Hi Colleen Thank you for your submission. Please find attached your detailed feedback. Kind regards Wendy  Assessment Feedback / Assessment #30536/02  30536_02 V2-Colleen Sedgwick.pdf Student Name: Colleen Sedgwick Trainer Name: Wendy Campbel Student Number: E0498332 Date: 12.12.16 Unit/s of Competency: CUFDIG401A Author interactive media Submission Check List C  Practical Project - Part A  Progress challenge 1: Design  Progress challenge 2: Build prototype  Progress challenge 3: Complete pages, tests and handover  Grade: CR Assessment Feedback / Assessment #30536/02  Overall Assessment: Competent # 31188/01 Resubmission: N The report is comprised of 3 parts as stated on assessment brief:  Overall Feedback:  Hi Colleen Progress challenge 1: Design You have documented your design progress well here. You have also responded to feedback and reworked the design, well done for that. You have researched the content of this site well as evidenced by your very comprehensive references section. Just a note for future assessments - it isn't necessary to reproduce the text for each question from the assessment requirements. Headings such as the Assessment title, your name, student number and Part A, Part B etc and the Q numbers, References is fine. Progress challenge 2: Build prototype You have produced a responsive site that works fairly well in the smaller view ports but has a few layout issues.  Your banner design is much improved on the original design. It's a complicated process building a responsive site and you have shown that you are not afraid to go back to the drawing board and start again. You have a fixed footer and it's fairly large - the problem with this is that it doesn't scroll with the content and in the smaller view ports, it obscures content. In the desktop view it almost entirely covers the navigation and you can't see any content. This is a fairly major issue - it's better not to have a fixed footer and to let the footer scroll with the content - this would make all your content and navigation visible. Your navigation for desktop remains stuck in the mobile view - it needs to adjust back up to across the top so that its all visible. At the moment in a desktop view only the home button is visible because the footer covers the rest. The footer and content area also expands past the banner in the larger view port/desktop sizes which makes the layout not work so well. What you could do is create a wrapper div which has a max-width value of 1200 (same width as the banner) - then the content would stay together keeping the design intact at larger resolutions. This however would need to be done in the code and I don't believe Muse code is easy to edit.  Your Ulladulla page has video embedded but the playback was blocked and it needed to be viewed in YouTube which opened in a new window external to the website.  You needed more descriptive page titles eg. The Gourmet Cyclist - Home, Cycling destinations in Victoria, Contact The Gourmet Cyclist etc. Search engines will use the keywords in the page titles.  You have successfully linked pages together and included a gallery.  Again well done for taking on feedback and for going back and making changes.  Progress challenge 3: Complete pages, tests and handover You've asked some very appropriate questions in your questionnaire and have sought and received some very useful well constructed feedback. You have also demonstrated a very thorough reflection of your design process.  You needed to also show evidence of testing in 3 different browsers (just a screenshot of one page each would have been fine). You also needed to show evidence that you validated the code. This can be done in DW or at https://validator.w3.org.
