project management #1

idea & the plan

Portfolio or Website Redesign Initiative? I spent a lot of time thinking about this and at first thought I could do both but now I am not so sure. I really need to create a portfolio to sell myself to prospective employers so maybe I'll start with that and take it from there? Ah I'm too indecisive. I think I definitely need a portfolio and maybe try and add in the website redesign idea.

what to do?
– What's the best plan of action?



Idea

  1. Create a portfolio page.
  2. Completely redesign Buttercooky's Bakery website and create an online order form.

Purpose

Portfolio - This will showcase my work in this class as well as work from previous classes and that will help promote my developing skills for a job in this field

Website Redesign - This will also showcase my skills but it is also an opportunity to help promote their bakery online more efficiently.


Target Audience

Portfolio - Beyond the scope of this class - my classmates and professor I'm primarily targeting prospective employers with this idea.

Website Redesign - The same target audience for my portfolio idea with the addition of customers and prospective customer for the bakery.


Basic Plan

Portfolio - Continually add onto this website with my assignments and also add previous works from my other classes when I have some time on the weekends.


This should be about 12-20 pages:

  1. Main Page
  2. About Me
  3. Sub page to about me with links to trips and family
  4. Rome Trip
  5. Aruba Trip
  6. Niagara Trip
  7. My Dog Toby
  8. ICM 508 course with videos I created
  9. ICM 502 course with website mock up photoshop images creates
  10. Page linking to blogs on movies
  11. Badges page earned

Website Redesign - Also continually add onto this with my assignments - basically incorporate what I learn but take it to another level by reaching out to the bakery to add more content.


This should be about 10-20 pages:

  1. Main Page
  2. About Bakery Page
  3. Cakes Page
  4. Cookies Page
  5. Contact Us
  6. Order Form Page
  7. Pies Page

Other Info

Portfolio - I think this is doable and might be the best approach considering my time constraints.

Website Redesign - Too ambitious? Might be an issue reaching out and spending time with the bakery to get a better feel for the design and content. I will be doing a simple mock up with some of my own ideas for the CRAP badge.


Your Thoughts

Please let me know which idea you think I should pursue. I am not sure that I can do both and right now really leaning towards the Portfolio.
