What is a brochure-style web site?

Brochure-style sites are abundant on the web—the format gets its name because these sites often start from a print brochure as the basis for the site. Basic pages usually include: home, contact us, products (or services), FAQs, about us (or mission), and related sites (links of interest).

Objective and requirements

To: ART 307 web site designer

From: Bob Thebuilder

Re: Web site commission

Thank you for accepting the request to design a web site for my homeowners association, Pottersville. I would like you to apply your experience as a resident to the design of a basic, 5-page web site for my residential community.

What is the purpose of the web site and the user demographic?
The purpose of the web site is two-fold: to interest new students in signing up for my course and to inform registered students of the basic information for their course.

What is the content for the web site?
General association info (home page), calendar, rules and regulations page, picture gallery, and contact page.

What other functionality (beyond content delivery) must the web site have?
The contact page must have a mechanism for collecting inquiries.

What adjectives could be used for my web site?
Structured, peaceful, serene, stable.

Who are my competitors?
I will leave it to you to evaluate model web sites and to design a web site that is comparably functional and offers an acceptable design. Share your aspirational web sites using the Diigo Art 307 group bookmark "homeowners".

What are the goals of the site and how will it be judged?
Be sure you have read and understand the assignment and objectives. Review the accompanying rubric to understand how the project will be assessed.
