Task Instructions:
Read the case study given below and produce the relevant documents as instructed. You may use the templates supplied to you during the course of this unit, to assist you in doing so.
The “Hamilton Fish Organisation” is a non-profit organisation that organises financial assistance and educational benefits for the less fortunate members of our society. Being a fairly new organisation, the public is not aware of their operations, and hence would like to have a presence on the Internet. In order to do this, they have approached you to lead a website development project. You are a contractor who works with your team of four, namely John, Peter, Susan and Bill.
Hamilton Fish have no website development skills; they however have space on their ISP’s Web server, and Internet access. The website to be developed should include a mission statement, their activities and information about the organisation (contact details, address etc). The website should also have photographs and other images that portray it, and also be both attractive and user-friendly.
Since the staff at Hamilton Fish have no experience in website development, you are also required to train three of them to carry out simple updates on the website, after the project is finished.
The budget is $10 000 and the duration of the project is about 3 – 4 months.
You may make assumptions where necessary in order to complete the documents required.
