For my live client brief I am designing a website for a dance academy called 'Streetbeatz'. The owner of the company is Jessica who started up the dance school a couple of years ago. Initially the classes were only held a few days but due to popularity the company has expanded to not only after school kids dance classes but now for adults.
I had a meeting with Jess a few weeks ago to discuss what she wanted on her site. When talking it was clear that she wanted the basic (home and contact page)but the other pages that she wants to include are timetable page. Jess has just recruited a new dance teacher and so she wants a timetable to show people who's teaching which class and when, and to also specify which classes are for school clubs, team practices and for the everyone.
Two pieces of criteria that Jess wants is an image gallery to shows viewers competitions and their dance shows, I suggested maybe a competition results page so that the people already in the dance school will have something to look at.
Jess requested a comments page. She wanted the people from the dance school to be able to write comments on the site. I think that I will be able to do this however I will have to discuss with Jess how she would like to set it out because there can be some issues with this piece (people could write inappropriate text)
At this current moment Jess advertises the dance school via leaflets and has a facebook group. She has created her own design so I will not have to worry about any graphic design work, only the design of the website itself.
I feel that this will be a good site design as it is giving me a challenge, I will have to incorporate a mixture of different coding including php, flash and HTML.
