List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse the specifications and requirements | 1.1 Determine the required functionality of the website 1.2 Determine the appropriate server-side language that will be used to produce the website 1.3 Determine the content structure and navigation of the website 1.4 Determine the pre-existing restraints that need to be considered when developing a website solution |
2. Research the requirements | 2.1 Research the appropriate solutions, based on website requirements, including the programming language, content management system (CMS), licensing structure and hosting structure 2.2 Research the techniques, plug-ins and additions to the existing content management system, in order to allow the solution to fulfil the needs determined while analysing website requirements |
3. Create a content-management system powered website | 3.1 Install and configure the chosen CMS 3.2 Insert and manage, the website content 3.3 Install and implement the appropriate techniques, and plug-ins |
4. Validate and evaluate the final website | 4.1 Validate the final website markup against current website standards 4.2 Validate the content management system performance in different browsers, checking compatibility, and core content management system functionality |
Evidence of the ability to:
research and evaluate client requirements
create a content management system (CMS) powered website using an open-source solution
validate the CMS against the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
define "content management system" and describe its purpose
explain markup language and its associated standards
outline server-side language and security techniques
discuss web accessibility
evaluate a content management system (front and backend) in commonly used browsers
outline W3C standards and their application to website development.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:
the client requirements, and content
a text editor
a range of browsers
the internet for research and code validation.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
