Website two: Expedia
Comment: Expedia is another travel agency company that is one of the best. I have checked through their website to see what I can find to help me on my t6ask and this is the information I got, their logo is a very exotic one that stands out and is eye-catching, it is established in many places in the UK and popular as well. Just as the Thomas Cook website, Expedia is similar because they have set most of their great offers on the front page of their website so it makes it the first thing that you see when you enter the website.
Tasks
I have broken my objectives in to parts regarding how I am going to do my task.
- Getting information about the travel agency
- Design a logo and a slogan for the travel agency
- Create a Website + Hyperlinks
- Writing reports at the end (User Guides)
- Advertising the Agency
Getting information about the travel agency
I can do this task by taking a week off and monitoring how the company works but I am not going to use this method because it will take too long. I can also do this task by going through the offers they have to offer for their customers but I am not going to do that because it is unreliable and biased. Although I will do this task by interviewing the agency by making a questionnaire and giving it to the manager and letting him do it and extracting information from it because it is very reliable and saves time.
Design a logo and a slogan for the travel agency
I can do this task by getting some coloring pencils and paper and drawing it but I won’t do it this way because I am not a good drawer and cannot design very well by hand. I can also do this task by hiring and artist and making him do it but I won’t use this way because I is too expensive. But I will do this task by using the software on the computer called paint and doing it like that because I am good on the computer and it is free and more accurate.
Create a Website + Hyperlinks
I can do this task by using the open office publisher but I won’t use this method because I do not know how to use this software. I can also do this task by using Microsoft publisher 2007 but I won’t use this technique because it is not the latest one. But I will do this task using Microsoft publisher 2010 because it is more modified and high tech.
Writing reports at the end (User Guides)
I can do this task by writing it down on a piece of paper but I won’t use this method because my hand writing is not that neat and my hand will start aching after a bit. I can also do this task by typing up it on notepad on the computer but I won’t use this task because it won’t look that formal when I present it. But I will do this task by typing it up on Microsoft word 2010 because when I present the user guide to the company it will look formal and professional.

Ease of use
The final product that I have made is going to be an easy to use because the way I have created it I made it in such a way that it will be easy to pick up and use even if you’re not qualified in any ICT. But the things that are easy are all the basic things but when it comes to the more difficult things I will get quite complicated and confusing, so for the people that are not qualified in these kind of things then they will probably need to get some lessons on ICT or if they can’t do that due to problems then the company that I am making this final product for will probably have to recruit new employees for the job.
