Week 7: A Step Closer to Becoming a Web Creator

Week 7 of our Digitalization class was quite interesting and productive because we focused on both project progress and website evaluation activities. At the beginning of the class, we discussed the latest update regarding CIPUPM. Our group prepared a list of interview questions to ask the client, and we also started arranging our first meeting with them. This step is important because it helps us understand the client’s needs and expectations before developing the website. Although it may sound simple, preparing suitable questions actually requires careful thinking so that we can gather useful information for the project. It made me realize that communication with clients is one of the most important parts in creating a successful digital product.

Besides that, we continued with DEEDS 4, which focused on analyzing effective websites. Dr Fareed showed us several examples of websites created by seniors for different companies, and these websites will also become references for our own future projects. From the session, I learned that a good website is not only about having a beautiful design, but it must also have strong content, smooth functionality, and good website usability. Dr Fareed explained how the appearance of a website can attract users, while proper content helps deliver clear information. Functionality is also important to ensure all buttons, links, and features work properly, while website usability focuses on making the website easy and comfortable for users to navigate. Seeing the seniors’ work gave me inspiration and motivation because their websites looked very professional and creative.

Another memorable part of the class was when Dr Fareed reviewed our individual personal websites. Honestly, I felt a little shy and nervous because my website is still not fully complete yet, but thankfully everything went okay haha. Even though my website is not perfect yet, I feel more motivated now to complete it as soon as possible. Overall, this week’s class was very beneficial because it combined technical knowledge, creativity, teamwork, and communication skills all in one session.
