Web design and HTML authoring Toolkit Reflection
by Cathy Jung ~ July 4th, 2009. Filed under: Toolkit Reflections.After reading Checklist 1, I was feeling pretty low. I have to hang my head in shame and admit…my website sucks! A few of the items I reluctantly checked off included:
– We say “Welcome to…” on our home page
– We have too much/too little text on a page
– Our site uses cheap clip art instead of high-quality web graphics
I hesitated; did I have the stomach to even look at Checklist 2? No, call me chicken. I decided instead to review the “What do I do now” section. I think that the checklist is a great tool and addressing the issues here can definitely be a complicated and time consuming process, particularly for a novice like me!
The idea of storyboarding is a great concept. It allows you to plan ahead. It allows you think about things such as content, graphics, navigation and organization. Having this shell provides perspective, particularly in terms of identifying workload and effort required. Time spent on a storyboard is time well spent.
