Web Dev 6

Web Dev 6

Web Dev 6 Assignment

Web Dev 6 is your final specific Web Dev assignment.  Don’t forget that 50% of your project is Web Dev specific, while the other 50% is your Second Semester in Cawd.  After WD6 you can continue to improve your college grade by excelling in Cawd.

This weeks project is going to have you evaluating a variety of websites for content, style, and functionality.

You are going to create a .rtf document for me in where you answer the following questions for 4 separate websites. 

For each website include:

  • Business name
  • URL
  • General Design Thoughts
    • Speak about the design of the site.  Talk about (but not limited to):
      • Is it “easy”, or least resistive to use?  Is it hard to find and access information?
      • Legibility
      • Use of images
      • Negative space
    • Talk about the Responsiveness of the site.  Try it out on your phone.
    • Recommendations to the Creative Director of the Website as if you were a Web Design Consultant.  How would you improve?  What would you change?

The 4 websites you will be evaluating:

  • BBCNews
  • Polygon
  • Cawd
  • Your choice for the final site.

A cautionary tale:

This is a full 1/6th of your Web Dev specific component grade, and while it is “easier” as there is no code, do not “mail this in”.  Make sure your write-ups are thoughtful, accurate, and correct when looking through the lens of best practice web design.

Deliverable:

Save your .rtf file as “evaluation.rtf”.  You are going to upload this project to your “webDev” folder to a folder called “week_06″.

  • Assigned May 3rd (3pm)
  • Due May 17th (3pm)
