Continuous Improvement
Lots of feedback, thank you!

Just some of…

… things that could be improved (for most students)

Like to see website examples from previous years

Introduce Javascript earlier in course
More livecoding in lectures
Piazza forum posts as assignment blur signal to noise
Lab activities in later weeks could cover more practical web building
content
MOOC could be extended to cover more of the later course content
Assignment specifications ‘single-sourced enough’
Partch hard to use, suggestions about using Github

 Future of your website…

There are basically three things you can

do with your website now:

Save your website files for later

Continue to develop your website
Find a webhost to put your website online

 Future of your website…

Save your website for later

Before you save your website files for

long term storage review all your
comments to ensure they are thorough –
you need to understand them later!

10
 Future of your website…

Continue to develop your website

Now that you know how to create a

website, why not keep adding new
features and content as you have time?
Create new text, media and functionality
to further develop your subject.

11
 Future of your website…

Find a web host to put your website online

You can put your website online for little or no money with
some hosts. These will offer only basic services but are an
ideal way to get started. Usually you get an extension domain
name.

Example extension domain name:

wordpress/mywebsite.html

If you want to build a shopping site, some places like AWS will
support you to do it for little or no cost if you sell on their
platform.

 Future of your website…

Find a web host to put your website online

Mainstream web hosting companies are a robust solution for

commercial websites:

Select a domain name (you might need to be creative since it is

hard to find a good name) with an annual fee

Pay for web hosting services with a separate annual fee
