Jennifer Kueter's Design Document

Purpose

In this section, state the purpose of the website.

Use Case

Use this section to describe the user and their interaction with the website.

Design Concept

Audience

In this section, state who the website is created for and who you expect to access the site.

Reference Websites

Remember, you need at least 5 website references, be sure to include the links.

Some things to think about here:

Presentation Information

List the Content you will include and how it supports the purpose.

Content Synopsis

How are you planning to present your information?

Wireframe of Website Organization

This should be an image you have created. Here is a link with free templates and examples to assist you in your planning.

Rationale for Organization

Explain how and why you are organizing the site.

Media

At this point, you do not need to know the specific media you will use, just have a plan for what you will be using and how you will create or access that media.

Color Scheme

Colors are important to a website. Be sure to include samples of the colors. This can be in color chunks, like the example, or you can just use font colors.

Things to Remember

This is still just the planning page of your website. While it is very important to think about each individual aspect of your webpage and how it will work. The more you plan now, the easier it will be when you create the actual site. Don't forget to use your resources: the web, your coursebook, your peers, etc. I am sure the idea of creating a whole website at on your own may seem intimidating, there are a plethora of resources to help you!
