Why am I creating this web site? What will the name of the web site be? What type of web site will it be? What will my target demographic be? How do I expect to meet the needs of that demographic? What web technologies should and will I use? How much media (images, video, etc.) will be featured on my web site? How will I go about attain that media? What type of color schemes should I use for my web site? What type of typography should I use for my web site? How will I host my web site? How much do I estimate the costs of this web site to be? Who will do what on my team?

Answer each question on a blank MS Word Document. Save the document as Questionnaire. Next, you will need to create a basic wireframe of your web site. You must use MS Word to do this. Change your page orientation to landscape and use a hierarchical organization chart. You should, bare minimum, have: • • •

One (1) home page Five (5) child pages At least one (1) child page should have two (2) child pages

When finished, save the document as Wireframe. Place both files in your project folder, zip up your project folder, and upload it to EdModo.

Business Web Site Project Explanation: You will create a web site for a fictional business that provides a fictional product/service. The name of the business and the product/service is up to you. However, they are both subject to teacher approval and must be school‐appropriate. If I deem that your business name or product/service is inappropriate, you will have to come up with another. Activity #2: Planning You need to set up a folder for your personal business web site. The name of the folder should be the name of the business (ex: I run a web site for Coca Cola, ipso facto the name of the folder would be Coca Cola). Inside your folder should be the following: 1. Assets folder 2. Eight HTML documents a. There does not need to be anything on these documents yet, but you still need to have them b. They should be named using the same naming scheme you used for your wireframe Ex: index.html

history.html

products.html

aboutus.html

This is your wireframe: So the HTML documents in your folder would be: • • • •

Index.html History.html Products.html Aboutus.html

When you are finished, all of the above files should be in a folder with your questionnaire and wireframe. Zip up the folder and upload it to EdModo.

history.html

products.html

aboutus.html

This is your wireframe: So the HTML documents in your folder would be: • • • •

Index.html History.html Products.html Aboutus.html

When you are finished, all of the above files should be in a folder with your questionnaire and wireframe. Zip up the folder and upload it to EdModo.

However, they are both subject to teacher approval and must be school‐appropriate. If I deem that your business name or product/service is inappropriate, you will have to come up with another. Activity #3: Design It is now time to create your web site. Use the knowledge you have gained from Dreamweaver to incorporate basic elements to your web site (text, formatting, CSS, etc.) Remember that visual appearance is an important factor in your web site! Your web site should be the product of hard work and effort. The less effort you put in, the worse it will be. When you are finished, all of the above files should be in a folder with your questionnaire and wireframe. Zip up the folder and upload it to EdModo.

Laser Light Solutions, LLC.is a company that performs laser treatment of pigmented dermal lesions, to include: sun spots, age spots, telangiectasia (blood vessels near the surface of the skin), the removal of unwanted tattoos, as well as the treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus). We offer state-of-the-art technology and quality service to meet the needs of our clients. Laser Light Solutions, LLC. will make available gentle and effective diminished skin pigmentation at a fraction of the cost and time of other removal methods. The laser of choice is the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, which is approved for multiple dermal applications. This laser radiates the light of specific wave lengths in high peak energy pulse, and in ultra-short nanosecond, the light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the pigment and results in an instantaneous blast. The pigment particles are shattered into fragments, parts of them will be bounced out of the skin and the other parts will be split into tiny particles that can be engulfed by phagocytes and then eliminated by lymphatic system. In this Q-switched mode, output powers of 250 megawatts and pulse durations of 10 to 25 nanoseconds are achieved. This results in expedited treatments lasting no longer than 15 minute sessions.

Mission Laser Light Solutions, LLC. is committed to providing men and women affordable, non-invasive cosmetic laser services in a safe and professional setting. This laser technology is highly effective for the removal of unwanted tattoos, the treatment of dermal pigmented lesions due to sun-damage, age spots, and telangiectasia (blood vessels near the surface of the skin), as well as, the treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus). •

•

Laser treatment of tattoos: o Lasers are aimed at the unwanted discoloration and are used to shatter darkened dermal pigment into particles that are cleared by the body's lymphatic system. Laser treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus): o The nail and the nail bed are heated with laser energy resulting in a decrease of nail fungus and an increase in the growth of clear nail. The treatment involves passing the laser beam over the infected nails and surrounding skin. This process will be repeated until enough energy has reached the nail bed.

Report: Apple working on an ‘iWatch’ This has been an idea popular with many Apple fans, and has only recently been realized as a possibility due to some comments by select people familiar with the company. The concept of a wearable computer has been a long‐admired idea in the world of technology. This idea of Apple’s is going to compete with other ‘computer‐watch’ devices, along with Google’s “Google Glasses” device currently in the development process. The wearable sensors market has been booming recently, with different sensors for physical activity and heart rate, etc. In the recent past, these type devices have usually been ones that give notifications to the user of texts or phone calls. Many people are hoping that Apple will kick this technology to the next level, and bring more functionality to it, including the hope that science fiction concepts, such as the “video‐enabled two‐way wrist radio” type devices that are a form of communication in the spy world, will finally be brought into reality with Facetime or Skype apps. As always, Apple and other companies must be careful with new tech, making sure that it is not to fancy, so that the “coolness” won’t be the only thing that keeps the device popular, since products that only rely on “coolness” for money usually die out pretty quickly. Hopefully, the functionality and usefulness of this product, if Apple is serious about this idea, will be plentiful enough to maintain its popularity.

New iPhone app vows to fix e-mail clutter United States postal service said they will no longer deliver mail on Saturdays. Apple has made a Mailbox App for the iPhones. People use their email like a to‐do list. The app's solution is to quickly get things out of your inbox that aren't urgent so you can better focus on the tasks that are important right now. It does this with four main gestures. Mailbox is a highly likely iPhones app for better organizing your e‐ mail. It uses swipe gestures to help quickly clear your inbox and focus on important tasks. The app's killer feature is a snooze button, letting you ignore e‐mails until later. There has already been so much demand with a wait list. When you download the app, you can reserve a spot on the list and the app will show you how many people are ahead of you. Once it's in wider use, Mailbox will likely add more features, support additional e‐mail customers and develop an app for Android devices. Underwood imagines an app that manages not just e‐mail accounts, but the inbox for any service with internal messages, such as Facebook.

Dad pays daughter $200 to quit Facebook Boston dad is paying his daughter $200 to quit Facebook for five months "Facebook Deactivation Agreement" was signed by Paul Baier, 14‐year‐old Rachel Baier posted the agreement on his blog Tuesday. In the signed agreement, his daughter agrees to deactivate Facebook from Monday until June 26 which would be in the summer. In return, he'll give her $50 in April and the remaining $150 in June. Baier gets access to change her password and deactivate her account. His daughter's response on the line asking what she will use the money for she said Stuff. One man post on his status and said “idiot Why not try something called 'parenting'. It's more difficult than bribery but will more beneficial to your daughter in the long run”. One of his friends Kent Wellington said “He is a good guy and good parent. Regardless, there's nothing wrong with a parent being proactive with their kids in the area of social media," Wellington wrote. I'm sure the dialog that leads up to the agreement was as valuable as the contract.” Raven Bailey
