Nick.com Nick. Com is the website that is the partner of Nickelodeon TV Channel The site uses a number of advanced tools 2 HTML and CSS The website has been coded using HTML 5 this is the latest standard for web sites and has introduced a number of new tags and depreciated some others. We can tell that HTML5 has been used because the first line is <!DOCTYPE html>. The absence of other information tell us this as earlier versions of HTML usually have the version Number. As HTML5 has been used the coders have had to add some code so the website will work with in particular earlier versions of Internet Explorer along with other browser specific tweaks The layout is not that well-structured with most web pages having a lot of code much of which is jumbled together and it can be quite difficult to navigate the way through this code. There is some code commenting but it does not really give a lot of information as to how the coder has set up the website this could make it difficult for a new web developer to take over the website The coder has used CSS to manage the layout of the pages CSS provides instructions to the HTML for Display things such as colours, font types, and some of the formatting of objects on the page like borders and image shapes In this case the website uses external CSS sheets Below is the Part of the HTML for searching Some of the CSS that relates to the HTML above 1 What is seen on the screen This is quite an advanced technique as it is using the tools that HTML and CSS has to structure output to the screen Asset Management 3 The website has used asset management well the website loads quite quickly and images and videos work well This would indicate that the images have been optimised to suit a web format of around 72DPI and will have been sized so that they are suitable for insertion into the web page. Videos have been compressed so that they use a small amount of bandwidth to play from the web. This is required so that the user and the servers will no use excessive amounts of internet capacity to watch the videos. In this website the videos are not available in this location as it is a United States based website. There are a number of flash based games on the website as well. Flash is used as it also has a small bandwidth requirement. Flash is gradually being phased out and will be replaced by HTML 5 File Management The website when looking at the code has been organised into folders this is necessary so that assets and other parts of the website are organised and available for users and can be easily updated Data Integrity 4 Websites need to be tested thoroughly before being released to the public this can range from a number of people looking at the website ,proofreading and checking that all of the links work and images and other media load. Websites should also be put through a code validator such as http://validator.w3.org/. As well the website needs to be checked against the design specifications to ensure that it meets them. The website needs to be tested in a number of different web browsers to check that the look and feel of the website is similar as the browsers all render the pages slightly differently. Some testing of nick .com must have been done as in my looking at the site I could find no errors or dead links however when I put the code through http://validator.w3.org/ it came up with 393 errors on the home page This would mean that the proof readers had read and corrected any errors and 5 deleted content that was not relevant but had not checked the coding. Ethical issues The Nick.com website has images of children on it from the shows that they screen; these images would be used with permission as that would be part of the contract. Nick.com also has images that show a multicultural consideration with actors displayed from a number of racial backgrounds this done to ensure that the channel and website will appeal to students from a number of backgrounds and to prevent children from feeling left out. 6
