Development
Group One
INTRODUCTION
Key Terms & Definitions:
Prototyping – Creating an initial model of a
website to visualize design and functionality
before full development.
Flowcharts – Diagrams that map out user
interactions and system workflows in website
development.
INTRODUCTION
Storyboards – A sequence of sketches or
images that illustrate how users navigate
through the website.
Page Layouts – The arrangement of
visual elements on a webpage to enhance
usability and design.
INTRODUCTION
• Multimedia Website Development –
The process of building websites that
integrate text, images, video, and other
media to enhance user experience.
PROTOTYPING IN WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Prototyping is the process of creating a
preliminary visual representation of a website
to test structure, layout, and functionality before
final development.
Types of Prototypes:
Low-Fidelity: Basic wireframes or sketches
used to outline ideas.
High-Fidelity: Interactive designs with real
content and near-final UI elements.

Example:
A prototype of an e-commerce website where users can preview product
categories, add items to their cart, and proceed to checkout before the
website is fully coded.

FLOWCHARTS IN WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Flowcharts are visual diagrams that represent
user interactions and logical flows in a website.
Purpose:
• Helps developers understand how users will
navigate the site.
• Defines key decision points and system logic.

STORYBOARDING IN WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
A storyboard is a sequence of images or
sketches representing the key steps
of user interaction with a website.
Purpose:
•Helps visualize user journeys before
development.
•Ensures smooth and logical navigation
paths.

PAGE LAYOUTS IN WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Page layout refers to the structured placement
of elements like text, images, and buttons
on a webpage to ensure an aesthetically pleasing
and functional design.
Best Practices:
Use a grid system for consistency.
Ensure mobile responsiveness for better
user experience.
Maintain visual hierarchy (headings, subheadings
, and buttons should be distinct).

CONCLUSION
Our Opinion:
• Prototyping, flowcharts, storyboards, and
page layouts are essential tools in website
development, ensuring efficiency, clarity,
and a smooth user experience.
• These tools minimize design errors,
improve collaboration, and provide a
roadmap for developers.
CONCLUSION
• Key Takeaways:
Prototyping saves time by identifying design issues early.
Flowcharts streamline user journeys and logic flow.
Storyboards visualize user interactions for better
engagement.
Page layouts ensure consistency and readability across
devices.
THE WAY FORWARD
•Adopt a structured design process by incorporating
prototyping, flowcharts, and storyboards into website
development from the start.
•Encourage collaboration between UI/UX designers,
developers, and clients to ensure smooth workflows.
THE WAY FORWARD
•Use best practices in page layouts to improve
responsiveness, accessibility, and user
engagement.
•Leverage modern design tools (e.g., Figma,
Adobe XD, Balsamiq) to create interactive and
effective prototypes.
•Continuously test and refine website layouts
•to align with evolving user needs
