Website - Week 3

The final topic that I chose for the website will be about Grade 10. Since I really like my G10 school life at ISU, I wanted to create something that will keep the memories of my class and classmates. Even though more than half of G10 school year has passed, I think it will still be a good online place to share school "gossips", memories, events, and some academic talks. Also, if this website got popular among our classmates, then I can also use the same design skills to build one for next school year :)

Before I start brainstorming for my website, I made a simple design specification.
I believe that the website design should have:

• Neat but interesting formats such as the entire website design, background, proper fonts for the content, etc.
• The font for the menu can be decorative, but the font for the content should be neat, such as (but not limited to) arial, calibri, times new roman.
• The colors for the website should not hurt readers' eyes. Contrast of black and white will be okay, but the website should avoid using bright colors like red, yellow, bright green, etc.
• Appropriate images that suit to the website
• Music if it is required, but there should be a way to stop playing so that the users can play and stop the music by themselves
• Menu that is easy to navigate with a suitable design
• Contents that are not way too small or big, and there should not be too many texts on one page

So the things that I want to include in my website are:

• Student individual photos for the background of the website
• Sign up page
• Profile - Brief profile of each student and homeroom teachers such as: name(or nickname), date of birth, email address, phone number, profile picture, etc. (If they do not want to show their identity, then I'll skip them)
• Discussion - Free discussion forum to share ideas, have discussions on any topic and to know what's going around the school
• Homework - what homework we have, including the deadlines, etc.
• Photo - anyone can put pictures
• Suggestion box - to get suggestions from people in order to improve the website
