Template Team Behind
One of the critical and timely elements in the development of the Tower Web doc is the design of the home page and secondary page. The template team is responsible for creating the global navigation and, logo/banner, and layout which will be used throughout the site by all other teams. To do this they need to create Dreamweaver templates for all types of pages. The content teams are dependent on the template team to get the templates done in a timely manner so they can create the pages for their sections of the Web site.
Unfortunately, the template team has not met their deadlines and have made limited progress in the design of the site. Earlier in the semester they showed three layout ideas in class and received direction on other ideas to be explored. Since that time, however, no progress was made on the card sort to prioritize the global navigation, the logo/banner or the layout.
In order to get things back on track specific directions have been prepared with new deadlines for the team. Assignment directions for template team.
On Monday, April 4, the class period will be devoted to working on the Web documentary and the template team is to finalize their layout design and graphics. The template files are due on April 6. One way or another, the templates will be done by April 8 even if it means that the professor and her student assistant take over the design and template creation process. The time available to get the site produced continues to shorten, with only 6 weeks left before the site is to be posted, so this step needs to be completed.
