B is an
evaluation report of 1000 words consisting of reflective commentary on Part A
(worth 40% of the total marks of the

module learning outcomes.
Part A
You are progressing well as a junior web developer
for a leading communications firm BizTech Ltd. An opportunity has arisen for
you to work for a small client company known as Wellness4All. The client
is UK based gym providing various services to its customers such as sports
services and personal training. The activities include swimming pool, indoor
running tracks, tennis, football and boxing. To be competitive and remain at
cutting edge, Wellness4All intends to
launch their business online. The aim of this new website is to offer their
customers convenience, more control and speedy signup for their services to
avoid manual administrative tasks and long queues at their counters. Although
the claim is to improve the customer services, however it is obvious that it
will also help the company to save massive cost and remain ahead in tough
market competition.
The client (Wellness4All)
will use the website to project their presence and the services they offer. The
client will also use the website as a contact tool with their customers. The
website should be simple to use and must consider customer experience when
designing and developing this website. During the first phase of website design
and development, you will design a front-end website using suitable design
tools and technologies such as Adobe brackets or Sublime text-2 and HTML, CSS,
JavaScript on client side and PHP, MySQL on the server side. Merchant payment
integration will be done during second phase and will not be in the scope of
current work.
