Responsive COVID-19 Information Website for Citizens

Key Requirements and Stakeholders

Any ideas, quotes or media that you include must be referenced using the IEEE format.

All diagrams must be illustrated using appropriate digital tools, with clear labels and annotations e.g.  www.draw.io, powerpoint etc.

The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live and work, with a requirement for responses at a local, national and international level.

Imagine you are a web developer working for your local or national government. Your task is to make sure all of your citizens have access to the information they need for the changes to their lives.

For homework, you will identify the requirements for the project and produce both wireframe and information architecture designs.

1. Who are the key stakeholders?

2. What are the key requirements?

3. How will you structure the information architecture?

4. What design will you use for your page structure?

5. What colours and branding will you use?

1. Select and explain the different tools, technologies and languages available for creating online web systems.

2. Critically evaluate the business related issues, context role and architecture of web-based information systems.

You are a web development consultant tasked by your local or regional government to produce a website to deliver information on COVID-19 to their citizens as a response to the global pandemic. The government have briefed that you will:

1. Analyse the requirements to specify the required features of the website.

2. Design an appropriate information architecture, including all relevant content in a structured and coherent manner.

3. Produce wireframes for the website design on both mobile and desktop formats.

Using the brief above, you should construct a list of requirements for the website. This should include (at a minimum):

Data on recent COVID-19 cases

The systems of COVID-19

How to book a test

You are welcome to include any additional information in your specification that you consider essential to the website. You should consider what information citizens may be seeking on the pandemic, and provide sufficient justification and evaluation of each requirement to demonstrate its necessity to be included in the website.

Word count = 1,000

You are to determine the content and features of the website, based on your experiences of the web, an analysis of the brief and creative input. The content should be fully structured and defined in the information architecture map. The map should be drawn using appropriate digital tools with clear structure and labels. Don’t forget to consider the user experience journey: what information will citizens be seeking, and how will they access the relevant content?

You are to provide wireframes for your overall site design, showing how the website will work on both mobile and desktop devices. You only need to demonstrate each type of page once, with appropriate annotations to describe how the system will work. All wireframes are to be drawn using appropriate digital tools with clear annotations and labels.
