For 2C.P4: learners should prepare assets (by gathering assets and creating them, if required), and list the sources for ready-made assets. At least four assets should be included, such as graphic images, audio clips and animations, as outlined in their designs. They should demonstrate an awareness of the purpose of the website. For level 1, as a minimum, learners should prepare their assets with guidance. Learners should include at least two assets in their websites.
For 2C.M3: learners should prepare their assets and content for the website which has considered the user requirements of the website. All ready-made assets should be fully referenced in a sources table, with enough detail for another person to individually obtain the assets used.
For 2C.P5: learners should use appropriate website authoring software develop their website using appropriate tools/techniques. They should demonstrate an awareness of the purpose and the website should be based on their designs. Learners should have developed a website that includes at least eight interlinked web pages with:
● at least four different assets
● internal and external hyperlinks
● text
● at least one table
● forms
● menus
● colour schemes and styles.
For level 1, as a minimum, learners should have developed a website, with guidance, which includes at least four interlinked web pages, with text, a table, hyperlinks and two assets. For 2C.M4: learners should improve their website, taking account of usability and user requirements. Learners should include interactive components that make use of simple client-side scripting, e.g. JavaScript code that displays the date and time. An example of improving usability would be consistent colour schemes and styles in all web pages (using a method like cascading style sheets).
For 2C.P6: learners will be expected to follow their test plans (as defined in their design) and test the functionality of their website, and check that it is fit for purpose. Learners are likely to experience technical difficulties as they develop their website. Learners will be expected to make the necessary repairs to their website. It is important that learners make appropriate comments on their designs and test plans about any issues they discover, and how they have resolved them. For level 1, as a minimum, learners should have tested the website for functionality and fitness for purpose. For this activity they will have needed guidance.
For 2C.M5: learners should test the functionality of the interactivity features of the website. They should also test that the website meets the user requirements. Learners should complete user-experience testing, with the help of a test user. Learners should record this feedback as part of the testing process. While considering the feedback, they should keep the user requirements of the website in mind. Learners should use their feedback and test results to improve the website.
For 2C.D3: teachers should recognise that the process of developing and testing a website is an iterative process. When making refinements to their websites, learners should take into account their test results and feedback from the ‘client’. Learners should refine their website using tools and techniques to cater for accessibility requirements and performance enhancements. For instance, learners could use: ● alternative text tags, text-to-speech to improve accessibility for users with hearing or visual impairments ● optimising assets to improve how quickly the website presents to the audience; if not appropriately compressed, video, animation and graphics can slow a website.
