The 24 Hour Web Challenge

Now that christmas is over and done, I've gotta admit, I'm getting lazy! Very Lazy! So it's time to shake things up a bit. I've set my self a little exercise. A very good friend of mine is allowing me to create an online C.V. for her, and the spec has sat gather dust on my desk for some time now. so to ensure I get it done and it is never pushed aside again I'm going to complete it this weekend. Within 24 hours. Since its now 1am I starting this a tad late but still mores the fun and stargazing with my housemate (don't ask) took up my night. So I'm going to pop in every hour until this project is finished (apart from the one's where I'm sleeping, which will probably come first!) and we're going to see how a website really progress when it is the sole focus of your time and resources.

Right, now I've had my last meeting with my friend, clock starts NOW:

16:00 - Specification

Mission Statement
The website is primarily to show professionals in the Chemistry field that you are the person they want to employ. It will also show you as a person and help potential employers get a feel for you and your professionalism. The site must also be accessible to all ages, cultures and disabilities. Therefore the final abstract for the project is outlined as:

“To design a professional, one-page C.V. showing personal attributes and achievements which is to be presented in a professional and striking manner which is accessible to all.”

Target Audience
The function of the website can be separated into two groups, interest from the professional chemistry industry and interest from general employers.

Now we have a definition of what the visitors will be doing with the website we can start building up an exact specification for what exactly needs to be done. From the analysis of the documentation provided I can ascertain that the requirements for the project are:

• · Must be accessible and conform to modern standards
• · Must conform to standard and advance globalization
• · Must be usable and work multi-browser
• · Must be clean, professional, yet themed
• · Must contact a contact method
• · Must not be too large and if possible all content should be on one page
