Making a story board (wire frame or paper prototype) as a plan
of your site is essential and is a cost-effective method of developing
the organisation of the content of your site. Jakob
Nielsen (the widely acknowledged Guru of Web Usability) considers
it to be the
most effective method to plan a site.
Examples of Story Boards:
The paper prototypes used by the Office of Web Developmetn (now the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)) when the University web
site was redeveloped in 2001 can be found in this
site (Site Architecture,
WORD format, 19 pages, 431KB and Site
Architecture, PDF format, 19 pages, 345KB). These prototypes
are now out of date, since they were superceded by a site
'mockup' or protosite, and many changes were made as the
newly redeveloped site was published, but they illustrate the
principles of this method of prototyping.
