Meeting with Anthea; Process?

Last night we met for (what's becoming) our weekly meeting with our mentor, Anthea. We mainly chatted about what we've been up to with the Challenge and the process were making. The following is our notes recorded from the meeting, thanks to Liz :-)

We also showed Anthea our Sitemap (in development stages) for the Museum's website.





NOTES from Meeting;

Think about changing the name of ‘History’ - about us? Change to.

How are we going to set up the Donations? Ph number they can call to contact the museum, or will they be able to complete a form online? Givealittle.com – can set a page up online. CHECK IT OUT!

Staff profiles – can it come under About Us?

Archives; Can we change the name to "................" (fill space)??? and can it come under History? – because it’s apart of the history content of the Museum.

Rename for Archives; Collections? Listings?

(Really look into the content of each ‘Button’, does it go there? Why? Does it fit? Or can it be moved somewhere else?

Wire Frames; work the frames off the Site Map. What pages will use the same Wire Frame as each other? Discuss, decide and sort out which pages should have the same layout and composition?

RESEARCH; look into other websites that relate? Where and what do they have for/under their buttons? Look at composition; imagery placement and content placement.

Get brief SIGNED OFF!!!! A.S.A.P!!! (We have done our part – just need their’s now. Have emailed Kay and are waiting for a response.)

Signing up for ‘Email attachment’ – talk to Kay about it next time, and whether they want to use it? We would like to help them set it up. ☺ Practice trying to sign up with our own accounts first, so when we do it with them, we can show them exactly how to do it; rather than the blind leading the blind.

On Wire-Frame; Image Rotator. (Moving images on any pages.)

Cam is going to chat to the Museum’s IT Guy. ☺

Sponsorship; Does it look good on the homepage? Or should we put it more ‘into’ the site. Through doing this it won’t draw the attention away from the Museum’s own website. Maybe put it within the ‘About Us’?

Wire-Frames; Always consider content.


TO DO;


Plan and design basic Wire frames. Need to get an idea for the composition of each page, eg; Homepage.

Getting feedback from Museum about the Logo – Where to go to from here?

Cam – trying to get the game (pretty much) finished by the end of this week. // Chatting to the IT Guy.

Really need to get our butts into gear with all the design process; particularly with the website.

Working Bee night!!! (Need to do one A.S.A.P!)

  1. Great stuff guys - don't forget the working agreement needs to be signed off too.
    Also, remember the phased approach to introducing your client to the solution - walk them through your sitemap and then the wireframes, showing them where the wireframes fit within the sitemap.
    Then you can get out the crayons and make some pretty concepts for the site design - woohoo!
    Any luck finding out whether their hosting will cope with Wordpress?
    Doing great guys :)
