Have you ever done a website report/summary?

hitman · 06-08-2005, 11:30 PM

Have you ever had to do a report/summary for a website you created to someone?
I built a website for a company and they need a report of the work I did so that they can officialy announce it.
It's the first website that I built for money, so I'm not sure what to put in that report/summary.
Shall it be like a dissertation? Shall I put the programming languages I used? The softwares? What support I received? Or more?
How should it be formatted?

I'd really appreciate if you could help me.

I did something like that for a client a looong time ago but it was very detailed. I had to write about :

- color scheme - what made us use the color scheme in question
- brand/logo/identity - what it represents - why it's appropiate for the client's site
- navigation structure
- content presentation
- support area
- search engine optimization process and why it's important to the web site
- programming languages used
- layout

And a bunch of other stuff I cant remember right now

What do you say about this then ? That's what you always say when you make a review!

I dont understand what you're talking about

I thought generally a content writer did a review for the site. I guess what they are wanting is the details of what you did...maybe the programs/software you used. I really don't understand what they are asing of you myself, why they would need that type of information for a press release...as I said earlier, generally a content writer does that sort of thing for press releases and such. This is just what I have found through research and such. I would just write up a report stating what I did, the layout, programs, etc...I used, etc... and leave any "reviewing" (for the actual site-it's content, what it offers, etc...) up to a content writer. You were the designer not the developer...you didn't decide what their content would be, who they would target as their audience, what their purpose would be...did you?...lol, so I would just stick to writting a report of what I had done for them, I don't think you were hired to "critique" the site for them, that is somebody else's job.
Hope I was of some help and Good Luck,
Nikki

Thanks for the replies.

Nikki and StudioWorks, that's what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Although I know that's not my job to do this, it's just meant to be symbolic so that they can approve the website and have it uploaded.

I wouldn't want it to lie offline after all the hassle I've been through.
