A note on plagiarism and referencing
Plagiarism is a form of theft where the work, ideas, inventions etc. of other people are presented as
your own.
When quoting or paraphrasing from a source such as the Internet, the source must be recognised. If you
are quoting a source, make sure to acknowledge this by including “quotation marks” around the
relevant words/sentences or ideas. Note the source at the point at which it is included within your
assessment, such as by using a citation. Then list the full details of the source in a ‘references’ section at
the end of your assessment.
All sources used for your assessment should be detailed in the ‘references’ section. It is advisable to
never copy another person’s work.
D. Adjustment and Support
i. Reasonable adjustment
ACBI supports individual differences in the learning environment and provides ‘reasonable adjustment’
in training and assessment activities to support every learner. If you have any special needs that make it
difficult for you to complete your learning or assessments, you should discuss this with your assessor.
ACBI will endeavour to provide you with reasonable alternatives to assist you to complete the required
tasks such as completing tests verbally or using an interpreter.
NOTE: If you have any special needs, you should discuss this with your assessor before starting your

3. Assessment Requirements
Case Study
It is well known that the internet has changed the way many businesses compete and operate. While
most media attention is directed at either new industries or the most popular e-commerce websites, the
World Wide Web has also impacted many smaller and lesser known companies, many which do not
make the news headlines. However, since the vast majority of business are classified as small
businesses, there is much to be learned from the way they go about the website design process.
The Picture Frame Guys is a typical example of a small business in an industry made up of many smaller
players. This case study reviews this company's efforts to become a leading e-commerce player through
the development of a best-in-class website. The case study details the company’s search for a website
that could meet their current and future business requirements without breaking the budget.
Background
Prior to the internet, the custom framing industry was one that was extremely localized. This was due to
the fact that any given framing store’s potential market was limited to a few square blocks from the
retail store's location. The only way such a business could grow was either by attracting more customers
to the same store or by opening new stores in other geographical markets. Both of these options
presented significant challenges.
In the case of attracting new customers, a successful marketing campaign could only increase sales by
10% or 15% and only for a limited time. While this increase in sales would certainly be beneficial to the
bottom line, it would have a limited benefit on long-term financial results as at some point all marketing
campaigns come to an end.
Regarding the second option, opening new stores could attract entirely new customers. However,
finding new locations required months of research to find the right location, significant upfront capital
outlay for furniture and fixtures, and necessitated the need to manage multiple locations, including the
hiring of employees. Furthermore, it is quite likely that competitors already existed in any new
geography so it would take time to attract new customers away from these established retailers.
In contrast, selling picture frames via the internet had the benefit of expanding the company's potential
market from a single neighbourhood to anybody with an internet connection. Furthermore, an internet
site would be open 24/7 and would not require employees to staff.

Student Assessment Guide: ICTICT603Manage the use of appropriate development methodologies
While this sounds straightforward enough, the solution was full of its own challenges. First, selling
picture frames online required specific coding challenges associated with selling custom-made goods.
Second, being a small business with limited funds.
Industry Challenges
Selling frames online is tricky because every single item sold has a different price. Depending on what
type of moulding a customer purchases, what size of product is purchased, and which accessories such
as glass, matting and glazing are selected, the price varies accordingly. Calculating a frame's price is
difficult enough in a traditional frame shop. Doing it online in a way that the information is presented to
the customer in an easy-to-understand and straightforward way is not trivial. Therefore, the Picture
Frame Guys needed to find not just an internet company that could produce attractive websites, but
one that could handle the complex coding requirements associated with pricing.
The Search for a Website Development Methodology
Given these challenges, the Picture Frame Guys broke down the search for a website development
methodology into two major activities. First, an extensive internet search was completed to identify the
top 5 potential methodology. These were found by completing a Google search, followed by thoroughly
reviewing each methodology website. This included learning about each development design
philosophy, checking their portfolio and reviewing at least 3 examples of methodology.
Second, a detailed and well thought out requirements document was put together. The goal of this
document was to list all design and functionality requirements in detail. The idea was that the more
detailed the requirements document, the better quality work would be received.
One the quotes were received, instead of simply selecting the lowest price, the Picture Frame Guys team
went through each quote in detail. They scored each company on a variety of points and recorded this
information in an Excel matrix. Based on the matrix, the top 3 companies were contacted for references.
Following these calls, the top 2 providers were asked to have a face-to-face meeting with the Picture
Frame Guys. The goal of the face-to-face was less to evaluate technical expertise and more to see which
of the two company's would best fit the Picture Frame Guys' culture.
Website Design Firm Selected
After going through this rigorous process, Visual scope Studios was selected as the design partner. There
were three reasons that this company was chosen. First, Visual scope's portfolio had both depth and
breadth in terms of design and technical capabilities. Every site in their portfolio was well laid out,
attractive and informative without being overpowering or busy. The company did not develop sites with
a one-size-fits-all approach. They had also created several e-commerce sites.

Second, the company had demonstrated expertise in search engine marketing and SEO. In fact, it turned
out that Visual scope was one of the leading SEO firms in the country and this was a capability that the
Picture Frame Guys would be requiring at some point in their online growth efforts.
Finally, the website design team at Visual scope was a great fit for the Picture Frame Guys culture. The
designers were relaxed and easy-going. They could answer questions clearly and concisely without using
industry jargon. It is also interesting that Visual scope was the lowest cost of the proposals received.
Conclusion
Once the business was awarded to Visual scope studios, the project took 8 weeks to complete. This
included a technical validation, user acceptance testing, integration testing, and site launch. The overall
process was smooth and completed on schedule. The result was a website that was far superior to any
competitor's.
The key take-away for small businesses wishing to improve their online presence is to put time into the
process upfront. By doing their homework and clearly understanding what they wish to get from a
website upgrade, they will be in a better position to drive the quoting process and thereby find the
design partner that best meets their needs.

B1. Discuss the life cycle maintenance of a website.
Answer in 100-150 words.
The stages are:
The Planning Phase: Firstly, the purpose of the website is determined, whether it is a commercial
website, educational website, business, entertainment or organizational website. The interactive
functionality and requirement of technical support is also defined. The planning stage sets the
foundation of a website and an initial requirement analysis helps out in the long run.
The Specification Phase: The requirements are assessed, and target audiences are determined. The web
design layout, pages, specifications and site navigation types are analysed. Large business websites may
require further assessment of technical specifications. Some competitor websites are also reviewed.
The Design Phase: The content and organization of the website is decided in this stage and website
prototypes are created and frameworks are reviewed. Prototypes are important for developing the
user interface as well as testing the site navigation. In this phase, the website gains the idea of its
appearance as the overall graphic designs are created and reviewed.
The Development Phase: The content of the website is added in this phase. All the required features
and functionalities are developed using HTML, CMS, CSS or PHP by the programmers. The end user
documentation has also to be generated by the coding team.
The Testing Phase: After developing the website, both automated and manual testing is done for
analysing the functionality of the website. A complete testing plan, including data processing time,
navigation time and load time, is essential for creating an error free website. Other tests include
resolution testing, stress testing, cross browser compatibility testing and scalability testing.

The Release Phase: The website is now ready for release. It is moved to the web host after selecting a
domain and registering it.
Domain Registration: The domain of a website is registered through an accredited domain registrar. For
keeping the registration valid, it should be kept updated before the expiration date, failure of which
may lead to loss of domain name.
Website Hosting: For making the website reachable via the World Wide Web, the website needs to be
hosted. A server provides space and internet connectivity for storing the pages of the website and
making it accessible to other connected computers. Depending upon the required bandwidth and disk
space, a fee needs to paid to the web host at regular intervals.
Types of hosting: Considering the type of database server software, operating system and scripting
software, the best suited hosting service is used. Different types of hosting include shared hosting,
dedicated hosting, reseller web hosting, virtual dedicated server (VPS), managed hosting service, etc.
Services like cloud hosting, clustered hosting and grid hosting can also be used.
The SEO Phase: The most important part of the lifecycle of a website is to get listed in major search
engines. The website has to be submitted to the prominent search engines followed by Search engine
optimization, Search engine marketing campaign, promotion of the website and result monitoring.
Analysing the website is vital for improving the value of the website. The ranking in top search engines
has to be evaluated and web traffic monitoring is started. Based upon the Search engine position of the
website SEO has to be done accordingly, which includes developing keywords, embedding into the web
pages, creating site maps, etc.
The Maintenance Phase: Maintaining a website is the most crucial phase of its life cycle. Regular
revamps are necessary for sustaining a competitive edge. Applications and contents need to be
regularly updated. Constant grooming is required for keeping the website “live”. A lot of work is
required to be done like SSL Certificates renewal, updating security patches, Frameworks & Tools
Update, DDoS Attack preventions, etc.

E1. Discuss AGILE and RAD current industry development methodologies.
Answer in 100-150 words.
AGILE
Agile incorporates multiple methodologies based on iterative and incremental development. The best
solutions evolve through collaboration between cross-functional teams. This process has been chiefly
used in software development to improve speed to market and productivity. Traditionally,
development processes have been more linear and rigid, which heightens the risk of creating
unsuitable tools that are out of date at the time of delivery. The agile process allows customers to see
tangible results at regular intervals throughout product development and share related feedback to
drive further enhancements. Critically for the fast-paced travel industry, the agile approach speeds up
development processes and provides the capacity to pivot and change plans within an ever-changing
landscape, while also keeping to tight deadlines.
The Agile values: Individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, responding
to change.
Pros: Emphasis of modern techniques, highly adaptive, constant customer feedback, and allows for
iterative development.
Cons: Potential of increased technical debt, difficult to make additions within an iteration, and
minimal emphasis on documentation.
(Arsenault, 2017)

Rapid application development describes a method of software development which heavily
emphasizes rapid prototyping and iterative delivery. The Rap model is, therefore, a sharp alternative
to the typical waterfall development model, which often focuses largely on planning and sequential
design practices.
Rad steps are: Planning requirements, user design, rapid construction, and cutover.
Benefits and pros: User involvement, feasibility, error reduction and debugging, measurable process,
quickly generate productive code, compartmentalization of system components, rapid, constant user
feedback, early system integration, and simple adaptability.
Cons: Requires modular systems, difficulty within large-scale projects, demands frequent user
interfacing, and depends upon skilled developers.

Purpose of the project- The goal of the project is to develop a website for personalized frame sales.
And to allow a client to run a website to gathering to product information and reviews, while
incorporating a social network aspect.
The scope of the project – The project is going through the following:
Discovery, planning, design and production process.
Phase 0o Strategic Analysis and Planning
o Information Architecture
o Wireframes o Technical System Design
Phase 1
o Graphic and User Interface Design
o Content Creation
o Implementation o Testing
o Training and Documentation
o Launch o Post Launch Support and Maintenance
There will be different portions of the process:
Strategic Analysis- In this stage, Picture Frame Guys works with VSS staff and stakeholders to gather
as much information as possible about how they believe the new site should function
Information Architecture -Picture Frame Guys will work to further define and refine VSS information
architecture. Our focus in this phase is to make content easily navigable. VSS works cooperatively
with our clients to help them define their information architecture so that users can find
information/functions quickly and easily.
Wireframes-VSS goal is to make sure we document the necessary details to make a project
functionally accurate in the annotated wireframes we produce.
Technical System Design- During the technical system design phase of the project, the functional
requirements are synthesized and VSS uses these to select the appropriate technologies to use for
implementation.
Graphic and User Interface Design- This stage typically begins after the information architecture,
wireframes and technical system design has been finalized
Content Creation- It is important for VSS to begin preparing any new content, or updating existing
content as early as possible in this process.

Development Environment- In order to facilitate the rapid development and deployment of the
Picture Frame Guys website VSS will setup a development server and utilize a version control system
for all programming code.
Programming, Customization and Templating- During this phase VSS will customize the base
technologies that were selected in the design phase. This includes some amount of custom
programming.
Search Engine Optimization VSS will work with the client to ensure optimal search engine
optimization (SEO) when building websites. SEO has as much to do with your websites’ content as it
does the website’s organization and programming.
Testing- Thorough testing is an integral part of Picture Frame Guys approach to website development
and one of the final phases. In the case of the Picture Frame Guys website, we recommend browser
optimization for the following platforms/version:  Internet Explorer (versions 7.x and 8.x),  Firefox
(version 3.x), and  Safari (version 4.x). We will also test the site to ensure that it is functional in: 
Opera (version 10.x), and  Chrome (version 5.x).
Training and Documentation -VSS will work with you to ensure that the various members of your
organization fully understand how to use the content management system and are comfortable
utilizing the system to its fullest capacity.
Launch – VSS works with the client to ensure a smooth launch.
Post Launch Support and Maintenance- VSS will work with the client to provide ongoing support for
their web properties and can provide this same high level of support to Picture Frame Guys website.
