This assignment must be your own work. It is acceptable to
discuss course content with others to improve your understanding and clarify
requirements, but solutions to assignment questions must be done on your own.
You must not copy from anyone, including tutors and fellow students, nor allow others
to copy your work. All Assignments will be checked using collusion monitoring
tools to ensure that each assignment is the original work of the submitting
student. Assignments that do not adhere to this requirement will be deemed as
being the result of collusion or plagiarism. This may lead to severe academic
penalties as outlined in USQ Policy Library: Academic Integrity Policy and
Procedure. It is your own responsibility to ensure the integrity of your work.
Refer to the USQ Policy Library for more details:

In completing this assignment, you are expected to use
available resources such as the practical activities in the study modules, the
Course Study Desk – especially the Discussion Forums (click the Study Desk link
on UConnect – http://uconnect.usq.edu.au ), as well as exploring and
experimenting on your own.
Learning objectives and graduate skills tested
This assignment relates to your ability to demonstrate your
understanding of the various components of an online business, aligning them
with a business’ strategic requirements and objectives and communicating them
to the client as a tangible product for their consideration and evaluation.
Assignment Requirements
Your web site proposal and presentation (Assignment 1) was
accepted, subject to any feedback you may have received.
As the second stage of the tender process, your company has
been asked to develop and present a prototype (a minimal viable product) of
your suggested website before a final decision is taken whether to take on your
services or not.
TASK 1: PROTOTYPE IMPLEMENTATION (60 marks)
1. Use the assigned URL supplied to you by your Course
Leader to develop a preliminary prototype of your proposed e-commerce website.
a. REMINDER: Ensure that the prototype is directly and
obviously related to the business model/category that was assigned to you.
Failure to do so will result in your assignment being rejected and a zero mark
awarded.
2. Configure the site with a menu and navigation links to
(at the very minimum) the following content pages:
a. Home page (including a company banner and logo, and
navigation menu)
b. About page
c. Product/information page/s (include descriptions, prices
and images)
d. Company Policies page
I. Returns and refunds
ii. Security
iii. Privacy and confidentiality

You will not be required to install Word Press on your
computer.
Instead you will be provided access to a pre-installed Word
Press development environment provided by cloudaccess.net via a url link
assigned to each student.
Instructions to access your cloudaccess.net website will be
provided on the StudyDesk.
Task 1 will be assessed for completeness and working
functionality based on an inspection of your website.
TASK 2: BRIEFING REPORT (essay format) (40 marks)

with appropriate numbering, headings and sub-headings on completion of the
development of the prototype. Include the following in your briefing document:
1. Identify the URL of the website and your assigned
business model/category in the first part of the report.
2. Describe the website structure and the purpose of each
element (include snapshots and diagrams where appropriate).
3. List the WordPress components and features you used in
the development of the prototype.
4. Describe the components and features you plan to include
in the final product (should your company be awarded the contract).
5. Explain any changes you have implemented (or plan to
implement) that deviates from your initial proposal and presentation from
Assignment 1.

you have used, as well as any that you are likely to use in the building of the
fully functional website.
