I took onboard Calogero's feedback and modified the mockup to include other sections and alterations to text and images. It was important that I followed this feedback so that Calogero could gain a better picture of what the website would look like and see changes made. (Own Image, 2019)

After speaking with Calogero Gattuso, he suggested the following changes and additions. Header Ramsay Safety Logo to small, make bigger more prominent Move top navigation bar down a touch looks like too close to the top of the page Contact Us to appear in each of the images Review message on Header and match up the correct image for the message being communicated Header Message 1 with appropriate image Affordable annual Retainer fees renewed on a yearly basis Header Message 2 with appropriate image Bespoke training programmes tailored to your companies risks Header Message 3 with appropriate image Simple easy to understand Audits Header Message 4 with appropriate image HSE visit?

We created a new 3D Unity project and enabled Vuforia in the project settings. We added an AR camera to the scene and ensured that the World Center Mode was set to 'DEVICE'. We created a new license on the development portal to get a new development (License) key for our new project. After pasting this into the Vuforia Engine Configuration settings, we added a database to our license so we could add a target. We added a 3D object, our .od file to this target and added this to the database. We then downloaded the database, making sure to select the Unity Editor as the development platform. We then imported this database into Unity. We added a 3D scan to the AR camera which added this GameObject to the scene.  We made sure that the object target was set to the Vuforia Camera so that the camera knew what object it was searching for. We then added a cube to the ObjectTarget and placed this in the plane. Below is a v...

I designed a mockup for the landing page of the website using Adobe XD. I decided to create a mockup based on the Business & Coorporate Bootstrap template to gain a better understanding of what the website would look like. I decided to create a mockup rather than a wireframe as Calogero was finding it difficult to picture what the website would look like without images and appropriate text. Creating a mockup has made it immediately easier to understand and has made the design process more efficient as we have began to discuss changes to images and content rather than layout. Moreover, I have decided to begin with the landing page first as this is the most important page and is what potential clients are going to see when they land on the site.

I spoke to Calogero about coding the website from scratch instead of using WordPress via phone call. He was supportive of this idea as he liked the way the bootstrap templates looked compared to the look of the WordPress themes that he had seen previously. Therefore we decided to look at a number of Bootstrap templates and narrowed this search down to two templates. The main theme Calogero liked was the Directory & Listing theme. Although this theme looked good visually, it was designed more for a restaurant, café and/or shop rather than a generic business website which wouldn't have been suitable for Ramsay Safety Solutions. I explained that I could edit the content so that it is more suited to Health & Safety however the amount of changes that were needed meant that it would be more appropriate to choose a different theme. (Own Screenshot taken from Bootstrap Themes, 2019) Therefore we looked through more themes and found the Business & Corporate the...

While researching Wordpress, I felt as though I was quite limited in terms of coding, design and templates. Therefore I decided the consider other options rather than wordpress as I felt as though I could gain a more professional result using a different method. As I have prior experience coding websites from scratch using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap I decided that this may be the best option when reworking Ramsay Safety Solutions' website. I was however concerned about the marketing aspect of the website and decided to research this. Furthermore, I also contacted the marketing company that was managing this for Ramsay Safety Solutions' previous website to make sure that they would be able to market the site (as this was the main reason why I was continuing to use Wordpress). Stuart assured me that they would be able to do this without the use of WordPress plugins. Now that I gained an idea from Stuart of what needed to be included in the website, I researched ...

Chris took us through Vuforia and how to use this in Unity. As I had already downloaded Unity but didn't add Vuforia when installing, I had to download the Vuforia support for Unity. We added an AR camera using the Vuforia Engine and added an ImageTarget to the camera. We deleted the other GameObjects from the scene that weren't needed for this project. In the project settings' XR settings we enabled the Vuforia Augmented Reality Support. We then pressed 'Add Target' to the ImageTarget GameObject and we were automatically sent to the Vuforia site. We logged in created a project and went to the develop section and pressed, 'Get Development Key'. This gave us a free development license key.  On the AR camera we clicked 'Open Vuforia Engine Configuration' which allowed us to insert the development key in the 'App Licence Key' section. We then added a database to the project we created earlier and added a target...
