You are creating a new Web site, Englishcollectors.com, for an existing company. This company specializes in importing goods from
England. It sells antiques (furniture, objects of interest), art, clothing, food, and so forth from England to anglophiles
worldwide. The company not only has products for sale, it also offers a finding service for items of interest.
Consider business design goals for the English-collectors.com site and write a storyboard.
Given the information below, write a short description of the steps you would take to plan a Web site that:
-
Appeals to an audience interested in antiques, art, clothing, and food from England. Hint: How would you search for related
sites and areas of interest? Give three sites, with a short explanation of why they would be useful in determining your market
niche.
-
Offers products for sale as well as searching services, including a database of finds. Hint: What front-end and back-end
concerns will you have?
-
Stores information sent from users. Employees will sift through this information and respond to requests via email. Again, what
issues will you have to consider?
-
Contains information concerning news particular to the United Kingdom, sports scores (soccer/football, cricket), the time of
day in England, and news feeds. Go on the Web and report at least three sites of interest that you could incorporate into your
site as links, areas of interest, and even as partners to a portal site.
-
Allows users to navigate freely around the site.
