Last days....

The semester is winding down and we are trying to finish up the website so that we can include the link in our final e-portfolios. Other than that, we are just working to finish up the e-portfolios so that all of us can make A's to finish out the semester strong! :)

This year has been a wonderful experience and I have learned so much from the strengths of my other team members. I have met many wonderful people and I hope to continue to use what I learned in this class in the future. I would not have picked a better group to work with. I wish every one the best on their finals and I hope every one has a wonderful summer!

We're on the Homestretch!

This week was slightly laid-back as a result of not having class. However, we still had a lot of work that needed to be done, which is why we had three group meetings. We needed to organize the links, create template files, work on the menu buttons, talk to the Little Miss Sunshines about their clipart, and finish our web portfolios. I am happy to say that we ended up accomplishing a good amount of these things.

We organized the website links on Monday. The main links will be "Home", "About Us", "Need Help?", "Ways to Help", and "Additional Information". Underneath "About Us", we will include "About ASH", "Statistics", and "Testimonials". Underneath "Need Help?" we will include "How ASH Can Help" and "Links to Other Sites". Underneath "Ways to Help" we will have "Donate", "Volunteer", "Golf Tournament", and "Other Fundraisers". Finally, underneath "Additional Information", we will have "Contact Information", "Board Member Names", and "FAQ". The actual titles of these links will probably change but the content will be the same.

Crystal is still working hard with Andrew from B-Dub on creating template files that will make it extremely easy for Beth to update the website. I saw what it's going to look like, and I can tell that it is going to be an amazing help for the Anderson Sunshine House.

We talked to the Little Miss Sunshines this week and got their clipart. We have also received the fundraiser page that Lauren from the Little Miss Sunshines made, and it looks great!

Things are really starting to come together. I am very excited to see the finished product that we create for the Anderson Sunshine House!

Looking ahead...

This week, we were required as a group to do a presentation to let the class know what we had done so far for the Anderson Sunshine House and what we plan to do in the future. I thought each presentation was very helpful because it let us know what ideas the other groups had and gave us an idea of how to make a very successful website.

Next week we plan to meet in the library as a group and possibly with other groups, to get started on completing the website for the Anderson Sunshine House. In particular we will be working on creating templates, organizing links, usability testing and creating a manual on how to work the website. We were very happy to learn that Beth had picked our layout for the website and we look forward to working with all of the other groups to produce a final website that will fulfill the needs of the Anderson Sunshine House.

final design

Hey ya'll,

This was a pretty exciting week for our group, Beth Cribbe would like our layout to be the main layout of the web page. There is still a lot left to do in the next four weeks before the design is completed. We will be working on our presentation over the next couple of days to present our web design to the 9:05 class. We are excited to incorporate all other groups ideas to make the website exactly what the Anderson Sunshine House is looking for. We are going to present a couple of ideas concerning how we should set up the links and other similar technical details, so we ask you if you have any ideas please leave a message on our blog where it will be easy for us to have a discussion among the two classes. Each member of our group is working diligently to summarize our personal section of the proposal for the presentation. I'm sure we will have a lot more to discuss in the up coming weeks as the final design will be well underway. We hope everyone has a good week.
