1.
Web Design Requirements Analysis
- Determine the goals for the web site design from the perspective of the user
and the business.
- Determine the user needs and target usability requirements.
- Evaluate existing versions of the site.
- Perform a competitive analysis.
- Perform user interviews and surveys.
2.
Conceptual Web Design
- Sketch out a web site design and architecture at an abstract level.
- Conduct a task analysis to find critical features.
3.
Web Design Mockups / Prototypes
- Rapidly create visual representations (web design mockups) or interactive representations
(web site prototypes) of the web site.
- Evaluate web design usability through focus groups, user tests, and walkthroughs.
- Use the evaluation results to create more web design mockups or improve the web design prototypes.
- Repeat this process (web design iteration) until the web design and usability goals are met
4.
Web Design Production
- Create the final web design product.
- Evaluate functionality through testing, quality assurance, usability
testing, and field testing.
- Use the evaluation results to improve the web design product.
- Repeat this process (production iteration) until the business goals are met.
5.
Web Site Launch and Maintenance
- Launch the website.
- Maintain and refine web design with user feedback.
- Use the feedback to create new web design requirements, and begin major web design improvements (system iteration).
Web design evaluation occurs at every stage of the process. Similar types of web design evaluation
can occur at different stages of the web design process to keep in mind the goals
of the web design project and the users' needs. And if it comes down to a choice, reduce
the scope of the web design project rather than the usability.

E-Learning continues to grow at a tremendous rate. E-Learning companies are springing up everywhere. It seems as though
you can't pick up a business or training magazine without seeing articles about
the benefits or the problems that are a result of e-Learning. The field is growing at
an amazing rate and its standards are developed constantly. So how in the world does a training department go about implementing an
e-Learning program in an organization? One way is to develop a strategy for
creating e-Learning courses that can serve as a guide or road map as you are
working your way through the chaos. Vancouver Media Productions can take you there!
