CIS 3.1 Lab #4 : Site Design

Due Oct 10

In this lab, you will create a site design for your term project. This work should result in a site diagram similar to the one shown below; a pencil sketch is fine.

  1. Decide what categories of web pages your site will have. These may include a home page, pictures, products, contact info. Make a list of all the ones relevent to your site.
  2. Decide how the user will get from one web page to the next. For example, which pages are directly accessible from the home page? What path would one take to get to a particular product page? If the user wanted a similar topic, how would he/she get to the appropriate web pages?
  3. Develop a site diagram that illustrates how one would navigate your site. The result should be a directed network, with web pages shown as nodes and links shown as directed edges (see the example below).

External links should be as a dotted line. Notice the arrows. If you have links to external sites, they will not likely have a return link. For external links, have a one way arrow only.
