9. Creating a PDF document from your completed WORD document is a good way to lock everything
down and make the document impervious to alterations (no-one can alter what you have written and
nothing can move around which can sometimes happen when you have a lot of images, tables, and
diagrams in a WORD document).

plan.

The first assignment is for the most part, a plan for your business concept and its associated website. It
is basically a business proposal with some managerial and technical aspects that detail how a website
can benefit a specific business and how the website will look, feel, and run. Essentially, you are trying
to sell someone on the idea of having a website created for their business where you are the website
creator and administrator. Think of the plan as a ‘pitch’ to a potential client, showing off your
knowledge of their core business and the business’s specific goals, describing how websites can
potentially increase market share and most importantly, providing evidence of your prowess in
website design, administration, and successfully utilising Internet marketing techniques. It is a pitch
that promotes the purchase of a website (designed and administered by you) that can greatly assist a
business achieve specific goals, increase their market share, and ultimately their profit margins.
