Meet Mr. Orange

OK, we've decided we want to start a web site and now have a few ideas as to what it might be about.

Now to refine some of those ideas and start on some real planning.

Meet Mr. Orange, the star of the show...

Mr. Orange is the subject character I have used in a number of animations and clips as part of a course in 2006/2007.

There is now quite a collection of material, ranging from written items to full Quicktime movie files. I'm now hoping, through writing these short articles, to develop a web site to hold this material.

And in that statement we have the first steps towards writing a web site specification and answering a key question:

• What is the purpose for the web site?

A site specification is prepared in order to answer this and a number of other key questions to help guide the design process and to make life easier.

Becoming lost in the detail of coding a web site is all too easy and having a specification can keep you, the designer on track.

So, lets look further at what goes into a site specification.
