CP5637 - Content Management Systems Assignment - James Cook University, Australia

Task: Design, create and publish websites for your own startup idea using two different well-known CMSs.

"A startup is a company working to solve a problem where the solution is not obvious and success is not guaranteed" says Neil Blumenthal, cofounder and co-CEO of Warby Parker.

Wikipedia says a startup is an entrepreneurial venture or a new business designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. It is not just a new business... So, your idea must have some innovative and novel aspect to it. Examples of business ideas that are NOT startups include: online clothing store, hair dressing salon, IT consultancy, website design company, restaurant... Those are all "tried and true" or "normal" businesses where the solution is obvious, and are therefore not suitable for your assignment topic.

Design: The two sites should have the same content and structure but do not need to be identical. They should look as similar as practical, but you do not need to create custom themes/templates. You can use any available designs, but they should be appropriate for your goal and target audience. As an idea of what is meant by "similar", you should be able to describe the site and how to use it to anyone and they could see/use either site with no trouble. E.g. if you said, "click on the blue About Us link at the top", that should work for both sites.

Content: Most of the content is up to you, but it must be suitable and complete. This could include: details of your product or service (but you don't need a working product/service!) like features, benefits, pricing, comparisons, contact information, privacy/legal statements... and it should have a clear goal (with calls-to-action)!

Some content requirements:

You must also include a short video that you make for your startup. This does not need to be fancy or take a long time - you could just record it on a phone or digital camera that you get your dog to hold.

You need some kind of team page that describes the team behind the startup. This team must include you as one of the members and you should have your own realistic bio for your goal career. That is, think about how you might describe your future self (in 5 or 10 years) and write as if you've achieved that. (This is an intentional exercise for you to focus on employability.)

You need to choose, install and use at least one additional plugin/extension that is not provided in a base install of each CMS (these do not need to be the same) to provide some useful extra functionality to enhance your sites.

Note: You must use proper CMSs (e.g. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.), NOT site builders or WYSIWYG systems like Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, etc. If your chosen system does not have an export/backup feature, then it is not suitable for this assignment.
