FITNESS CENTER Simulation

You will assume the role of the web site designer for a health and fitness center that provides a state-of-the-art health and fitness facility to its members. The facility includes free weights and a variety of cardio machines to its members to attain their fitness goals. The fitness center is well-established and has experienced steady growth in acquiring new members since opening its doors in 1998.

Using your creativity, strategic planning, and design skills, you will design and build the web site for the fitness center.

Skills used include: * planning, designing, and building a web stie navigation structure * creating and designing web site buttons * web page layout and design * using e-mail and graphic image hyperlinks * using and formatting tables * producing and editing web graphic images * technical writing * critical thinking * planning and decision-making * establishing a professional business web preference * the ability to use web design skills to complete a comprehensive real-world web site project

When a business hires a web site designer to build a web site, an initial meeting, either face-to-face, over the phone, or by e-mail, takes place between the two parties. The purpose of this initial meeting is for the web site designer to gather necessary background information about the client’s business, to find out what type of information the client wants to convey through the web site. The type of business the client is engaged in usually determines the overall look and feel that the web site designer decides to incorporate into the web site. For instance, a web site for a comic store may have a fun, more colorful design, whereas a life insurance company may have a more serious, professional corporate design to its web site.
