General Marking Guidance

• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for
what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
• There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be
used appropriately.
• All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners
should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark
scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the
candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by
which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
• When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a
candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with
an alternative response.

5 Should be identifying factors they think are important 9
• wireframe
• mock-up
• style guide

Consideration and significance

Wireframe
• Provided a clear overview of the page making it easy to see
where each of the elements would go
• Made it clear what the content would be for each element
e.g. gave file names for the content that would be used
• Good at showing the proportions for each of the elements
• Could clearly see the width of the page
• Was good as a method of seeing where the style guide
requirements would be applied as some elements were
named e.g. header, footer etc.
• Was very important but not enough on its own to develop
the webpage
• No time wasted trying to guess where to place each element
as could see where they would be.
• Was good as a method of testing after the page was built –
could check the widths matched the specification etc.

Mock-up
• Gave more detail visually so could see exactly what text
would be used and how it should look
• Could clearly see the colours used
• Was good as a quick way to test the finished web page to see
how well it matched the design
Was good as it gave a visual idea of what would be suitable
padding/margins as they were not specified anywhere else
• Could be matched to the style guide to visualise the effects
of the specifications given
• Was very important but not enough on its own to develop
the webpage

Style guide
• Gave clear specifications for each element though did rely on
the developer interpreting the wireframe and mock-up as no
specific guidelines given in terms of placement e.g. float etc.
• No time had to be wasted trying to what fonts etc. to use,
which would have wasted time
• Meant developer did not have to create a design
