NASA Space Explorations

For the BLIINK contests there are two missions. The first mission is to create an introductory website for the Student International Space Station Mission Control Training program. SO we have to design like the index page for NASA. The second mission has 3 choices within it. One of them is to design a web page that informs you about how the ISS has helped the development of technology in our world. The other option is to describe how the ISS has helped the world connect more, and the last option is to crate a website that tells you about all the different careers you can have in the ISS.


-Why would anyone be interested in viewing the Web site that your team is developing?
They should be interested because the website is educational and informative.


-Who are the possible customers for the site?
Anyone who surfs the web for NASA, anyone really. Well, that would be anyone that has money and would like to support NASA or become a member.


-How many pages are going to be necessary to complete the Web site your client wants?
It depends on the mission but I think we should at least have 5 pages


-Based on the number of pages, what sort of navigational structure would work well for the site?
Something very easy t find and read, maybe on the top or like a drop down menu. We just need to make the navigation bar very noticeable.


-How can this design be shown using a site map and storyboard?
I am not sure, the site map allows you to organize your links and your web site. It would help to have a site map because it obviously makes navigation way more easier.

If you click on the Split tab at the bottom of the Expression workspace window, what do you see?
-The workspace will divide so that you can see the code and the actual screen and what you ar working with (how it will look).

How could this be helpful in designing a web site?
-It makes it easier to click on certain items and seeign the code makes it easier to select it. Plus if you select a picture you can make sure you are ONLY selecting that by viewing the code.
