Who was your client?
Our client was my mother's company.

How did you get your job?
We went as a group and I asked my mother.

Did you deal with the client directly?
They came to my house, mooched off our food, and then my mom gave them more food and then she assigned them different assignments.

Was there some sort of compensation?
Yes, we agreed on 4 hours of community service learning hours for redesigning her jewelry store's webpage.

What was your role?
My role was to direct work flow and also to take the work the group did and upload it onto the webpage, no easy task as the admin access to the webpage is not user friendly.

Did you act professionally?
I already do work for my mom and knew what to do so everything was done in a timely and organized fashion.

Did your client act professionally?
My mom is an easy going person and so

Describe the work you did.
My work was to fix the tabs of the website and make sure that there were correct information on the pages so that it would not be clustered, confusing, and unprofessional looking.

Describe your creative process.
I chose to arrange the tabs to be less clunky and less redundant. The tabs/page section needed to be altered so that it wasn't hard to deal with so I made it simpler to access and explore.

How often did you communicate with your client?
I was pestered everyday by my mom and took this as a sign to get things done more hastily even if there was no cause to be brisk.

Did you have regular meetings to look over proofs or progress of work?
As a group, we did not see each other in meetings or professional settings.

Were you able to meet the deadline?
We were able to meet the deadline.

What was the feedback from your client?
She, being my mother, gave a backhanded praise by citing that we were only highschool students and that the work was befitting our grade.

Did your client require changes?
No she did not.

What was your favorite part working with the client?
She is my mom and I did not need to work over to please her.

What was your least favorite part working with the client?
Having to see my mom pester me every day over doing things properly.

Would you do anything differently?
Not really, but maybe the tab/page section could be improved.

What did you learn from this experience?
That most people do not have a firm understanding of how the web and web designing worked. Many people assumed that the web pages would be in a user-friendly interface and wanted to do certain jobs that would require not only access to the website but also to learn how to work with html effectively.
