Assessment Task 1: Written Questions
Provide answers to all of the questions below:
1. Summarise the principles of web analysis and design.
Simplicity: The over-designed website may not work. Putting too many elements on the page may
lead to distracting visitors from the main purpose of your website. Simplicity always works in an
effective web page design.
Consistency: Consistency in website design matter a lot. Attention should be given to match design
elements throughout each of the pages. It can be understood that fonts, sizes, headings, sub-
headings, and button styles must be the same throughout the website.
Typography and readability: Design still rules the website as it provides users the desired
information. Since search engine crawlers are very much familiar with this data, it becomes an
integral part of SEO activities. Typography should be kept visually appealing and readable for
visitors, along with the tricky use of keywords, meta-data, and other SEO-sensitive elements.
Mobile compatibility: Keeping in mind the ever-growing usage of smartphones, tablets, and
phablets, web design must be effective for various screens.
Colour pallete and imagery: A perfect color combination attracts users while a poor combination can
lead to distraction. This necessitates one to pick a perfect color palette the website which can create
a pleasing atmosphere, thus leaving a good impact on visitors.
Easy loading: Websites should not take too much time to load. So take care of it by optimizing
image sizes, combing code into a central CSS or JavaScript file as it reduces HTTP requests. Also,
compress HTML, JavaScript, and CSS for enhanced loading speed.
Easy navigation: Study shows that visitors stay more time on the websites having easy navigation.
For effective navigation, one should consider creating a logical page hierarchy, using bread scrums,
and designing clickable buttons.
Communication: The ultimate purpose of the visitors is to get information, and if the website is able
to communicate visitors efficiently, most probably they would spend more time on your website.
2. Define programming control and design structures, including object-oriented programming.
A control structure is a block of programming that analyses variables and chooses a direction in
which to go based on given parameters. The term flow control details the direction the program
takes (which way program control "flows"). Hence it is the basic decision-making process in
computing; It is a prediction.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model in which programs are
organized around data, or objects, rather than functions and logic. An object can be defined as a
data field that has unique attributes and behavior. Examples of an object can range from physical
entities, such as a human being that is described by properties like name and address, down to
small computer programs, such as widgets. This opposes the historical approach to programming
where emphasis was placed on how the logic was written rather than how to define the data within
the logic.

3. Explain the following web programming concepts:

a. Authentication
Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who
or what it declares itself to be. Authentication technology provides access control for
systems by checking to see if a user's credentials match the credentials in a database of
authorized users or in a data authentication server.Users are usually identified with a user
ID, and authentication is accomplished when the user provides a credential, for example a
password, that matches with that user ID. Most users are most familiar with using a
password, which, as a piece of information that should be known only to the user, is called a
knowledge authentication factor. Other authentication factors, and how they are used for
two-factor or multifactor authentication (MFA), are described below.

b. Web Security
It is a system of protection measures and protocols that can protect your website or web
application from being hacked or entered by unauthorized personnel. This integral division
of Information Security is vital to the protection of websites, web applications, and web
services. Anything that is applied over the Internet should have some form of web security
to protect it. There are different types of technologies available for maintaining the best
 security standards. Some popular technical solutions for testing, building, and preventing
threats include:Black box testing tools,Fuzzing tools,White box testing tools,Web application
firewalls (WAF),Security or vulnerability scanners, and Password cracking tools.

c. hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)

d. session management

e. stateless programming

Assessment Task 2: Website project
Complete the following activities:

1. Develop a Website Design Report.

Review the company information in the Case Study document.

Once you are clear about the purpose of the website and its functionality requirements, identify the
following:
 Purpose and expectations: The key audience & their needs, the purpose, expectations,
and functionality of the website.
 Functionality: describe the entry points and links.
 Architectural requirements: Consider architectural requirements, page accessibility to
appropriate user and logical flow of contents while creating mock-ups. Discuss suitable software
required to build the site (front end and back end). Discuss the four languages to be used. Data
storage requirements must be designed and created to suit the website requirements using a
suitable server-side language.
 Website structure: Describe the main structural requirements.
 SQL Database: Describe how it will be set up.
 Platform: Discuss platform alternatives. Describe the operating systems on which the website
can be viewed
 Website design: The design principles as per W3C standards: Architectural requirements
(sitemaps, wireframes, mock-ups), prototypes, data storage requirements, and structure. Define
user interface design requirements. Produce detailed design specifications of graphical interface
design which can help you to slice design into HTML and CSS easily and effectively.
 Navigation: Describe the functions of the navigation bars.
 Prototype: Produce a prototype (sitemap, mock-ups, and wireframes) of the user interface of the
site to depict pages’ layout, arrangements of the website’s contents (interface elements
navigations) and how they work together.
 Design the hierarchy of the website.

Use the Website Design Report Template to guide your work.

2. Create the website

Create the website using HTML, CSS, client side and server-side scripting and your selected
database as per your design specifications. Produce effective and efficient coding to meet the
technical requirements identified.
3. Test the Website
Perform testing of developed modules and their integration to ensure their accuracy and validity.

Test the website against the business requirements. Identify and rectify website functional
problems and resolve any bugs in the code. Ensure that the dynamic content functions according to
specified requirements.

Take a screenshot of the HTML5 Validation.

Validate the document in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers to check cross-
browser compatibility (it renders correctly in different browsers).
Take a screenshot of the page in each browser. Save these as Google Chrome (Firefox, etc.)
Compatibility Screen Shot.

Create a new Word document and place your screenshots, with a brief description of each, in it.
Save this document as Website Tests.

4. Complete your Website Design Report.

When you have completed and checked the website, go back to your report and make any changes
to it that reflect how you created the website.

5. Submit the following along with draft an email to the client (your assessor).
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite,
business-like) style.
It should introduce and summarise the contents of the attachments.

The email text should give a link to the website and ask the client for their feedback.

Attach your Website Design Report and website tests to the email.

6. Make any requested changes to the website.

Your assessor will respond to your submissions with some feedback. If their feedback requires you
to make changes to the website and your report, do this and resubmit them.
