HOW DO U FIND THIS SITE?
(i didn’t find..ms ester told me about it..maybe she’s from that era)
WELL… that site is a site about fashion, and i’m NEVER starting any work here without references and research!!!
so..im first so gonna comment on ‘uncle billy’s’ fact that aunties that target THIS FASHION…well i don’t think most of them know how to even on the computer XD. then agian i’m agreeing with him that budget customers do visit there.
somthing that i will want to share is that, little blogs that is selling clothes and garments online, also known as blogshops, they too check up on OUT DATED garments tat appears in ” this fashion” . this can greatly help them avoid themselves from making the same mistakes and create such a turning-off website.(maybe the web designers aren’t taught well enough)
maybe my mum, will be the kind that aim that kind of sites if she ever know how to type in a address in internet explorer.

WHAT ARE THE GOOD ATTRIBUTES OF THE SITE?
WHAT ARE THE BAD ATTRIBUTES OF THE SITE?
the first time i see that page on the screen in lecture..”WA-PIANG_EH!@%&*”
is what that went through immediately in my head.
Because of its pretty-fast loading speed, users that visited it might want to explore it further if they don’t really mind the uglyness of it.
but again seriously.. its PLAIN and SIMPLE. make me feel as a web design student, i can do even better that them who has a shop as a business product.
The Colors are not well organised and planned.. its very bad that it has only a monotonal font color. i get pretty annoyed when scrolling sweeping throuhg that page, show no sense of professionalism and effort.
Blur customer like my mum will probably say its a messy website all over the palce and then she shout for me and ask :” ah boi ah, what did i press ah? y so UGLY?, faster faster close close close close close!”
It. . simply… SUCKs.. . .
week 3 continue….

Site-specific Profile
First time visitors,new to my organization and the site. offline customers that are familiar to the company but the site. returning visitors that is both familiar with my organization and my site.
what will you do with your website. week 3
- Although websites can grow very complex, they begin with very simple questions
DETERMINING DIRETIONS
why does your organization need a website?
A website to a organization is like having a walking encyclopedia of the company
where it
.
Every organization of course needs a website!
it has to be there for viewers to look into the organizaions activities,
events, and products if its some business company.
In every case, a website to a country can be a means of product
publicity, it promotes the company and viewers that visit it will think
“WA this company.. so high class ah…have web site to it..hmmm”
then. more condideration will be spared and more time will be spent on
the website.
A good example i will give is that ‘ Blizzards Entertainment’…
their website is one of my greatly sought after updates..
their organization that has a Firm and attention catching website that their web
and the products speak of each other. they move on with each new products.
they didnt even have to advertise. they grow fast and furiously. XP
SImilarly i want my organization to have a website to keep my company growing and expanding.
why will your visitors need this website?
they need it because my organization cannort attend to millions of people at a time.
having a web helps my organization to answer to questions from the probable viewers.
and they can post questions to ask around. they can see it online and nort coming
down to my personal organization to search for answers.
and guess what, about 2/3 of the world people search the net , check their mails, search for entertainment and education research on the web most of the time…so they will fumble to my web site..( hmm who knows) 
Describe what your website willl do or be
Its wise to step back and ask why you need a website. And what that really means is asking “What is my website for?”
My website will preferably Help me and since its for me, its for people to know me
and my whatever products and whatever im doing..
Has a enormous search engine and a regularly updated one. like lets say the best daily if its a busy one im dealing with. It has to be interactive and fun with every clicks made.
its must also present my style and image. it will be a website that when my mom sees, she bugs me to open it again ( she didnt know how to switch on a computer, just know the main plug has to be off). and that my classmates see it, they add it to their favourites. and one that viewers see it . they start spreading to other people.
SETTING GOALS
Do different people in your organization have different goals?
yes definitely, they are from different profession and having each called a Organization, it simply means a group of people that are from different places comes together to work.

What are your goals for this site?
Fishing back again!!
new discovery this week!!!!
web safe color palette~~ its developed by a few programmers that dosen’t even have a sense of design. and its used as some web developers has concers about other viwers that has lower ends cmputer that has some lousy graphic cards that view things in 256 colour or known as a 8 bit comp.
well its almost dead in todays context.
Please la… who still have those computer that works in nowday’s NTUC counter? thsoe 8 bit running computer? wel if no so, its pretty much dead..
i remembered that the last time i see a 256 colour comp was at my primary school. ..er. . .dunno where…
COMMOM FONTS IN MAC AND WINDOWS PC….
new times roman
ariel…
San
etc etc…>> okay i tell u what, open your Microsoft words… see whats under the windows default… those are the ones.( contributed by a computer geek.)
What is page loading time and how it affects ur design….
interested to know? u experienced it im sure…. click a link.. and it takes longer than coffee making time , to open itself..
page loading time means the time needed to load a web page fully.. the slowest i know it should be would be 1-3 seconds or else any interested reader will still leave the page unread and jump on to another one : )
well if your designs has lots of pictures and lots of pop ups.. illustrations… big pictures photos… its gonna take ages to load… and imagine impatient people who went inside your links to search for picures and read ur posts and all they get is waiting time waiting time and wasting time. . .. they’ll never be back again.. and guess what…. all of us are impatient : )|
although connection speed plays a part.. well if we have a award winning design.. and it takes one hour to get in to the page.. well we fail that design even before seeing it.. FACE IT thats reality!!
okok i read that article and wa…
i think that being a web strategist dosent reali need a nice and booming adn flashing web page to attract people… we can actualli plan well and let everyone that visits the web to leave the web smiling and have their doubts cleared. the web design processes are very well , simply some common sense. we can actualli take time and discuss and more work can be built up than to bring in.
what i think its more important is handeling and improving a website with a procduct life cycle approach instead of a single project.
everyone can show up with a new product and promise and claim its a new promiss ot the new world. looking for a new company and venture beyond the project but to the life cycle of the websites over the next few years… its business objectievs that significantly be more effective and helpful..
FISH!! posts of answers to ester’s questions. . 082721R
ok heres wad i know of ~ whats a browser wars – whats a URL- whats a IP address- whats a Good website…..
BROWER WARS~~~ simple put its like a ” fight for dominance” type of war in the web browsers business market. where the more they have, the more they gain in business. The bigget and greatest examples are the internet explorer and the FireFox. the fewer ones are the Safaria and the OPERA softwares. internet explorere (IE) is widely used and known my many in world and thus is the emerging dominator of the browser wars. SAFARI being the emerging newer explorer were lesser known and fire fox is lesser popular among family users. OPERA due to its smaller layout engine shares, its used in more of the portable devices like NDS browers..which protects the from most spywares.adn good torrent manager.but its been a real leader for years and the new beta opera 9.5 for windows mobile is out XD.
IP address~is a numeric address that is translated (via computer to a readable form) into a domain name by a domain server where each server has each a personal unique IP address. IP address means internet protocol.PROTOCOL means a universal control that enables connection and data transfere from one point to anoter computing endpoints.can also be used as a form of communication.
URL~~~~~keeping it simple> it consists of 2 things.. the PROTOCOL INDENTIFIER … the RESOURCE NAME..
http://fisherman911.wordpress.com
^ the HTTP is the protocol identifyer
^ the //FISHERMAN911.WORDPRESS.COM is the resource name
URL its the web address. to think of it, its like a FILE in the WORLD WIDE WEB (www)
it stands for Uniform Resource Identifier.
whats a good website~~~TO me as a usual net user, i describe a good website as a it is …….if it is
1)easy to find
2)esay to nevigate
