Background
The South-east Eat Street (SES), is an online shop specifically selling take-away street foods from different countries. They have contracted you to develop a website for this shop. You have been provided with the following initial and technical specifications.
Memo: Website Requirements
From: South-east Eat Street (SES), Senior Management
To : Think Wise Engineering R&D Consultants
Specification
Design and develop a website. The idea is to provide information to buyers visiting the shop. The goal is to allow buyers to obtain an overview of the shop layout and to find details of the food they would like to buy.
Resources
Resources such as images and details of opening hours can be found in ProResource.ZIP. The content of the ZIP file is:
1.Four folders named Indian, Chinese, Mexican and Japanese. Each folder contains images relating to the different types of food indicated by the name of its folder.
2.A text file Food_List.txt contains the names of the food corresponding to each of the image from each folder. You need to use these names as the official description of the food on your web site.
3.A text file Time.txt containing the time-table of opening times for the shop.
4.Logo.jpg – an image of the logo of the shop.
5.Floor_Plan.jpg – floor layout of the shop.
General Requirements
The managers of SES insist that the following requirements must be adhered to:
1.Each webpage of the website must display the SES logo.
2.Do not change the description of the food. Do not rename the filenames of any of the images.
3.All images of each food must be presented to the visitor. This can be done within one webpage or distributed across several web pages. The idea is to ensure that visitors are made aware of the complete selection of items available for them to visit.

4.The images are to be used as it is. You can resize the images retaining the original aspect ratio, but do not crop or edit (e.g. recolour, touch up, sharpen, etc.) or rename the images in any way.
5.Generate a separate page providing the opening hours. The details are found in the Time.txt file.
6.Text description for each food is not provided. You can provide your own ‘dummy’ text to demonstrate the functionality of your web page design.
Example of Users Interacting with the Website
The buyer to the website will be greeted by a welcome message and the following layout of the floor plan of the shop. The buyer clicks on any of the food stall (ovals). It should bring up details of the specific hall selected with relevant foods. The buyer clicks on any of the images of the foods to obtain further information on that food type. In addition, if the buyer selects an option to display opening hours, a separate page should appear to provide this information. Note this is the basic requirement, it is up to you to implement other details e.g. instructions, navigational control, etc.

|
Visualize the page design for your site by sketching a number of page layouts
|
|
for different information levels of the site. For example, sketch the main
|
|
page, a secondary page, and a content page. You do not have to be concerned
|
|
with the exact look of the elements, but be prepared to indicate the main
|
|
components of the pages, such as headings, navigation cues, link sets, text
|
|
areas, and so on.
|
|
Start to organize your site. Create a visual diagram that indicates the main
|
|
page, section pages, content pages, and so on. Indicate the links between the
|
|
pages. Indicate whether you will provide alternate navigation choices such as
|
|
a table of contents and site map.
|
|
* Your figures and sketches can be hand drawn on paper or created using a
|
|
drawing application. To submit hand drawn sketches, please scan or use a
|
|
digital camera to capture the originals.

Assessment details for: Practical Assessment 1 (20 marks).
What You Need to Do
To complete the given project specified in the Background section above, you are to create a prototype of a stand-alone website for a desktop computer. Design your website to be rendered by a web browser to fit a desktop computer display between 1024x768 to 1280x1024 pixels. The site must have pages that display at least three levels of information. The contents and resources have been provided in the above specification. The website will be assessed for cohesiveness, accessibility, design and development effort.
The prototype stand-alone website should be created progressively as specified by each week’s activities. These activities are to be documented and reported in Portfolio 1. It is understandable that by the end of Portfolio 1, there are specific techniques or skills that remain to be presented and taught to you. For all purpose and intention of Practical Assessment 1, your knowledge up to this point will be sufficient for you to complete a prototype stand-alone website for a desktop computer. You will be marked according to your knowledge demonstrated at this point. You will not be penalised for not demonstrating techniques that have not been presented or taught to you by the end of Portfolio 1 activities.
Use any combination of HTML5 and CSS3 to develop this website. Remember to indicate which desktop browser (i.e. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) you are targeting as the main working platform. Do not use Rapid Application Prototyping (RAD) tools or any other type of scripting languages or services, e.g. Python, Lua, AJAX, Dreamweaver, etc. You are required to demonstrate your knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 independently and without the assistance of automated development and visual design tools. Your website should be developed to be capable of launching directly from localised desktop computers. That is, the landing page (i.e. the first page or top page) of your website can be launched by calling or opening main.html or index.html directly from within a web browser. No web server is required for Practical Assessment 1 and 2.
What to Submit
Submit one ZIP file folder to your Moodle course site online submission portal for this course. Please name this ZIP folder as PRACASSN_1.ZIP. This ZIP folder should contain the following:
All necessary files, images, scripts, coding and resources should reside in a single main folder. It is up to you to organise the files and sub-folders within the main folder. Ensure that all your scripts and coding is stand-alone and portable. That is, your marker or instructor should be able to run your scripts from the type of browser you have specified by clicking on the main.html or index.html start-up file. The web browser you specified should render your mark-up and scripts without problems.
