Research on Chicken restaurants.

In order to ensure that I had the necessary information to fulfill the tasks of the assignment, I have been practising making simple web pages using notepad and HTML code. This had included tables and frames. The topics which I have created websites on are St Patrick's Day, and words from the letters of my name.

Now that I have the assignment brief, the first tasks that I will have to do are research restaurants and hotels and use the information to make a mood board for the website.

The assessment for this unit will be solely based online.

The scenario is as follow (has been copied from assignment brief)

Web Man Enterprises is an online company that specialises in web design from development and design to evaluating and marketing. You are currently employed within the company as a designer and promoter of web projects. Most of the staff within the company are employed on a temporary basis as freelancers who carry out and complete jobs acquired by Web Man Enterprises. These jobs are acquired through a bidding system where a job is posted and companies or freelancers bid on the job and provide their credentials and their solutions to the requirements given. The winning bidder then receives the job.

Case Study – Chicken Inn

The following job has been posted on the ‘Freelance For Money’ website:

The Chicken Inn is a popular local restaurant and hotel. They have decided that they want to have a web presence so that customers can primarily view their menu online, place room bookings online and find information on how to find the Chicken Inn. These are the essential requirements of the website, but the business is open to any other suggestions of information that could be provided on the website.

They have no specific designs, layout or colour requirements for the website and are open to all suggestions for improving the basic design and initial requirements. They have done a little research by looking at other restaurants that have an online presence and would ideally like something very similar, but unique to their needs to make them stand out from the crowd.

They would like you to create a template design for the website which would include designs for the menu, booking and how to find pages.

From this brief there are a number of tasks which will need to be completed. I will need to research restaurants (chicken-themed) and hotels, as well as creating a mood board to help me decide on my theme, a story board and then create the actual website.

This blog has been created as part of my studies towards the website development unit of the National Diploma for IT Practitioners that I am studying for.

This is the second time that I have tried to create this blog as initially I forgot my username and password.

So far in the unit I have learnt to create simple tables, add text and colour and add borders.

I have also created a mood board.

I was initially having difficulty with using a different blogging website so I have copied and pasted my retrospective posts on here.
