Planning out the pages


This is a start to what could be included in the site for the Self-Guided Tour.  It has the potential of having a lot of pages.


  • Basic Tour - Highlighted in the tour that I took with the admissions office.
  • Key Places - Where visitors not taking a tour might need to go.
  • Library - On the school tour we visited each level of the library.  It could be a stand-alone tour or a 'tour-within-a-tour' as it would only be available when the library is open.
  • Computers - I need to do more research on where they all are!  And which are available to whom -  the public, just students, just students in certain courses.
  • Extras - A few of the cool things at school that weren't covered on the tour.  I am sure there are more than what I have listed.


I still need to get map files from marketing!

Next Step: Wireframe the website . . .

I wasn't sure what Paul meant by wireframe.  I was thinking it was like a plan-o-gram or storyboard.  I looked it up on Wikipedia.  I was right.

"A website wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website." ~~ Wikipedia Article

So, then I decided to do some further research and I found this at sixrevisions.com
Ultimate Guide to Website Wireframing.  I love how under 'Tools for Wireframing" he first lists

PEN AND PAPER!

I can do that!  Actually he lists a bunch of software to help with wireframing as well.  I will be spending the next couple of hours checking them out.

Stay tuned to see which way I decide to go and I may even upload some images.  You never know.
