This case study continues throughout most of the text. This chapter introduces the Pacific Trails Resort website scenario, presents the site map, and directs you to create the home page for the site. Melanie Bowie is the owner of the Pacific Trails Resort, located right on the California North Coast. The resort offers a quiet getaway with luxury camping in yurts along with an upscale lodge for dining and visiting with fellow guests. The target audience for Pacific Trails Resort is couples who enjoy nature and hiking. Melanie would like a website that emphasizes the uniqueness of the location and accommodations. She would like the website to include a home page, a page about the special yurt accommodations, a reservations page with contact form, and a page to describe the activities available at the resort.
A site map for the Pacific Trails Resort website is shown in Figure 2.17. The site map describes the architecture of the website--a Home page with three main content pages: Yurts, Activities, and Reservations.
