Web Development I ISYS1001

1. Task Description
Develop an electronic work portfolio for yourself, which demonstrates your skills in as many relevant areas (of your degree) as possible. The portfolio should contain:
Hello, dear friend, you can consult us at any time if you have any questions, add WeChat: _0206girl
 Homepage that introduces you to possible employers.
 Resume -- listing personal details, education, experience (work), qualifications, hobbies, other relevant information (these could be shown on separate pages if desired)
 Examples of your work/skills in four (4) different areas. Some examples:
o Design examples
o Graphics production and preparation
o Written and spoken communication skills
o The ability to work as part of a team and independently
o Project management
o Skills required by employers in your field of study.
Each skill area should include examples of your work which may be in the form of text, graphics, links to working projects or screen shots of projects.
Deliverables:
 Functioning web site (digital). Uploaded to your website on infotech (our Linux server).
o IBS & GXUST students check with your local tutor about this requirement (as different requirement may have to be meet).
 The University marker must have access to the source code, so you will also be required to provide a zip file containing the entire website (and design documentation as a single word document) . For all Internal/Online/Sydney/Melbourne/Perth students this will be via MySCU (see the Submit Assignments folder) site.
2. Length
There should be at least six (6) pages in the website. There should be - at minimum - a Home page (index.html), a Resume page, and at least 4 pages with examples of your skills. One of these skills pages must detail your Web Development skills page .
In addition to the six (6) pages already mentioned, topics 9, 10, 11 and 12 contain continuous assessments that will add an additional two pages to your site. These additional pages should be linked to the Web Development skills page only -- as they are related to these skills. For your convenience I have included all of the continuous assessments as an appendix of this document.
Remember that prospective employers have to read your portfolio, so keep it informative and intuitive. Typically students lose marks as a result of a content poor site (including lack of information, bad spelling and grammar) --
don't make this mistake!
3. Marking criteria
The following marking criteria should assist you in completing your assignment.
5% Interface design , navigation and organisation

Please make sure that you address each of these criteria in your assignment. Have a look at the marking spreadsheet
provided in the Assignments folder of the MySCU site for additional information.
4. Submission Format -- also see point 10.
On the completion of the Website, as well as handing it in as per instructions, you must upload your site onto Infotech (our Linux server). This is similar to the process that you would undertake when placing your website with an ISP.
Place all design documentation in one Word file (this does not need to be uploaded to Infotech). IBS & GXUST students should check with your local tutor about this criteria.
Ensure that all .html files and the .doc file are zipped into a single file and submitted to MySCU assignment area, following naming conventions for the zip file given in point 11. IBS & GXUST students will submit this to their local
tutor.
5. Advice
You should start thinking about the content and design of your portfolio website as soon as you read this. That Is Right NOW! You need to have a clear design in your mind. You should also collect/develop all content that you
want included in your website. You should be coding the site starting in week eight.
Pay close attention the feedback from your tutor about your design -- marked as part of assignment 2. This is a check placed into the 2 nd assignment to verify you are on track with your major assignment.
Design Issues:
 Your design should fit a screen resolution 1024 x 768 (allow for toolbars and scrollbars). You will need to research the actual working space available for your content.
 Think about your design carefully. The site will need to be consistent throughout.
 Navigation is one of the most important issues. Carefully plan your navigation on paper first. Think about using a template for your main navigation to keep it consistent and understandable.
 Decide on an overall theme.
 Include in your design the colours for text, backgrounds, etc.
 Keep fonts consistent.
 Will there be different colour schemes used on unrelated pages?
 Include all of this information in your design document.
 If there are a number of images on a page, decide on the dimensions during the design phase. It is best to make them a consistent size.
 Take care with your button size designs and banners / headings so that they do not "take over" the page.
