Project Plan:

Write your project plan so that it is a useful working document to guide your development. Carefully consider the description provided by the client to inform your planning. Complete the plan by editing the plan.html template file provided, which contains the following required sections

Goals

Concisely state what the goal (purpose) of the website is. Note that the mission must be to improve something in a measurable way. To "provide information about something" is not a good mission, since you can't see a measurable improvement. Why is the site needed? How does it benefit the client? Be clear and specific. Good mission statements are usually only a few sentences and contain no unnecessary information.

Success Evaluation

Describe the process(es) by which the site's success will be evaluated. Note that "hits" only counts people (or robots) visiting your website, which says nothing about whether the site has achieved its mission. How do you know that the site does what the client wanted? Measure the mission you stated above.

Target Audience

Describe two things clearly and specifically: 1. the target audience that your site is intended for (be specific; you can't aim for everyone) 2. how you will intentionally design the site to cater to this group (as distinct from another, different target audience).

Site Flowchart

Create a site flowchart to show the hierarchy of pages in the site and their relationships. Each page should be represented by one box. The order of boxes is the order these links should appear on the site. If you don't have a preferred drawing program for flowcharts.

Submission:

1. Submit a zip file of your work to LearnJCU, including the plan.html and flow chart image file
2. Upload both the website (with all required files) and plan.html  to your siteground web server.
3. YOU MUST ENSURE that your plan.html contains a link to your published website
