meeting wk 3

After discussing the nature of the site, agIdeas profile, we decided to build the site using HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. We decided against using flash, as the agIdeas website is ultra simple, clean cut and does not use flash. Based on the client's brief, we reasoned that a flash-based website was out of line of the brief.

The website is to include a gallery, possibly utilising the jQuery library for enhanced visual applications, a submission page with javascript validation and php server-side scripting for uploads and automated e-mailing.

the website will also include some sort of collaboration activity that will push more involvement from users and aims to get more submissions into the competition. the idea is also add some measurability to the competition with a target number of applicants to submit designs.

we have also decided in this meeting that:

Bernie will be taking care of client liaison, site layout.

Charlie will be taking usability testing and information architecture.

Aleks will be designing/building the site.

FOR NEXT WEEK: Information architecture and card-sort to be done! And flatten out some more details re: design ideas and collaboration activity on the site.

Meeting Time: 56 mins
Voice Recorded: No
