Site Title:
Hiking Club (working title)
Developer:
Jessica Pansegrau
Rational or Focus: For as long as I can remember, my family and I have gone on camping
trips in the summer that consisted of playing card/board games, making s'mores,
and long hikes. The time spent on those hikes are fond memories of my childhood
and instilled a love for the outdoors. My goal of having a hiking club for
elementary school students is to get them out in nature and find their own love
for the outdoors. Having a website for the club will help students and parents
stay up to date about hikes and club news.
Main Features Outline: Below the header there will be a navigation panel
down the left side of the page. The panel will have five buttons that redirect
visitors to new pages.
Content: There
will be five individual web pages. The “Home” page, this will be where
information and updates will be posted. The “Calendar” page, a monthly calendar
will be on this page with the dates of past and upcoming hikes. The “Trails”
page, an informational page describing the different hikes the club does. The “Photos”
page, pictures from past hikes will be posted. And lastly, a “Parents” page
where there will be a section listing the volunteers for hikes and a sign up
section for future hikes.
Target Audience: Elementary school students (3rd – 5th graders),
parents, and school faculty.
Design Considerations: I would like to design a navigation bar on the left
side, that way visitors can go through the site with ease and not get lost. I’m
playing around with the idea of having another navigation bar on the “Trails”
page, each trail will have a dedicated page with descriptions, pictures, maps,
and driving directions.
Limiting Factors: At the moment the only limiting factor I’m anticipating is designing the
navigation bars, but I’m sure we will be learning how to do this in class.
