LO3 - Website editing

LO2 - Potential Revenue

The Small Machines website is a site that sells products, so the most obvious revenue that will be made from the website is the money earned from the sale of the products.
Another way to earn money from the website is sponsors.
Small Machines works with the Royal Armouries and sells some of their products on the Royal Armouries website, which might lead to the Royal Armouries wishing to advertise on the Small Machines website.
Small Machines is a small, independent business that is looking for lots of customers. If other small businesses sponsored the website and used it for advertisement, both businesses could benefit from the results.

LO2 - Budget

It would be preferable to have a premium account, which allows features such as a good shopping interface and a custom domain (being able to change the format of the URL from http://09harrisa.wix.com/smallmachines into something more suitable). This costs £10.42 per month for one year, which comes to a total of £125.04 for one year.

I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the images I took of the products. The cost to own Photoshop is £17.15 per month.

If I wanted to hire a professional freelance photographer to take commercial photographs for the website, the price for one day of shooting starts at around £400.

LO2 - Projected Launch Date

I hope to launch the website on Friday 26th February. All parts of production will be complete by that date.

LO2 - Legal and Ethical

Intellectual property
Copyright/Data protection

Because the website will be created using Wix, all

I need to make sure that my website doesn't contain copyrighted materials that aren't affiliated with the Small Machines company.
SSL would help to protect the data on the website if I needed a shopping feature in which customers would use their bank card details to purchase products.

The content of the website needs to be suitable for all audiences including children, and not contain anything unsuitable. The ASA covers all media and my website should comply within its rules.

WaSP is a web organisation that keeps websites' data organised, accessible and easy to display on all browsers. My website will be accessible on all browsers and any issues in the code/display of the website will be fixed.

LO2 - Information Flow

The main way of navigating the website that the audience will use is the navigation bar at the top of every page in the header. There will be other ways such as titles and images on every seperate page, linking to different parts of the website in many different ways.
Another way that allows users to navigate a website is a site map. A site map contains all of the pages on the website on another page. The Apple website's site map is a good example:

LO2 - Technical Learning: Code Academy (2)

I started looking at how CSS affects a web page.

It goes into detail with different features that you can alter.

LO2 - Code Academy recap

Last lesson I used codecademy.com to learn the basics of coding HTML.

Most of the terms covered were new to me, such as "ul" and li", which creates a set of bullet points with ul showing the start and end and li starting each new point.

I will need to use nearly all of the HTML features that have been and will be covered on Code Academy.

LO2 - Annotated Wireframes

Home Page

1 - Small Machines logo

The logo will be in the very centre of the header and will be able to be seen on every page for emphasis.

2 - Navigation bar and cart

The navigation bar will also be in the header on every page. The pages documented in the navigation bar go as follows:

• Home

• About Small Machines

• Products

(- Machines

- Royal Armouries Range)

• Contact Us

• Blog

And the cart on the right.

They will be in the font Museo to match the house style of the rest of the site, most of which will be in the same font. It will be white to stand out from the background it will be over, which will be brown.

3 - Page and main site title

This will also be in the Museo font. It will be brown to match the house style, and to stand out from the pale background. I will try to add some sort of effect like a drop shadow to give it emphasis and draw the user's eye.

4 - Slideshow

This will be a slideshow full of bright and eye-catching pictures of the products. It should catch any audience's eye, from children looking for exciting toys, parents looking for authentic presents or experienced and serious collectors.

5 - Brief introductory text

This small paragraph will welcome the user to the website. It will be aimed towards an audience of adults, since these are the people who are most likely to scrool further down the page and pay attention to the text as well as the eye-catching pictures.

About Page

1 - Page Title

This will be in the site's primary font, Museo. It will be red/brown to match the house style.

2 - Images

There will be some pictures to break up the page. These pictures will need to reflect the lifestyle and ideals of the company.

3 - Main text

This will describe where Small Machines began, what it is today, and how it got there, in a few paragraphs. It will also include information about the Royal Armouries range.

Products Page

1 - Page title

Again, the title will be in the Museo font and will be red or brown to fit the house style.

2 - Product images

Each image of the products will be vibrant and eye-catching. They need to attract the attention of any audience, children and adults alike.

3 - Product name and price

The product names and prices will again be in the site's main font, Museo. They will be a dark colour, like dark brown, or black
