ict - why i have done certain things on my website
TRANSCRIPT
WHY did I chosen this background?
• I opted for the white and grey background because I felt it was simplistic and looked professional. The Islamic calligraphy part of the background shows what the website is about and that it is tied with Islam. Altogether the background is professional, simplistic and beautiful.
WHY did I created this banner?
• This banner reflects many ideas. The picture itself is Islamic calligraphy of an Islamic saint revered widely by Muslims. On top of that, a Welcome sign in red which stands out and shows that the website is related to Islam and the colour green matches with the bright red colour well.
WHY did I used this colour scheme?
• White and grey is very simplistic and subtle. The colours make a website look professional and not casual, this was the main factor in choosing this colour scheme, because the client is a Sunday School and not a sports club for example.
WHY did I presented links in this way?
• I wanted the external links related to the Sunday school to be well organized and easy to navigate through. The thumbnails help a lot because it gives a preview of the website and what to expect. Organizing the links in a list is the most simplistic way to navigate through the links.
WHY did I used a form to collect queries?
• Forms are very convenient for companies because they can collect explicit and non-explicit information. The aim of the form is to be able to answer questions from the general public and having information that the school can use to keep in contact with in the future if necessary.
WHY did I used a particular type of navigation?
• This navigation style is very simplistic, that is the aim of the whole website, to be easy to use and access. All the links to pages are visible clearly in a row on top of the site so it is easily noticeable and accessible for students, parents and the general public alike.
WHY did I use RSS for the news section?
• RSS is a tool which allows people to follow information or announcements from a website without having to access it every time. The embedding of RSS into the school website was to make receiving announcements more convenient and more people will get the message compared to if it was just posted on the site.
WHY did I used box.com HTML for file access?
• Box.com is a great storage service. It’s HTML embedding features are also very useful. I embedded Box.com so that files from a specific folder can be viewed in full screen or regular screen, downloaded, printed and much more with the amount of features Box has to offer. This can be very useful for all users of the school website.
WHY did I present ‘Class Times’ as an embedded file?
• This was used because embedding a word document is more easily viewable for the user (more clearer)
