Errata Sheet: Chapter Updates for Chapter 5 (In new window, click on Chapter 5 and then scroll to the bottom of center column)

1. The web site will be on a topic of global interest. The site must compare/contrast two countries on this topic. Select one form the following list, or get pre approval from your instructor for another topic of global interest.
2. Select a minimum of two countries (your choice on the countries) and one of the following topics.

Animation Architecture Authors Childcare  Climate Economy Education Ethnic Music Family Dwellings Forms of Government

3. The purpose of the site will be to either compare/contrast the two countries or present information that is specific to each country.  For example, if the topic of climate was chosen, the site might provide information about the climate in South Africa and the climate in Iceland.  Specific examples for each country would be included. 
4. The final project will be a website consisting of a minimum of 6 pages: a homepage, 2 pages on each of the two countries, and a form* page.   Since the site must have meaningful content, this may take a little research so be sure you choose a topic that interests you. Start planning and gathering information (URLs, graphics, background information, etc.).  As you create the site throughout the semester,  you can incorporate the appropriate information into your site.
5. The final project will consists of versions to view using the screen, mobile, and print formats. (One website with three CSS files)
6. Web Topic Approval (p. 243)
   1. In addition to the 6 bullet items, add the following so there will be a total of 9 questions.

      2. What two countries will be included?
      3. What is the purpose of the website?
         List the reason you are creating the website.
      4. What do you want the website to accomplish?

         Describe what needs to happen for you to consider your website a success.
      5. Who is your target audience and how will the site be customized to target that group? (p.216-217)
         Describe your target audience by age, gender, socioeconomic characteristics, and so on.
         List at least three features that will be implemented to dress the needs of the target audience.
      6. What opportunity or issue is your website addressing?
         For example, your website might address the opportunity to provide information about a topic to others or create an initial web presence for a company.
      7. What type of content might be included in your website?
         Describe the type of text, graphics, and media you will need for the website.
      8. What colors and color scheme will be used on the site? What is the URL for the resource you used for selecting the color scheme?

         P. 210: Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split Complementary, Triadic, Tetradic are the possible color schemes.
         P. 211 provides URLs for potential resources. Choose from this list.
         
      9. List the URLs for at least two related or similar websites found on the Web.
7. Web Project Site Map - Site Layout Chart (p. 205-206)
   1. The site map is to be created using iPlotz (http://www.iplotz.com/) The site allows users to create 1 project and 5 wire frames for FREE. This will be sufficient for our purposes, Buying a subscription to this service is NOT required for this class. Again, just use what is available through the FREE version.
   2. Professor prepared videos - See links above
8. Web Project Page Layout Design - Wire frames (p. 225-226)
   1. Again these will be done in iPlotz A wire frame must be created for the homepage and one of the country pages. One for each page in the web site is not needed at this point.

* http://www.mycontactform.com/samples/web_survey.php provides samples of many types of forms. Begin thinking about what information your web site visitors could submit. Examples: request for more information, evaluation of your web site. Working through Chapter 9 should help with your final decision.
