Week6

Date: 12th November 2010

Today's group work was more focused on finished the wireframes of the website, since we're almost behind in that, we had to finish all the remaining pages in order to start designing the website. We started doing the wireframe for the pages before having the new sitemap ready, that's what caused us a bit of delay in finishing, because we were thinking of the pages from the top of our heads without knowing the architecture of the website how it's going to be.

We started sketching the sitemap, depending on the wireframes of what we've already done, and on the scenarios for each of our personas.

We faced some problems in deciding whether we're going to have events in the website added by users or the librarians. We've also couldn't decide how the book reviews going to appear in the page when a user search for a certain book, I've suggested that each book should have it's own page showing the book cover, title, author, brief description, and under it the reviews should appear depending on the viewer's choice, either by date, or by rate.

The browse for book reviews was a bit tricky, as we couldn't decide on how are we going to categorize the books, so we had a look at different websites such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble ... etc, to find out how they categorize books.

I've chosen to take the sitemap and produce a digital, organized version of it, and also redo my scenarios with the template of which we decided to have it all to look like. The template was done by Rosa, and it fitted the process of our project, and was reasonably understandable when we are going to design the website.
