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, as per the client requirements 1.2 Determine the appropriate server-side language and hosting environment 1.3 Determine additional functionality that the CMS will not be able to handle ‘out of the box’ 1.4 Determine the functional requirements of the client’s additional functionality 1.5 Determine any pre-existing restraints that need to be considered when developing the website solution |
2. Develop customisation | 2.1 Plan and outline, the requirements of the additional functionality 2.2 Create and develop plug-in, extension or new functionality to the CMS to meet client requirements |
3. Create a CMS powered website | 3.1 Install and configure, the chosen content management system 3.2 Install and integrate, the new CMS functionality |
4. Validate and evaluate | 4.1 Validate the final website markup against the current website standards 4.2 Validate CMS performance in different browsers, checking compatibility and core CMS functionality 4.3 Validate the developed additional functionality against the client requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
create a content management system (CMS) powered website, using an open source with additional custom functionality that is not available ‘out of the box’, that meets client requirements
perform basic content manipulation tasks in commonly used browsers
evaluate content management additional functionality against current programming and security standards
customise functionality into a pre-existing core CMS, to fulfil client requirements by programming
validate the front-end code markup against 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:
analyse and describe, a range of content management systems and their respective functionality
explain markup language and their associated standards
outline server functionality in relation to the client and business requirements
describe and apply, server-side language and security techniques
explain the importance of web accessibility.
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, validation of code and programming documentation.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
