Introduction
In this document, we provide a check-list te be used in your project management to ensure that Boxalino Narratives have been integrated into all the key parts of your website.
Process Management
When you plan to redesign a part or the entirety of your e-shop, you can plan your Narratives in the following way:
Project Managers define the Pages where narratives should play a role according to the Page Layout Check-list below
Project Managers together with the IT confirm the selection and define a meaningful set of Narrative Layout Blocks (template) according to the Layout Block (Templates) list below
It implements the Layout Blocks (in part based on the provided and links to Layout Blocks best practice schema provided in the Layout Block (Templates) list below)
For Project Manager, get familiar with the concept of Narratives for your projects with our document: Project Management guidelines for Narrative Projects
Page Layout Check-list
In this check-list we identify what are the zones of the web-site pages which will be done with Boxalino Narratives.
By “zone”, we mean a part of the page (typically full width) with a starting and end position which consist in several Layout Blocks (a Layout Block can be a banner, a product slider, a product list, a brand slider, a list of blog entries, …).
Page(s) | Check points | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | All Pages | (Conditional) Zone at the very top above the menu for Header Value Symbols / Top Message (see related Layout Block below) (Conditional) Zone just below the menu is a Narrative (to display a message, banner or product recommendations to some visitors (SEO/SEA) or on some specific pages) | These zones are dedicated to display important messages / information to the visitor when he lands on any page (possibly related to the traffic source). What are the key cases important for you? ________________________________ ________________________________ |
| 2 | Home page | Main zone below menu is a Narrative | Until where does the zone extend (i.e.: from below the menu, until : … (e.g.: the footer)) ? ________________________________ |
