TIM2014: from the idea to the implementation of a Web site

Web as creative power, communication and social tool: 90 hours of digital creativity.

The “TIM” course aims at guiding the girls to implement their own Web site: from the basic idea to the graphic rendering, from the Web platform implementation to the testing phase, from site publishing to site promotion through Social Networks.

The course consists of the following steps:

• 1. Creativity and value of a Web project. From the idea of the project to the implementation of our Web site. Let’s plan all the useful tasks. The work team: everybody has her own tasks!
• 2. Structure and beauty. Let’s define the entire structure of our Web site. Don’t forget that a Web site has to be appealing: let’s define the graphical layout.
• 3. Let’s choose a flexible framework to bring our project to life: meet WordPress, the worldwide most used open source CMS.
• 4. HTML and CSS: the Web languages, let’s learn them together!
• 5. Communicate: let’s fill our site with contents. Let’s produce texts, images, animations, videos, audios with the right software applications.
• 6. Usability tests: let other people judge our work and verify that what we did is usable and effective.
• 7. All ready? Let’s publish our Web site and link it to www.ragazzedigitali.it!
• 8. Our project is on-line! Let’s discover how to maintain it and promote it through social networks.
