

    Based on your storyboard, you will begin to create your file structure for your site. It is never a good practice to keep all of your files in the same folder.

    For example, if you are developing a site that sells clothing for men, women, and children you might have one folder for all the pages that house mens clothing, another for womens clothing, and so on.

    You can create this portion in Word indicating where each of your HTML pages will be located, as shown in Section 2.4: Links in your text.

    *Your storyboard and file structure should outline your homepage, inside pages, navigational scheme, and where you plan to add your form. This is a high-level design that you will be adjusting and changing throughout the quarter.
