...Website Evaluation and Prototype for Redesign Introduction Team A has been working together to create a list of essential design criteria for evaluating the Berry’s Bug Busters Website, a virtual organization. The team also completed a comparative review of two sites that have similar audience and purpose to the Berry’s Bug Busters Website. The intended audience for this website is people over the age of 18 that find themselves with a pest problem. There are no specific demographics related to the service offered. These two sites are Orkin and FreedomPest, which provide some useful examples of ways to improve upon the curent design of Berry’s Bug Busters Website. The following is the list of design features: Design Features 1. A chat window so that customers can talk about their pest issue with an expert to answer any questions 2. Incorporate social media logins such as Facebook and twitter to increase our customer base. 3. A drop down window which will help them search for the pest that they are having trouble with and explain the behavior and diet of such pests. 4. Have a taskbar that lists our services, pests, testimonials, schedule an appointment or to contact us. 5. List our accreditations and licenses. 6. Create a space for regular customers to open an account, gaining access to “privileges” such as discounts and complimentary services. (Log in). 7. Link building. Adding links to our business profile in directories...

...offer. Successful web design relies heavily upon a visual concept. Without effective visual design, almost everything on the internet is meaningless. It is visual design that grabs people's attention and encourages them to analyze the piece more carefully. The internet is a primarily visual realm, which is why interactivity, visual elements, and new technologies are such important aspects of great web design. “Since the 1990s (and really, for a select few people, even before that) website design was something that developed very, very quickly and changed rapidly over time. Website companies across the board have taken time and care to make sure that they are innovative and pushing boundaries, while also providing for viewers, visitors, and customers everything that they could possibly need to get the most out of their respective websites and other uses. Today, HTML5 looks poised to be one of the website designs of the future, but how exactly did we get here to where we are? And where have we come from with web design theory and practice, to reach 2013? Back in the early 1990s, HTML (the first iteration) was considered major website technology and innovation. Since then, CSS 1 and CSS 2, Javascipt, Flash, XHTML1, and even AJAX more recently have all come under as the hottest new thing in web design, some lasting mere months before something better innovated across the board. To get to where you are, though, you must know where you’ve come from – and with web design, that process...

...Dictionary.com, digital technology is defined as “the branch of scientific or engineering knowledge that deals with the creation and practical use of digital or computerized devices, methods, systems, etc.” Web design is as important from daily shopping and web browsing to corporate businesses and branding. Imagine wanting to research a company’s case studies on building projects throughout neighboring counties. One may use a major search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo which will display a list of results based upon the input of the user and from there the user proceeds to the desired website. But how does a company get placed on a search result page? “When you include important company-related keywords into the html-based text, search engines such as Google and Bing are able to crawl your website easily, increasing your search engine placement and giving your website and firm more overall visibility” (Hendricks 2015). When analyzing, designing, and implementing a new website for a new or established company, many factors must be considered. Web design sticks close to the system development life cycle and is broken down into the requirement analysis, design and development, quality assurance, implementation, and maintenance and support. With all of these tasks at hand web design becomes crucial for the potential customer or client. Although all of the steps are critical to a successful website and the company it represents, the customer simply...

...turning to designers for help. Depending on the level of complexity, most designers agree websites can range from $500 to $25,000. Fortunately, there are skills you can learn independently to lower the cost. The following tips will guide you through the development process, preventing unnecessary spending on design and maintenance. Take Your Time: Objectives and Planning Planning is the key to any successful project. Before designing a website, always create a project charter to define the site objectives, scope, timeline, and budget. If a website is planned thoroughly, fewer complications will surface later in the development process. Know Your Material: Content Inventory A website without content is like a house without furniture. Carefully assess which content will be published on your site and determine what is still needed. Where larger corporations hire writers to produce quality material, a frugal entrepreneur can cut expenses by generating their own content. Be Creative: Making it Look Good No website would be complete without appealing graphics, a stylish layout, and original text. Most successful websites use simple layouts and add a touch of flair using design software. Search the internet for free tools to help you create animated graphics, logos, and interactive elements. Put It All Together: Construction and Testing Now that you have the framework and content, combine everything to create a finished website. Every page should be filled with the appropriate...

Hardware Vulnerability Single ISP controlled router linking service to the internet. There is a security vulnerability to cracking from the internet side of the router, thus possibly severing customers from the product and/or service. Assuming the ISP can control the router remotely, it is a backdoor into the router than can possibly be used by unauthorized users to change the router settings and deny internet service to the company. There is a very low likelihood that the router will be taken over by an unauthorized user. This is also a vulnerability in terms of access control, with no access to an ISP controlled router, Quality Web Design can not secure this router to limit unauthorized access. An edge router should have specific items addressed to ensure that it has as little vulnerability as possible. Here are a few points to consider when securing a router: • Make sure that the OS is patched and as up to date as possible • Protocols o use ingress and egress filtering o Screen ICMP traffic from the internal network • Disable...

...Ulyssa.Johnson1 Web Site Design Phase 5 Discussion Board Course: EM208-1303B-11 September 18, 2013 • You have been asked by a small business in your area to build a web site for their business (which they are willing to pay you for). Explain the approach you will take to planning (learning about their web site needs) through the design and coding of this web project. During phases 2, 3 and 4 we talked about how important color, typography and the navigation through a site. I spoke about how colors affect a person’s mood and emotions, how using certain typography styles can turn a customer away because it’s frustrating to read also, an excessive amount of navigation buttons could cause the visitor of the site to miss the actual meat and potatoes of said site. When meeting with a potential client to design a web site, I would keep this information in the back of my mind and pass it on to the client if needed. My first question would be how much are you willing to spend? I know that sounds a little harsh but, by their response I can determine if the client wants a site with bells, whistles, 3D graphics and videos to sell their products or a simple quality site that will sell their products too. Then, I would find out what message did the client want to convey on their site. For example, even though it is a small business, do they want to portray a big business establishment or just a local hometown business feel. I would ask which products and services they...

...Private sector-New Look is a private retail store. It was founded by Tom Singh in 1969. Since then the company has rapidly expanded and now operates across a chain of over 1,000 stores internationally and a staff of over 30,000. When you first go to the website there are many links to take you where you want to go on the website. There is also a search bar so you can go directly to the item you want to look at. The website promotes the business as it shows free deliveries and returns. It is tidy, organized and offers lots of information. It uses plain colours and still pictures but the pictures used show of the clothes the shop is selling and the pictures are still so you can have a good look at what the models are wearing. You can also scroll down the page and see what the clothing looks like on. At the bottom of the page there is a hyperlink to their catalogue. They also have social media links to their Facebook and Twitter with an option to share their website, this is good for marketing and promoting the business. The links at the top of the page take you to different places within the website and once you’ve picked an item there is an option to choose your size then either add it to your basket or save it to your wish list for a later date, this is convenient for the business and the consumers as it keeps the customers on the website for longer and the customer can click on many items then decide later on what they want to buy.

...utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web-site. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist. In order to use the principles properly we first need to understand how users interact with web-sites, how they think and what are the basic patterns of users’ behavior. How do users think? Basically, users’ habits on the Web aren’t that different from customers’ habits in a store. Visitors glance at each new page, scan some of the text, and click on the first link that catches their interest or vaguely resembles the thing they’re looking for. In fact, there are large parts of the page they don’t even look at. Most users search for something interesting (or useful) and clickable; as soon as some promising candidates are found, users click. If the new page doesn’t meet users’ expectations, the Back button is clicked and the search process is continued. Users appreciate quality and credibility. If a page provides users with high-quality content, they are willing to compromise the content with advertisements and the design of the site. This is the reason why not-that-well-designed web-sites with high-quality content gain a lot of traffic over years. Content is more important than the design which supports it. ...
