A storyboard demonstrates appropriate colours, text fonts, graphics, text buttons and their placement. A well planned, well presented website will attract and encourage repeat visitors.

The front-end design of the website will be easily applied to the entire site and will assist in the overall navigation and usability of the site. The page design will incorporate a consistent set of navigational tools, menu bars and quick links for accessing the different parts of the site quickly. The developers follow a "Two Click" rule in the development of websites. This rule allows a visitor to generally get anywhere in the site, from anywhere, with just two clicks of the mouse.

Secure back-end access will be accomplished through a login process. All pages within the secure area will be locked to authorized usage. Three levels of access are defined for this purpose; Level 0 - secure client access to data made available to extranet clients; Level 1 – secure access for clerical entry of statistical entry etc.; and Level 2 – secure access for Administrative purposes including security and approval of candidate entries on the website. Information posted to the website will be given unpublished status until okayed by a senior administrator.

Determine which areas of the site are visited most often, how long people stay on each page, how many different pages they look at, how many hits and unique hits occur daily, weekly or monthly. This function is not included in the current proposal but is added here as a suggestion. There are two possible approaches to this – a plug-in to your existing database or the purchase of a third-party tracking tool like Web Trends.
