You can use drawing software, such as MS Word, MS Visio, or some other drawing software in order to create your storyboard, linear/tutorial, webbed, hierarchical, or wire-frame structure (see the suggested reading resources section for information on website structures).

In a document at least two pages in length, discuss your answers, and upload the file for grading. Useillustrations as necessary to support your ideas. If you have questions, please reach out to your instructor for help. Be sure to keep in mind that your website should be accessible to all users.
