you are to continue to work with the tutorial at Webmonkey.com. Please read through Lesson 3 [2] and
Lesson 4 [3], and follow their steps for creating chapters 3 and 4 of your design document:
•Identify Content and Functional Requirements
•Group and Label Content
•Metaphor Exploration
•Set It in Stone
•Define Navigation
This part of the tutorial concludes two parts:
“Create a new chapter in your design document called Content and Functional Requirements. Include a
summary of the content inventory. Add a section about how the content is grouped and named. Add the
list of functional requirements with a summary, if you like. The content inventory should be included
as an appendix to the design document. Remember to publish these results so that everyone can see
them.”
“Documentation time! Create a new chapter in your design document called ‘Site Structure.’ Write a
summary or metaphorical explanation about the driving rationale behind the site structure. Add the site
structure listing. If the site structure listing is too long, add a shortened form and include the rest
as an appendix. Compile the architectural blueprints and add them to the design document. Document the
global and local navigation schemes. As always, publish these results so that everyone can see them.”
Your “publication” consists of submitting your “results” in report form
websites to be used:
