EXTRACTED FROM PENCIL WORKBOOK
amvisible.co.uk - Get noticed!
Production:
The overall production and creation of the site was done in a professional manner, all of our deadlines and criteria came together in a well presented website, designed to target the corporate sector of the market.
Website:
The websites purpose was to display our services, previous work and offer a quote service and sell our photography online.
The functionality of the photography section was called to a halt as we would really need to purchase secure server hosting space to enable online purchases. But the concept for this project is there.
Group:
Although our group only consisted of 2 group members, we found that this made the project some what easier/whilst still challenging. Having only 2 members did put a lot of pressure to create good content, design and functionality, but it enabled a much better communication relationship as all members attended each meeting and the work allocation was displaced equally.
