 * 7 || Building a basic client website || Teacher's Instruction

Student's guide || In this unit, student teams work on a project to build a website for a client. All student teams build the same site. The instructor can play the role of the client, a hypothetical organization. The client selects the topic of the site and specifies the content to be included on the site. Each student team interprets the client’s needs in designing the navigation, the look and feel, and the content flow. The client determines which site most closely meets those needs.The focus of this unit is working on a team and designing for someone else. The main emphasis is the design-team process for website development, the team-client interaction for incorporating feedback and changes throughout the development of the site, and the application of techniques that make the site design and content easily reusable and revisable. || Quia is pronounced //key-ah//, and is short for //Quintessential Instructional Archive//.
