Well, I met with Susan B. on friday morning. We reviewed the capstone sponsor letter and she was happy to sign it. So it is official that I have a sponsor for the project.
I showed Susan some preliminary ideas for the site design and also what I have been working on for Web Standards class. This is a simple version of the site which has been helpful for me to think through content ideas, site structure and basic navigation. Susan really liked what I have done so far. It is very simple and not quite what I have in mind for the final project but could work as a jumping off point.
Once, again my lack of knoweldge of Joomla is affecting the design. I am wondering if the CMS will determine some of the layout and if decisions must be made up front for what is editable by the client and what remains static content. If photos are to be changed I have to take into consideration that the clients will not have access to photoshop so image editing will have to be simple and I am thinking perhaps a document(wireframe) with directions such as image size, dimensions, etc. for whoever takes over the website should be made...both electronically available from an admin area on the site ? and hardcopy kept with the client.
Just some thoughts.
I hope to review my PM documents for this project this weekend and start to revise them as necessary.
I would also like to assemble other layout ideas for the main page.
I am trying to locate a web hosting service with reasonable rates for RYT which is a non-profit and doesn't have much of a budget for this type of expense.
I need to check into Joomla requirements in regards to web hosting services?
Not sure if having a CMS on board with a website effects the type of service used.
