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″.
