Working in teams, students map out a plan of action to build and launch a complex database-driven website. Incorporated into this plan is a requirements document or blueprint that spells out how the website will be built.Database-driven websites have much content to manage. At the same time, these websites must have a means of allowing users to go through the content. The basis of this is information architecture. Students in this course create content plans that sort, categorize and make available large amounts of content. In this course, students learn about and create navigation and way-finding systems that allow the website to work to specifications.
