have highlighted in the e-mail communication. This is a great way to get the
person to visit the site.
Preparing for the launch, you should create a list of contacts that you will send
an e-mail or printed invitation. Once the site is tested and you have completely
sure that it is in working order, launch the site to your audience and most
importantly be certain that you place the Web address on any personal or
professional marketing piece that you distribute.
Review and Conclusion
As we approach the end of the Web portfolio process you have come to a point
where the site design has been conceptualized in the production has been done.
Now that you have a working Web portfolio you can launch it and promote it.
Hopefully it will pay dividends with exposure, credibility, positive response,
and maybe work for hire a form of a gallery exhibition, freelance project, or job.
After reading the last ten chapters and following a guided in text tutorials, you
should have some good perspective on how you will approach and develop
your Web portfolio and the skills to get the job done.
In the remaining chapters discussion focuses on the study of server side
technologies, Web portfolio cases, and a theoretical examination of the future
of the Web portfolio in the information society. The chapter content is not
critical to the tangible output of the portfolio. The goals of the next chapters are
to give you some further information on topics surrounding Web and electronic
portfolios processes.
In the next chapter, server-side technologies, I provide exposure to areas that
allow robust integration of data driven Web pages and the Web portfolio.
Chapter XII presents dissection Web portfolio cases and interviews. I spoke
with many people during the research process while writing this topic. I found
many good cases which illustrate the problems and challenges that others faced
in developing their Web portfolios. In Chapter XII, I share the interviews with
you and try to frame their efforts in a way that exemplifies the processes in
creating a Web portfolio. Lastly, Chapter XIII presents theoretical discussion
in relationship with the electronic portfolio/Web portfolio as a tool for commu-
nication and a vehicle for identity within the information society and new
millennium.
Now it's time to move on Chapter XI and server-side technologies.
