WEBSITES

**Unit question:**
What makes an effective Web Design?


 * Pre-Unit exercise (if any) **

= INVESTIGATION  = 1.) Here is a website that is used for 50 year old people and older. This website I think is a little bit boring because it doesn't have that much excitement on the homepage and personally I judge how good the website is by how creative and colorful the homepage is.

2.)

** Evidence shown here to the problem! **
3.) a. The things that you need to shop online is money (of course), computer or iPad and etc... electricity and internet. b. The shop that you are ordering online from needs to show evidence to total security for both you and the shop. The shop also needs to show some sort of guarantee such as shipping will be received after 24 hours or something like that. c. Hackers are able to steel your money if you haven't signed out and then they go onto your bank account on your computer and then send your money to their bank account. Or they can find out your password and your user name and then send your money from your bank account to theirs. Hackers are able to get your password and username if you see an email that says something like," your password number at your banking account has expired." If you open it and then you type in your old password number and username and then type in your supposed new password they are able to steel your money by using your password and username. d. You sign out when ever you are done using or looking at your bank account. You can make sure that you don't buy things through your email. Instead you do it through Internet instead through the email. You don't tell anyone your credit card number. You don't tell anyone your password or username.

The current situation/problem:
= How can shopping online be made effective? = This means what things can make a website made so that people want to explore through it.

**Design 1**
====I would have loved to use this design to create a website but it was just too complicated and not simple. It has a very consistent layout and has a proper use of pictures and also has the right amount of pages used in the design. (A homepage, 2 pages about what you need to shop online, 1 page about what the shop needs to offer this service, 1 page about hacker’s methods and 1 page about security measures)====

** Design 2 ** ====I like this design best because it has a consistent layout and it is very simple unlike design 1. Even though it has a consistent layout it is not simple at all. This one also has a fair use of pictures and has the right amount of pages for each of the things required. (A homepage, 2 pages about what you need to shop online, 1 page about what the shop needs to offer this service, 1 page about hacker’s methods and 1 page about security measures) And for all these reasons **I chose this design!5**====





**Design** ** 3 ** ====I like this design other than that it doesn't really have a consistent layout. It is simple just like design 2 but as I said before it does not have a consistent layout. It has a fair use of picture just like all the other designs and it has the right amount of pages mentioned in the design specification. (A homepage, 2 pages about what you need to shop online, 1 page about what the shop needs to offer this service, 1 page about hacker’s methods and 1 page about security measures)====

= EVALUATE  =

Overall I think I did pretty well with my product because I have concealed lots of things that I needed for my website. For my product I had a homepage, 2 pages about what you need to shop online, a page about what the shop needs to offer, 2 pages about hacker's methods and a page about security measures. The website has a consistent layout and an appropriate use of pictures. You can see the table below to see what it has and what it does not have! Anyway next time I should state the problem, explain why I chose a curtain design against all the other designs, and have logical steps to the plan and next time I should include a timeline in my plan.
