The Project Planning For My

Website

Paige Shirley

Planning Phase

• In order for me to create my website, there was a lot of planning that was needed to be done for example I need to plan the layout of my website, I needed to plan when I was going to do and how long I was going to do it for.

• To help me plan for these jobs, I used Moodboards, Storyboards, page layout, etc.

• Using these ways helped give me a clear idea on how I was going to create my website, when I was going to create a certain part like the menu.

My Layout My Storyboard My Moodboard

Project Log• To organise when I was going to do a certain

part of the website and how long I was going to do it for, I used a Gantt chart.

• Using the chart, I was able to enter the what the task was, how long I wanted to do it and the start and end time.

• Another good thing about using a Gantt chart is that if you finish one task you can basically tick that on off so you can focus on the other task in hand.

• Using a Gantt chart is also brilliant due to that it adds up all the days that I want to spend on each task and add it all up so I can see how long the overall time that I will need to spend on each part of the project.

Designing the Website

• According to my log I have planned to spend 7 days on the designing the website. To design my Moodboard, Storyboard etc, I first sketched them on paper, then created them on the internet with some images, colours that I wanted to use.

The Moodboard: 2 days

The Storyboard: 1 day

The Layout: 2 days

And then finally Designing the Banner: 2 days

Creating the Website

• According to my log I have planned to spend 16 days on the creating the website. To create my website I used Notepad ++, using this made it easier to create websites and does a lot of work for you also making it quicker.

Creating the template for my website with the design on it: 2 days

Adding Colour, Pictures, Link: 1 day

Creating the Banner:2 days

Creating different pages for the different topics: 3 days

Create and add a Menu: 4 days

Then finally Adding Information: 3 days

Testing my Website

• According to my log I have planned to spend 6 days on the testing of the website. When I was happy with the design, layout of my website, I tested it all to make sure it all worked.

Testing the links: 2 days

Testing the Pages work: 2 days

Then finally Testing the Menu: 1 day

Closing Phase

• After I tested all of the different compartments of the website, I was finally happy with everything, so I decided to close the project and hand it over.

• But before that I made sure that they were not any risks that could cause the website to fall apart for example while I was testing the menu, I found that some of the pages did not work due to me not putting the right name to link that page to the page that I wanted it to lead to, this was easily solved but me checking and putting the right name in, once I had did that everything work fine again.
