Examination of a sample web site structure

Well, just like any other website, components of the website will have to be implemented for the proper oveflow of the website as a whole. Below is a generic layout of elements that will be contained in the web site. This sample's structure would be subject to change as the process of site creation takes place. The actual web site completed per this proposal may be significantly different than the example shown here. Although the Requirement Analysis phase will determine the nature and character of the web site development project, we have taken the liberty of suggesting sub-headings and topics for the purposes of this proposal. These topics would be featured in a Navigation Toolbar, found on every web page. 4.1 Home Page Every site begins with a primary introduction page. This page should give focus to the overall site, and offer links to all major areas and functions. Links back to the Home Page will be acccessible on every page in the web site. Appropriate design choices for the Home Page will be an important part of the development process. The Home Page will anchor the site and pull its elements together, rather than simply be a promotional introduction. 4.2 Products Promotional material for the company's products would be shown, with appropriate links and options. Links to an Internet Store could be featured here. (See Additional Functions and Features for an Internet Store option.) 4.3 Support Technical information, FAQ's, and manuals for products are shown here. A support form could be included to report problems and request assistance. 4.4 Calendar The Calendar would list all current company events, and would keep "expired" events visible for a set number of days. A special web page interface, protected with a password, would be available to add, delete, or modify entries to this Calendar. Calendar events could include a link to an Event Page describing the activity. A sample Event Page template and Event Registration form would be included. 4.5 Gallery This section could display pages of images. (The Gallery could also be used for documents, sound files, Acrobat PDF files, or other "library" functions.) A pre-built

template would display pictures as thumbnail images on "section" pages. Hundreds of images could be supported. 4.6 Current Events This page would list current events that the company is involved in. For example, this may list current media coverage. A web page interface would be used to add or delete items from this page. Links could be added to each item. 4.7 Our Company This section would list contact information for the company and staff. Maps and driving directions would be included. Company history, biographies, pictures, and links to other pages and/or sites could also be added. 4.8 Links Links to other web sites can be an important service for visitors. A web page interface would be used to add or remove links from this page. Links would be organized by a topic heading. In addition to the Home Page and Navigation Toolbar sections, three other pages would be included: 4.9 Contact Form This web page will accept information from a site visitor, and send it as an Email message to a desired address. The Contact Form is a standard tool for managing messages from the web site back to the organization. A single contact form will support a different email address for each topic area. A web page interface will make management of email addresses for the contact form possible from any web browser.

(Contact forms replace the "mailto" tag, which are seen on many sites. Although "mailto" tags will be found on the Contact form itself, it is unfair for a web designer to assume that each visitor has a configured Email system on their machine.)
4.10 Site Map The Site Map is a page that contains text-based links to each primary area of the site. It is a convenient way to navigate around areas of a web site, and to see a complete overview of the topics that it presents. 4.11 Search Results A "Search" field and button will be available on each web page. When pressed, the entire web site will be searched for a matching text string, and the results will be displayed on this page as content with a link.

Along with searching the entire site, search ranges could be limited to a specific topic or site area. This would be additional to this proposal. 4.12 Administrator Section Panel (Important) The website will have an administration panel for adding articles managing images, and managing the whole site as a whole. This makes it easier for the site to be edited and managed from any web browser software. The administrator panel has login security check that only allows vulnerable people having login passwords to gain access. All login credentials shall be given to the Client after the full payment has been made.

Documentation binders

Site documentation will include the following binders, or "Books". Each book will cover a distinctive aspect of the web site. 5.1 Technology Book This binder will document the technologies involved in the construction of the site. The binder will have sections that detail the programming and technology used to create the elements of the web site. There will also be a section about issues such as search engines, meta tags, non-graphical browsers, handicapped accessibility, and unique requirements. 5.2 Design Book This binder documents the graphical elements used in the creation of the web site. There will be chapters for each aspect of the site's design, including page layout, color schemes.. 5.3 Content Book This binder will be a compilation of the documents that comprise the content of the web site. The layout of this binder will mirror the topic headings of the web site itself.

WEB SITE PROPOSAL

Summary

Web sites are not static objects, and need to reflect the goals and orientations of the organizations that they serve. It is our intention to present your company with a compelling presentation that effectively represents the enterprise to the Internet community. As part of this representation, the web site should be a focus for two-way communication. Pages and content should change to reflect new projects and interests, and provide mechanisms for both current Clients and the general public to interact with the organisation. We can discuss this project at your convenience.
