Dear Miss Jackson,
Thank you for sending me through the designs for the website and associated
information. The flowcharts and list of processes helped me to understand how it would
actually work, which was good, as I have often wondered where information goes once
you have entered it into an online form! I am pleased with the structure and layout of
most pages, but was wondering if you could provide me with some alternative options
for the actual page layout? Im not a fan of the left hand navigation bar, as it often
means you have less space on the actual web page. Is it possible to develop some
alternative designs for this?
Please could you also add some more fields to the fixtures form, so that we can record
whether a bus has been booked; whether lunches are required or not and how many
pupils are going to be at the fixture. Is it also possible to select multiple year groups
for a fixture, as this is a regular occurrence? You may need to also update the table
design for the database, but my understanding of that may be incorrect?
On the login page, it would be useful to have some links on there for staff once theyre
logged in and also to let people know that it is a secure area they are trying to access.
It would be good to also add some links to the staff search result pages too, so that
they can continue using the staff only area options.
Apart from the points I have mentioned above, the designs look great and I feel very
excited about the new system and what it can do. Please can you let me see your
updated designs though and Ill give you some more feedback. Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,

J Walton

Dear Miss Jackson,
Once again, I would like to thank you for creating what looks to be a superb fixture
diary for the school.
I have looked at the demo version you have sent me and it looks very impressive.
Your plans for installation are as I recall us discussing and I would therefore like to
confirm that I am happy for you to come to the school ICT technicians office, where
we can install the system ready for user practice on the 21
st
May.
I will give your form tutor a list of the next two months fixtures. I think theres about
50 and hope thats ok?
I look forward to seeing you then.
Kind regards,

J Walton
