Website Design Plan.

Plan of action

Statement of Purpose

I am going to create a website to promote my Mother’s business and to help her increase sales through the website. I want to do this by making my website as interesting as I can make for a person who is going to be learning about web design along the way. I also want to include a way to have an online ordering system. I am thinking I may set this up through pay pal or some other third party.

Audience

My audience will be the local population who currently have access to the internet and want to buy my mother’s products. This site will, mostly, cater to those who are not as technologically advanced, because that will probably be my mother’s costumers. This is because mostly older people are interested in homemade goods and she is starting her business by going to craft shows to sell her product.

Medium

I chose to use a website for this project, because it is a beginning business, so she does not have a shop or a phone. This will allow her to be able to promote and sell her product much more. This will also allow her to cater to her customers, because they will be able to get her product all year round.

Arrangement

I plan on this being a very simple website. I want it to be four pages. I want one page to be the welcome page and say what the business is and what kind of product they sell. This is so people who find the website online will know who they are and what they are selling. I then want to have another page with their products and a description. That way the costumers will know exactly what the product is. I will probably have another page for ordering with an order form on it. This is because it will make it easier on me, so I do not have to worry about getting the order form and products on the same page. It will also make sure that the page with the products and order form does not end up getting too big. The last page will be a contact us and who we are page. This way the costumer can contact us if they have any problems or if they need something specific.

Description of completion

I will be making this website on Dreamweaver. I will be learning this as I go along. One of my friends has made websites before too and I plan on receiving some help from him on how to do some of the more complex tasks in Dreamweaver.

Testing

I plan on asking fellow classmates to test my website before it goes up so I can improve on it and help it become a better website. I want to be able to show this to my mother before I put it up if I can show her it, or afterwards and hopefully I will still be able to edit the website.
