...Website Migration – Tony’s Chips Website Migration – Tony’s Chips With Tony's Chips being purchased by the Acme Company, they would like a new change the way the website is used for the business. The old method was an externally hosted site with no online ordering options. The new website plan is for it to be redesigned to allow for online ordering, onsite web hosting, and site redundancy to allow for maximum uptime. What they are asking for is called the system development life cycle (SDLC). Systems development life cycle is defined as "activities and functions that systems developers typically perform, regardless of how those activities and services fit a particular methodology” (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011). The systems development life cycle contains the following steps in the model: required analysis, testing, implementation, documentation, deployment, and maintenance. Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available. The new web architecture is a complete change from the previous implementation of the site causing an entirely new template and architecture. Previous setup used manual ordering, so they would have to call in or physically come in to order the chips. The new architecture will allow for online ordering that will free up more user time in answering phones taking orders. I am assuming the previous network architecture is...

...Persona/ In the digital era life has become both easy and complicated simultaneously! In this day and age, if you are searching any kinds of product or service, first thing that you do is go to the Internet and surf for information on various websites. Companies, which want to keep or grow their customer base, need to build a website with persona. According to Chaffey (2006), “personas are a summary of the characteristics, needs, motivations and environment of typical website users. Personas have been used for a long time in research for segmentation and advertising. But in recent years have also proved effective for improving website design by companies that have applied the technique.” Today I’d like to grab your attention with a short story of what can happen when company’s persona does not match your expectations. Taking care of one’s family is a large part of everyday life and so we think about it constantly! The internet however, from my personal experience, is a not always good for solving your personal or business issues. It was a normal day except for the fact that my sister had a toothache, and I as a person with a really in a good relationship with not only Google but all digital gadgets, decided to help her to find a doctor using ‘Web 2.0’. Not a normal doctor, but a Russian one ‘Phew!’- I thought and went to the online Russian community in London on the Facebook, and found some testimonials about dentists with incredible recommendations from...

...Copyright Implications Paper Your name IT 236 9/9/2015 A copyright oversees design on websites divide from the substance in the site. A copyright of design deals with logos, graphics, as well as colors that you will find on a site. It will defend you from unlawful use of your images and colors by other people. This will forbid the copy of any of your designs. When building a new website is best to use all original designs to guarantee that you are not breaking in copyright laws. If you plan to use online photos or graphics use free stock photos or make sure you have written permission to exploit the designs in your own websites. It is important to know just what constitutes copyright infringement or violation. This can include printing a webpage, using a graphic or color scheme off of a website, copying the html or code from the page, or downloading it to your hard drive. If you utilize any of this for personal use, most designers wouldn’t have an issue with that. You should also understand that even though a site may not have a copyright notice, they are still protected by copyright laws and it is important to adhere by those laws. Adding a watermark or using copyright software to implant protection into an image or design are two ways you can keep your own designs confined. Use of other’s work online without consent is illegal. You should always perform integrity when dealing with these issues. The best way to guarantee you are doing the right thing is to...

...Website Publishing Process Thomas Evans IT/237 June 1, 2013 Professor Knox Website Publishing Process There are many ways to build a website, and many ways to publish a website. One way to build a website is by a site that basically writes the code for you and allows you to choose the colors, designs, picture placement etc., and then you post it on the building site right then and the site gives you the domain name. But publishing a site after writing the HTML code for your site, and creating your site from scratch is different, and requires the web designer to do his homework and gives you many more options. You have the option to register your own domain name and use that name when you register with a web host and upload your file with all your web pages. You also need to look at all the web hosting options, which vary by what you want to have as a web host. There are many free web hosting sites to choose from, which can be a good starting and learning choice for a new web designer, just to get the feel and learn how to upload and manage a website on a web host server. These free servers normally only offer you a limited amount of space and options and domain names, and usually require your website to have an add for their web hosting site, or adds from their sponsors. Other websites can vary in price from an average of $1.99 a month to $19.99 per month, depending on what options you want like amount of size you can use for your website, how many domain names you can...

...Basic Concepts: Part 1 An introduction to domain names, web servers, and website hosting I assume that you know nothing about the inner workings of the Internet; maybe you’re not even sure how people actually get to web sites, where the web sites are actually sitting, what the web is in the first place…. In this article I am going to give you the minimum you need to get your ‘feet wet’ so that we can quickly get into building web sites. I won’t go into painful micro-details that would put all but true nerds to sleep, again there is just enough so that you have a basic understanding of what’s going on. What is the web? In a nutshell, the web is a whole bunch of interconnected computers talking to one another. The computers (on the web) are typically connected by phone lines, digital satellite signals, cables, and other types of data-transfer mechanisms. A ‘data-transfer mechanism’ is a nerd’s way of saying: a way to move information from point A to point B to point C and so on. The computers that make up the web can be connected all the time (24/7), or they can be connected only periodically. The computers that are connected all the time are typically called a ‘server’. Servers are computers just like the one you’re using now to read this article, with one major difference, they have a special software installed called ‘server’ software. What is the function of server software / programs? Server software is created to ‘serve’ web pages and web sites. Basically...

For this particular business of an automotive repair shop, I would like to make a mixed approach of 2 of the 3 business models. Apart from repairing automobiles and tires, which can be specified as service sales, the shop can also include the product sales by which they can sell the tires as well at a small scale. The proper model on which the website can be based could be a virtual storefront. There will be information on the storefront about the inventory about which tires are currently available at the store of the shop and what is the specification and price for each of them. Customers can have a look at the company's inventory and buy their specific item and have it shipped to them. They can use this service as a tool to pay their bills without going to the shop, which can be far from their location. They can place an order from home. The website can process payment information 24/7. There should also be such options at the storefront so that the customers can...
