Designing a Web Site, 01/22/08
Check this out: Designing a well-functioning Web site calls for quite a bit of planning and upfront "rough work." 
This semester we will go through the planning process carefully so that you get a clear sense of the major steps involved in designing a successful site--one that will make you very proud.Your Web site will be designed according to Web standards, so you will be learning very many new things about building a Web presence. I think you'll really enjoy the whole design project.
To get started, please read about the Web Design Process. This is a tutorial, published by Adobe (owners of Macromedia and thereby the parent company of Dreamweaver), that offers a very nice high level view of site design. I have given you the URL to the printable version, so you might want to print this out and bring it to class on Thursday.
We'll discuss a few approaches to design at that time. Also make sure you have some paper and a pencil or pen to start your design sketching.You should also read what the IBM usability team has to say about ease of use in Web design. Not to overload you at this point, but I will talk in class about planning and the kinds of documents and approaches you should be thinking about at this point in the planning process, especially regarding purpose, scope, audience, and technology concerns of your site.
If you have questions, just e-mail me at wbuchholz@bentley.edu. Feel free to comment on this announcement, or if you want to e-mail it, click on the little mail icon directly below.
