Session 17 (24th April)

Back to the music of the videos I may produce, I think it will be best to put traditional chinese music, which will bring the tourists a warm welcoming of Hong Kong. As from before, the website has to be user friendly and must link to existing websites for further reference of tourists.

This may be the official website of the HK tourism board (existing website). It contains a very in depth look into every aspect of Hong Kong, such as how to get around the city (transport) and tourism attractions.

For the project, I have also found a client from the HK tourism board, which will help me on the research for my website. He will help me improve my thoughts of how to create the website in a better way. Instead of interviewing and recording the conversation, since my client has emailed me that he cannot make it because of a busy schedule, so we will keep in contact using email services. I will then transfer the text he writes into the blog. It may also be easier to screenshot the email.

Session 16 (16th April)

3.2 Proposed product or service: The website I will create must not mislead people to the wrong tabs, and shall not confuse anybody. It needs to successfully lead people to where they want to read their information.

Additionally in order to give the people accurate information, I should frequently update the website for information such as weather, currency exchange prices etc. In other cases, I can also link the website to the HK observatory or to a program that updates information for tourists.

To include videos in my website to show tourists, I need to input things such as appropriate music and pictures, which must be taken by myself. This information should be appropriate to HK and tourists. To get this video on my website, I should attach a link there which goes to another website containing the video, or compress the video to a decent size and attach it to a tab in the website. The music should be soothing for tourists to listen to and should not include any lyrics. This will disturb tourists as they watch the video. It should also not include genre music such as rock, pop, metal etc.
