Website & Exhibition setup

Website

To start with Tom from the Exhibition group had been in contact with the Media company that design and run the High Chelmer website. I have been informed that they will display an advert upon their site but in return we will have to promote their website upon ours.

I have agreed to do this as it is important for us to get as much notice as possible. Their request was simple, stating that any text stating "High Chelmer" should be set in bold and be a hyperlink to the High Chelmer website.

I had initially setup the links to load the High Chelmer website on the current page. But I realised that our Exhibition is the most important piece of information being displayed so I decided that the hyperlink should open the High Chelmer website in a new window. That way our site will still be on display and allows the public to switch between the two. It also means that High Chelmer are getting what they require.

Another decision that I have made is to not set the High Chelmer logo as a hyperlink upon the welcome page. This is because I do not believe that the viewer (when visiting the website for the first time) should have the option to lose focus on what is important before finding out about the Exhibition.

Exhibition Setup

With the Exhibition just days away the proposed help on producing the tshirts with Dan and Jon from the Exhibition group has changed. They have stated that they believe they can do a high quality job without the exdtra support and we both agreed that training me to produce the same high quality designs would cost time.

Tomorrow (Friday 21st May) is the setup day for the Exhibition, I have informed both my group members (Kiel and Ryan) that I would like them there to assist with the setup to make it as easy as possible for Savva to complete the task. It will also make it easier to make the timetable known to each member of the group. We will be meeting at 9am to start as early as possible.
