MSIT 588 Assignment Three   

DUE THURSDAY 28 September 2006

PART ONE
in hand-written and electronic copy

This assignment asks you to write a short summary (not to exceed two pages) that asks you to compare your selected websites and how your impression of the sites compared with your classmates. For example did your classmates also agree that your personal "GOOD" website was indeed a "GOOD" one or did they consider it to be a "NOT-SO-GOOD". Click here to view the total class ratings of all websites.

Your summary should also include a short listing of thematic elements (or traits) that were commonly shared by those websites that were ranked high as well as those that we not ranked that high. Lastly, your summary could include your comments on the overall effectiveness of the web evaluation as well as mentioning any other possibilities.

PART TWO

Review the healthy food for pets website

Using your lecture notes and powerpoint slides from previous sessions create a website structure for the redesign of this website. This structure can be hand-drawn or created in Excel or Visio. In addition to creating the structure you should be naming the pages and making bullet points about which items would be contained--or in other words how do you anticipate a customer moving through the site. I would anticipate that your discussion of structure creation and navigation would last 1-2 pages in addition to the visual diagram of your site redesign.
