Web Development (ICA50601)

In a recent hunt for ways to write project proposals I saw a very nice article by a company called Taoti. I have delicious-ed the main two pages already, but here they are for your use.

I really suggest that you look at these articles and download a copy of the Proposal and use that for the “pre-sales” section of the web development you are undertaking.

• Taoti’s Web Project Production Methodology
• Free Web Design Resources and Articles

One of the recent activities we discussed was how we can add HTTPS to a web site to allow secure transactions to be completed.

In your own blog you are to answer the questions in the assessment item available in PDF form from the College Intranet.
