B01DWIN309 - Developing Web Information Systems: Sunny Acres Project

This project involves the creation of a responsive website for Sunny Acres, a 200-acre farm in Bendigo, Victoria, encompassing a farm shop, pick-your-own garden, petting barn, corn maze, and holiday events. The goal is to modernize the farm's online presence with a website that adapts to various screen sizes and devices. The website should consist of approximately 10 pages with consistent styling and navigation, validated HTML and CSS, and adherence to graphic design principles. Key requirements include the use of an external stylesheet, layout using divs, meaningful text content, incorporation of at least five images per page, a contact form, and adherence to accessibility guidelines. The project emphasizes the application of progressive enhancement to optimize content delivery for both mobile and non-mobile devices. The final submission should be a zipped file containing all website files, demonstrating an understanding of web design principles and responsive design techniques.

ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION :
This assessment is an individual project.
Project Description:
Tammy Nielsen and her husband Brent live and work at Sunny Acres, a 200 acre farm near
Bendigo, Victoria. Over the past 25 years, the Nielson family has expanded the farm’s
operations to include:
 A farm shop, which sells fresh produce, baked goods, jams and jellies, and gifts.
 A pick-your-own garden, which operates from May through October and offers
great produce at discounted prices.
 A petting barn, with over 100 animals and the opportunity to bottle-feed the baby
animals.
 A corn maze, with over 4 miles of twisting trails through harvested corn fields.
 A Halloween Festival featuring the corn maze haunted with dozens of spooks and
tricks.
 Special holiday events during the winter.
Tammy created a website for Sunny Acres several years ago to make information about the
farm easily accessible to her current customers. The website has become outdated, so
Tammy would like your help to enliven it with a new responsive web design. She has
several pictures she wants to use on the site and has ideas for the look and feel of each
page. She needs your help to apply CSS to improve the site.

MARKING GUIDE (RUBRIC ):
GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments should usually incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion, and will
be fully referenced including a reference list.
The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We strongly
recommend you to refer to the Academic Learning Skills materials available in the Moodle. For details
please click the link http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5 and download
the file “Harvard Referencing Workbook”. Appropriate academic writing and referencing are
inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate.
We recommend a minimum of FIVE references, unless instructed differently by your lecturer. Unless

failed. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard
Referencing Workbook” will be penalised.
Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count – as a general rule you may go over or
under by 10% than the stated length.
GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING
High quality work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We
recommend you work with your Academic Learning Support (ALS) site
(http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5) available in Moodle to ensure that
you reference correctly.
References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books,
chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not the
lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research. Also,
in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text
references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original.
Before preparing your assignment or own contribution, please review this ‘YouTube’ video by clicking
on the following link: Plagiarism: How to avoid it
PLAGIARISM : HOW TO AVOID IT
You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online journal databases
and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Wikipedia, online dictionaries and online
encyclopaedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic, but should not be
overused – these should constitute no more than 10% of your total list of references/sources.
Additional information and literature can be used where these are produced by legitimate sources,
such as government departments, research institutes such as the NHMRC, or international
organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO). Legitimate organisations and
government departments produce peer reviewed reports and articles and are therefore very useful
and mostly very current. The content of the following link explains why it is not acceptable to use non-
peer reviewed websites: Why can't I just Google? (thanks to La Trobe University for this video).
