A non-profit organization would like you to lead a Web site

development project. The organization has Internet access

that includes space on a Web server, but no experience

developing Web sites. In addition to creating its Web site,

the organization would like you to train two people on its

staff to do simple web page updates. The Web site should

include the following information, as a minimum:

description of the organization (mission, history, and

recent events), list of services, and contact information.

The organization wants the Web site to include graphics

(photographs and other images) and have an attractive,

easy-to-use layout. Create a WBS for this project and

enter the tasks in Microsoft Project. For the WBS, as the

book states, this isn\'t the part of the development that the

work activities are put into logical order or where

predecessor or successor work is determined. That is done

for the next part of the assignment when you enter the

tasks in MS Project. Link the tasks as appropriate in MS

Project (using dependencies - Dependencies are discussed

at the beginning of the next chapter if you need clarity.)

Some of the specific analysis, design, and implementation

tasks will be to: Collect information on the organization in

hardcopy and digital form (brochures, reports, organization

charts, photographs, and so on). Research Web sites of

similar organizations. Collect detailed information about

the customer\'s design preferences and access to space

on a Web server. Develop a template for the customer to

review (background color for all pages, position of

navigation buttons, layout of text and images, typography,

including basic text font and display type, and so on).

Create a site map or hierarchy chart showing the flow of

Web pages. Digitize the photographs and find other

images for the Web pages; digitize hard copy text. Create

the individual Web pages for the site. Test the pages and

the site. Implement the Web site on the customer\'s Web

server. Get customer feedback. Incorporate changes.

Create training materials for the customer on how to

update the Web pages Train the customer\'s staff on

updating the Web pages.
