To produce a design methodology and technical report containing a factual based assessment of a chosen Internet site, CD-ROM and my personal group project. Report style format, paper based presentation enclosed in a folder. Below are the results of research taken out to access different multimedia designs and their internal components that enable them to compete in an aggressive environment Internet Site – The National Bank (www.nationalbank.co.nz) When creating a website for a large company the use of the waterfall methodology is required. The Steps involved in the waterfall development are: Planning (identify scope, plan development strategies and goals.) Requirements analysis (what the website should do) Design (How the website is going to work) Implementation & Testing (Using the website and seeing if it works) Support (correcting errors, improving and enhancing) This methodology was used because in order to produce an effective computer based application, particularly where the project is large and/or complex, schedules need to be met, costs controlled, quality maintained and specifications adhered to design methodologies will need to be followed. (Vehaart 2000)This is evident because of the online banking that is provided by the National Bank and there need for relevant up to date information at there website which is a large project to control without the use of Planning, Analysis and Design.Essential componentsEssential components for a website (Ruth Kastenmayer Webmaster and style guide editor at Judson College (http://home.judson.edu/styleguide/contents.html)) are:Web page independence (Who, What, When, Where)User-centered design (target audience)Ease of navigation (clear easy to follow navigation)Access speed (provide users with information they want in fewest steps)Simplicity and consistency (easy to understand, similar setup)Page context, and (where you are and where the next link is going to take you)Functionalit...
