D2: Project website
About the website
Using Google Sites, hosted under the Howest domain (important!), you will build a public client-facing website.
You will present yourself as a company to the world.
The website is an integral part of the project assignment. Layout (is everything displayed in a clear fashion, do you adhere to your company branding, ...) and content (relevancy,...) will be graded, but you are not allowed to code the entire website itself manually using HTML/CSS/JS or server-side technologies.
There is no need to use paid hosting, nor do you need to purchase a custom domain.
Concepts
Basic concept and approach
What will you build and why are you building it?
Get across a clear picture of what your product is and what it will do. It is not necessary to go into as much detail as in the business case document itself. Think about the message you want to convey to potential customers or investors.
Website pages you should build as a result of this exercise:
- Home page
- Products/services page
- About us
Human resources
In this part, you will define the organisational structure of your Adrian enterprise:
- How will you be organising your team?
- Task distribution: who will do what?
Website pages you should build as a result of this exercise:
- Our team
- Job offers (include the vacancy and the LinkedIn mock-up)
- Contact us
Some notes
Also check out other companies'/startup's websites to determine their strengths and weaknesses.
Do not forget to include a message in the footer of the website that it is a fictitious company, part of an educational project! This is mandatory.
