Standards
This section contains the description of the minimum standards to be used for the assignment. Groups must comply with these standards when defining the specific requirements of the assignment as well as when implementing it.
1) The four pages (home page, product page, shopping cart (or check out), and contact/about page) in your site must show the contents without any errors. From the products (shopping) page, a buyer should be able to purchase the items she selects. After purchasing, the items will be moved to shopping cart. Note that shopping cart (check out) page will serve as a rather ONLY design purpose and does not need to function as an actual site.
2) The pages must include images, graphics, and charts (or graphs) for your prodcuts or services. The images can be borrowed from the Web. Note that some images may be copyrighted. So, do not copy very obvous images (e.g., NIKE shoes).
3) Important: Record the each step of your project in the writing and screenshots chronologically. Save them to “Project Process Documentation”. See the samples in the attachment.
4) Contact/About page: show your name (or Alias) clearly. Business address, business phone, email, and Google map for location.
