On Track – Stage 2 – Website Design for a Purpose
Section A
You receive an email from your Science teacher. It reads:
Hi,
I am making a website for my students. We are studying the 9 planets of our solar
system. I have information on 3 planets so far. I plan to complete information on all
9 of them. The colours I like on the website are red and blue. I have shown it to
another teacher who thinks the design needs changing. They pointed out some
problems.
•
•
•
•
•
There is too much information on one page.
The colours used make it hard to read lots of information easily.
The font style is not very good for all web browsers.
The font size of some parts is too small.
There are not enough pictures to interest students.
I need you to make changes to solve all these problems. The font colour and
background need to have ‘high contrast’ (be very different). Apart from a blue
background on the homepage, a white background is best. I would still like blue and
red to be obvious though. I created a logo that you should use in the right colours.
Attached is a copy of the webpage and a logo for ‘The Planets’.
Many thanks

You are going to solve the Planets website problems for your Science teacher.
Changes will need to be made to the colour scheme, font size and style. Your website
will have a homepage and links to individual pages for the planets Venus, Mars and
Jupiter.

Open PlanetWebpage.htm.
(i) Make a homepage for ‘The Planets’ website with navigation links to Venus,
Mars and Jupiter. Give the homepage a blue background, as there is not much
text.
(ii) Make a page each for the three planets: Venus, Mars and Jupiter. Give these
pages white backgrounds. Put the correct information into each page. Save
these in the same folder.
(iii) Make sure the links from the homepage to the three planets work. Save all
your work into one folder called by your name.
(iv) Make a screenshot (print screen) of the homepage. Save the screenshot as
your name 1a. Print.

be below this information.
(a) Re-arrange the information on each page for Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

(c) Add appropriate navigation to every other page on the website including the
homepage. Make sure that all the links work.
