CLIENT SITE ADDITION/ASSESSMENT
In finalization of our client site, I realized a bit about the work that we completed this semester. I found myself getting frustrated often because I felt as if I was not only doing the load of the work, but that I was also the only one communicating with Katherine. Upon our first presentation to our clients back in the beginning of the assignment, none of us had communicated to create an initial design, so I had to put one together the night before, which was obviously all of our faults. From then we used my website as the basis for the rest of the semester – which was great. However, from there forth, I was the only one to work on the design and on the landing pages, and was the one who was communicating with Katherine for the rest of the semester. I was overwhelmed as Katherine would send email after email, and after a while she began to email me alone. It wasn’t until the last two weeks of work that Violet and Katie really asked what they could do, where I asked them to fix the footer and finish up the landing pages.
I’m not trying to claim responsibility for the website’s entirety, but I’m comfortable in saying that the majority of the work was done by myself. I do resent not assigning tasks for each individual person, however, I feel like that wasn’t my job as an individual, and it’s something we should have all discussed. In the beginning we all had presented great ideas, but hardly any of them were executed. Sadly, I was relieved when this semester ended solely due to the fact that I was so overwhelmed with emails and requests – which would have been fine had I had more help – and it just caused me so much stress.
