The Walton Hall Museum of Odds & Ends (WH-Moe) is a small museum hidden in a basement in Walton Hall, Milton Keynes. Due to the pandemic it has, in line with other cultural heritage institutions, turned to the digital environment to engage with their audience and is in the process of redeveloping its online presence. As part of this work, the WH-Moe has engaged you to undertake the first steps in the implementation of the redesign of their website. They have already had a designer work on the project and you will be basing your work on the wireframe and design guidelines that the designer has developed.
You will not be required to implement the complete website. Instead, the WH-Moe wants you to implement the landing page, based on the wireframe and style guide, to demonstrate your technical abilities. Based on this work, the WH-Moe will then decide to whom to contract the remaining implementation work.
Accompanying the practical work, the WH-Moe expects you to also provide a report detailing aspects of the practical work that you have undertaken. The WH-Moe owners are not technically proficient, thus you will also be expected to initially introduce the concepts discussed in the report and why they are important.
Assignment resources
The WH-Moe has provided you with some resources to help you undertake the work. This compressed file contains the following files:
- index.html – the HTML file that you will extend with your solution
- styles.css – the CSS file that you will extend with your solution
- placeholder.html – a placeholder HTML file that your solution will link to
- imgs/1-12.jpeg – a set of 12 placeholder images from which you can pick 6 to use in your solution
- imgs/metadata.csv – metadata describing the objects in the 12 placeholder images
- wireframe.png – the wireframe that defines the layout you must implement
- styleguide.pdf – the style guide that defines the styles to use in your solution.
You will only work on the index.html and styles.css files, adding the required content so that they meet the following criteria:
- The index.html should be syntactically error-free and should validate as HTML5.
- The styles.css should be syntactically error-free and should validate as CSS (level 3).
- The two files together implement the wireframe layout provided in wireframe.png and follow the style guide defined in styleguide.pdf.
- The resulting web page must be usable.
- The resulting web page must be accessible.
Part 1: Implementing the Landing-page wireframe
For this first part of the TMA you should edit the index.htmland styles.css files provided and implement the following three features:
- Header: The landing page header consists of four links to the four sections of the completed website. The texts to display for each link are given in the wireframe and must be used as provided. The first link (Museum of Odds & Ends) must link back to the index.html file. This link must be treated as the current link within the header, indicating that the user is currently on this page. The other three links must link to the placeholder.html file.(20 marks for your technical solution)
- Main content: The main content area of the landing page consists of the museum name, museum location, and the sample of 6 items taken from the WH-Moe’s collection. The museum name and location must be used as given in the wireframe. For the 6 items, the WH-Moe has provided you with 12 samples, from which you should select 6 for your solution. For each sample item the WH-Moe has provided some metadata in the file imgs/metadata.csv. Where the wireframe indicates the ‘Image title’, you may include whatever metadata you wish to use from the metadata provided. Each image and its title must link to the URL provided in the metadata file for that image. (20 marks for your technical solution)
- News sidebar: The news sidebar shows two recent news entries on the right side of the design. The WH-Moe has not provided any sample data, so you should include your own sample text for the two news items. Each item consists of a title, date, and the text of the news item. (20 marks for your technical solution)
When implementing the three features, you must follow the following rules:
- Your implementation must follow the layout provided in the wireframe. Remember that a wireframe is not a high-fidelity design and the wireframe only defines the layout and rough position and size of the elements. Your solution will not be a pixel-exact implementation of the wireframe.
- Where the wireframe contains pre-defined text (header links, museum name, museum location), you must use the text as provided in the wireframe.
- Your implementation must follow the styles defined in the style guide.
- Your code must be cleanly and consistently structured. You can find tools to clean and structure your HTML and CSS online. One such tool is the HTML/ CSS Cleaner. However, you are not required to use this specific tool and there are many other, similar tools available online. You can of course also clean and structure the code by hand. If you use a tool, then you should refer to this in your report.
- You must include comments in both the index.html and styles.css files documenting how your HTML and CSS work.
- Your code must validate as HTML5 (for the index.htmlfile) and as CSS Level 3 (for the styles.css file).
When adding comments to the two files, use the following syntax for HTML and CSS respectively:
<!–This is a HTML comment. –>
/*This is a CSS comment*/
Your completed HTML files will be tested for standards compliance using the W3C HTML validator, and your CSS will be tested using the W3C CSS validator.
Your marker will use the most recent version of Google Chrome to view your TMA 01 work. If for any reason you cannot test your TMA 01 work on Google Chrome, please inform your tutor immediately.
