Unit 1 - Site Design Learning Diary

  • Public
By Hassan Jasim in the group COMP 266 August 24, 2022 - 2:55pm

In this unit, I created a document outlining the website that I am going to create, along with the personas and scenarios of the website’s visitors. I have also created a site map outlining the pages and how they are linked with one another. I also created some high-level mock-ups of each page outlining what content will be displayed along with its location on the page. I wanted to make sure that the website was simple and easy to use and navigate and most on the visitors to the site might not have enough time to go through all the pages if I had made it complex. I believe the personas, scenarios, and mock-ups went well as I have done that type of work before, however the site map was a different type of task than what I am used to. It really forces you to think of all the pages and how they are going to be linked together. Luckily for my website, I made the decision to link every page to every other page through the navigation bar to ensure ease of use and ensure the user doesn’t get lost within the site.
