Garden Gnomes
Murray is the proprietor of Garden Gnomes, which is a Brisbane-based company specialising in professional gardening services to households in the eastern suburbs. Murray has five employees: his secretary Natalie, who books customers and prepares bills, and four gardeners who do the gardening activities such as mowing lawns, removing weeds and repairing gardens, etc.
Murray is concerned about the decline in business recently and is worried that some of his gardeners will need to be laid off. He is currently listed on a number of local business websites, but believes that if he has his own website as well, more people will learn about the quality of the services that he offers. This website will also allow customers to book gardeners online.
Murray has decided to employ you to create the website for him. The site will require a page describing the organisation, pages describing the types of services offered, prices, associate companies and a booking form.
Collecting the data
Plan the pages needed in the site, the links and navigation system you are going to use and the buttons, backgrounds and graphics that will be required. The data required in the website is displayed at the end of this project.
Defining the solution
Draw a structure chart for your site showing how the pages will be linked and then draw thumbnail sketches for each page. Refer to the diagrams at the start of this module.
Implementing
Use your webpage authoring skills to produce the website.
Evaluating, collaborating and managing
- Ask other people to use your site and give you feedback on how effective it is. Describe what was said and the changes you made to your site because of their comments.
- How will your solution make the ongoing operation of Garden Gnomes more:
- a efficient?
- b effective?

Our gardeners have detailed landscaping training and can design and complete any landscaping requirements that you may have. Please call Murray for a detailed quote.
