Justification of the chosen management services,

tools and software from the range of options
presented in Activity 1 that were used ultimately in
the development of the DuBo Martial Arts website
There are two methods of creating a website: creating a custom-built website and using
online website creation tools. For DuBo Martials Arts website making a website from scratch
was the right option. Custom-built websites offer businesses and organizations a more
tailored and adaptable online presence compared to online website creation tools. They
provide greater customization, scalability, control over SEO, performance, security, brand
representation, integration with existing systems, and ownership and control. While online
website creation tools offer convenience, they limit these aspects.

For creation of the website from scratch HTML and CSS were used. Custom-built websites
offer businesses and organizations a more tailored and adaptable online presence
compared to online website creation tools. They provide greater customization, scalability,
control over SEO, performance, security, brand representation, integration with existing
systems, and ownership and control. While online website creation tools offer convenience,
they limit these aspects.

actively sought throughout the process, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. This
open communication contributed to a final product that met the client's expectations.

Areas for Improvement:

 Depth of Design Documentation: While the overall design direction might be

clear, providing more detailed documentation about specific design
decisions, typography choices, and color palettes could enhance future maintenance
and consistency.
 Metrics and Analytics: Implementing analytics tools could provide valuable data on
user behavior and website performance, enabling data-driven decisions for future
improvements and optimization.

Overall:

 The design and development process for the DuBo Martial Arts website was
generally well-managed and successful. The focus on user needs, iterative
development, and strong technology choices resulted in a functional and user-
friendly website that achieves its goals. However, areas for improvement exist in
terms of design documentation, analytics integration, and future-proofing to ensure
the website's continued success in the evolving digital landscape.
