“I intend to create a website that allows users to plan their allotment gardens without the need for pen and paper and is easily edited. Users should be able to save their gardens and return to make changes at a later stage. This idea came about as I tried to plan my new allotment on paper, and found that decisions about where I had placed structures and beds were difficult to amend. It occurred to me that a drop and drag process online would be far more efficient.

I will know if the project has been successful if a user can plan an allotment garden using the website with minimal support and have a document that they can print and take to their plot.

The design process will include extensive user research set out in my project plan, and the end product will be coded using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I will also use PHP to connect the website to a database, however my main focus will be on functionality, usability and visual design.

I hope to practice research and design skills gained in [module], but the emphasis will be on improving my coding ability beyond the basics taught in modules [module], [module], and [module].”
