Description of the Web Development stage for the Internet Marketing Adelaide project.
Content
- Articles- Most of the written content is in blog post articles. I've been trying to update the blog every two days. My articles are generally short, have a 1 or 2 sentence summary at the top and use dot points where possible to make them easy to read.
- Pages- The most important information that I think people will want to refer to is in pages which are linked to at the top (and one in the sidebar). My current pages are:
- Internet Marketing Plan
- Internet Marketing Tools
- Regular Internet Marketing Tasks
- Company Profiles (this is a category)
- Videos- I created a dedicated YouTube account, Web Marketing Adelaide, for videos relating to this project.
- Titles- The page titles are in the form of 'post title | blog name'
- Headings- The post and page titles are the key headings on each page
Technology
- Web Properties- Website/blog, Facebook Page, Twitter Profile
- Onsite- The blog uses the Blogger CMS
- Backend- Hosted for free by Blogger (Google owned), the domain name was registered through Google and the image and email hosting is provided by Google.
Structure
- Navigation- Horizontal top menu navigation for the most important pages plus sidebar links for other important pages
- Layout- Standard 2 column blog layout
Design
I selected a simple, free template for blogger and just went with it. I especially liked that the header is not very high so you see more content without scrolling.
Test & Improve
I haven't yet done any usability testing but would like to in the future.
