Assignment 2

Having finally returned to my blog I have decided to use it for logging my progress on the 2nd Assignment. Using the diffily website as a guide along with the assignment brief I made a start last Friday by contacting the client using a webform email and mentioned that I would be carrying out an audit. During that afternoon I received several calls back from Richard, the UWE Sports Manager. Unfortunately I didn't get to return his call until Monday morning when I reassured him that I wouldn't be tearing his website apart! I have studied Diffily chapters 1 & 2 and the brief as well as communicated with the client. I forwarded to him my timetable and some initial questions:

Further to our conversation this morning. Here is my timetable for the next two weeks as I think you said that you were going away after that. My weeks follow roughly the same pattern so you can assume that the following week is the same.

Date	Available times
4/3/8	8-12:30
5/3/8	9-10:30 13:30-17:00
6/3/8	13:30-14:30
7/3/8	12:30-13:30 14:30-17:00
10/3/8	9-5
11/3/8	8-12:30
12/3/8	9-10:30 13:30-17:00
13/3/8	13:30-14:30
14/3/8	12:30-13:30 14:30-17:00

I should take less than an hour of your time so bear that in mind when making a date i.e. on 10/3 the latest time to start would be 4pm. I would also ask that if you have any supporting documentation that it is made available for the meeting or even better, emailed in advance.

The coursework brief states "The review and audit of a UWE website". The review section means that I will be seeking to understand the purpose, audience, scope of content, site structure, technology and report on these. In the audit I shall be examining the site's management including maintenance, construction and governance. If necessary I shall produce recommendations complete with rationale.

I am currently preparing a questionnaire so the more information you can give me in advance the better service I can offer you in return.

Thanks in advance,
