Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan and build a basic website suited to organisation purposes and customer requirements. It requires the ability to plan and develop both the structure and content for the site, and to test and evaluate the site before it goes live.
It covers those skills needed by an organisation that chooses to develop its own site, using website building platforms, rather than using the services of information technology specialists.
It applies to individuals who work independently or with limited guidance from others, including senior operational personnel, business unit managers and, particularly to small business owner operators.
This unit applies to self-employed individuals, and owners and employees of any type of organisation including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
