closely analyze this assignment as in the next prompts I will ask you questions about it;


Introduction
You have been asked to help develop a new website for a new camping equipment retailer 
that is moving to online sales (RCC – Retail Camping Company). The company has been 
trading from premises but now wants an online presence. The website currently doesn’t take 
payments and orders online although the management hopes to do this in the future. The 
website should be visual and should be viewable on different devices.
Scenario
The Retail Camping Company has the following basic requirements for the contents of the 
website:
• Home Page: 
o This page will introduce visitors to the special offers that are available and it 
should include relevant images of camping equipment such as tents, cookers 
and camping gear such as furniture and cookware.
o The text should be minimal, visuals should be used to break up the written 
content.
o This page should include a navigation bar (with links inside the bar and hover 
over tabs), slide show, header, sections, footer.
o Modal pop-up window that is displayed on top of the current page.
• Camping Equipment: This page will provide a catalogue of products that are on sale 
such as tents, camping equipment and cookware.
• Furniture: This page should give customers a catalogue of camping furniture that is 
on sale.
• Reviews: This page should include a forum where the registered members can 
review the products they have purchased.
• Basket: This page should allow the customers to add camping equipment to their 
basket which is saved and checked out later.
• Offers and Packages: This page provides a catalogue of the most popular 
equipment that is sold
• Ensure you embed at least THREE (3) different plug ins such as java applets, display 
maps and scan for viruses.
At the initial stage of the development process, you are required to make an HTML/CSS 
prototype of the website that will clearly show the retail camping company how the final 
website could work.
Content hasn’t been provided. Familiarise yourself with possible types of content by 
choosing an appropriate organisation (by using web resources) to help you understand the
context in which the company operates. However, do not limit yourself to web-based sources 
of information. You should also use academic, industry and other sources. Suitable content 
for your prototype can be found on the web e.g. images. Use creative commons 
(http://search.creativecommons.org/) or Wikimedia Commons 
(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) as a starting point to find content. 
Remember the content you include in your site must be licensed for re-use. Do not spend 
excessive amounts of time researching and gathering content. The purpose is to provide a 
clear indication of how the final website could look and function. The client would provide 
the actual content at a later point if they are happy with the website you have proposed.
Students must not use templates that they have not designed or created in the website 
assessment. This includes website building applications, free HTML5 website templates, 
or any software that is available to help with the assessment. You must create your own 
HTML pages including CSS files and ideally you will do this through using notepad or 
similar text editor.
