Project X Web Site Design
and Development

1.0 Background
XYZ organization is in the process of starting up an organization and needs an internet web site. Work progress to date has been the registration of two internet domain names:
www.xyz.ca
www.xyz.comA web host server has been selected, web space purchased and the site has been set up with a startup information web page. The “.ca” domain has been established as a backup measure and will be set up to take the web user to the main web site.
2.0 Project Description
The next step in the web site creation process is the design, development and launch of the site. The steps involved in this work consist of: determining the client’s information needs and content for the site; scoping out the desired “look” and size of the site; and, finally, developing and programming of the complete package.
3.0 Project Plan
a) Understand client’s business goals, objectives and key deliverables 1 hour
b) Determine client’s needs for web site content and structure 2 hours
c) Design and develop the overall site 10 hours
d) Design reviews, revisions and final approval by client 3 hours
e) Publish the web site on the web host server 4 hour
Total time required 20 hoursThe time required to create a web site varies with needs. For example, the time may be less for the conversion of an existing site to a new and updated site (10 to 15 hours). The time may be more for many web pages, web pages with many client created graphics or for rework on site content because of changing source or reference material. The time may also increase because the client has the need for content and images not available and requiring assistance from Miller's Imagery.
4.0 Project Scope
The web site will consist of five to six web pages with a mixture of text and graphics with necessary links to web pages and other key information about the organization, its services and programs. The site layout, background and use of imaginative imagery will “attract the attention of first time visitors and encourage repeat visits”. The site will include a visitor or hit count indicator and other reports will provide supporting statistics on site access.
The time shown above in the Project Plan is typical of that required for a five to six page site. A site requiring more pages would typically require more project hours and cost.
5.0 Project Cost
In order to complete the above project work, the cost will be based on an hourly rate of Z $ per hour. For any substantial increase in time, beyond the estimated 20 project hours, the rate will be ZZ $ per hour. For any ongoing site revisions and maintenance, after the site is officially approved and published, the cost will be ZZZ $ per hour.
