Hi!
This semester we have two tracks (A and B) to finish out the majority of course assignments. The Capstone Project was only “Working with a Client” and you could not be your own client. This time you have choices.
Delve into the upcoming assignments and pages for weeks 10, 14 and 15. What questions do you have? Which series of assignments best match the experience and growth (plus training and practice) you want to get out of your web design journey?
I’m seeing a trend here. Past students did ask if they could be their own client. I was ruthless for three or four semesters and said no.
This is my A. B. testing… You don’t know what that is (possibly) … but later in web design you will roll out two versions of the same page to two different audiences and see which one gets better results.
I have a co-worker who asked for assistance building a web site. I was glad to offer to help BUT… we are both busy so our schedules don’t coincide making it hard to catch up with the client. And since I always know how to get in touch with myself I intend to take Track B.
And of course, if I have spare time, I can still work at building a webpage for the co-worker, but just for fun and practice without time pressure.
That really makes sense to me! Weeks 10-15 might be a ‘crunch time’ for some.
I’m choosing track B. I had an idea from the beginning for what I wanted to create, so using myself as the client makes more sense.
I’m sure I’ll have questions once things get started, but right now I don’t have any.
I’m choosing the Track B Capstone track. I am an artist and establish my own online portfolio so this timed out really well for me. I don’t have any questions at this time. I think we’ve been presented with more information than we’ve used so far so once we start using some of that again, I think I’ll have more questions.
I am choosing to go with Track B for the Capstone project. I want to focus all of my energy on creating a great, user-friendly website for my dear friend. Right now my only question is what the wireframe document or image is.
Ahhh… Week 10 is going to be a delight for you! That’s where you will work on creating a wireframe (and/or sketching out your plan). There is a lecture and links to resources.
Both look challenging, but I’m leaning more towards track A because it looks like a lot of fun and I’m doing a blog.
If there’s one question that I would ask, it would be about week 10. How would you create a wireframe document? I have never heard of it.
The series of assignments that best match the experience that I am looking for would be the Capstone project.
I intend to take on the Track B Capstone. My intend from the beginning has been to augment the tools I have available to work within UAS’ preexisting website management. It would seem unusual to dedicate time to a separate potential client when I already have a goal in mind.
I don’t have direct questions about the assignments at this time, but I’m definitely going to have to fill in a lot of gaps in my knowledge on options like WordPress.
For this capstone project I choose to be my own client to build and design a website for homemade dog food. The domain name is happylikeadog.com please feel free to visit and share your comments. It’s a work in progress and will be developed and tested throughout the course period.
