When asking clients to choose items for their web site it is useful to
provide them with terms and examples.
I have provided a starting point for a sample page I want you to create
for your client. this page will contain definitions and examples of features
which can be used at your site. Please feel free to
modify
the
definitions.
All of the examples I have created are of projects done by students in this
class. You may want to use projects you have worked on or Web sites you have
found by surfing the net. Also, please remember - never show a client something
unless you are willing to make it for them. If you do not feel you have the
skill to create an online chat board, do not include that item in your sample
page
When you have completed your page please email the url to me. I will post
all the addresses so the other designers can see them as well.
