Here's where we build our basic site, and work out all of the key design factors;

  • What data we need
  • How and where it will be presented
  • How to create the Collection Lists, and show related data
  • How to filter and sort everything we need
  • Any script needed to fill specific gaps, e.g. sorting or filtering issues

Have a look at the demo IMDB Project here, and the read-only project link.

User Review Testing

I highly recommend bringing another pair of eyes ( or many pairs ) in to play to review your design and make suggestions.

You don't want to discover that you've missed anything important after you're in too deep to change it easily.
