• 1. Separate clothes by colors into three piles (white, dark, and color)
• 2. Put one of the piles into the washer
• 3. Measure soap according to the size of the load, and add into washing machine
• 4. Indicate size of load, water temperature, and cycle preference on washing machine (consult owners manual for washing machine, and tags on your clothes for further instructions as washing machines and fabrics differ)
• 5. Insert coins if necessary, and press start or pull knob towards you to start cycle
• 6. Relax, and wait for your clothes to be done.
• a. Note: Do not leave clothes unattended if washing them at a public facility.

  7. When clothes are finished, separate into piles of what you want and do not want dried in the dryer.

  8. Place clothes in the dryer, and make sure to empty the lint filter before starting.

  a. Warning: Look at the tags on your clothes to find out proper drying method. Use fabric sheet in the dryer if desired.

  9. Select proper cycle, based on temperature (again, consult owners manual)

  10. Insert coins if necessary, and turn on.

  11. Lay out or hang dry clothes that did not go in the dryer.

• 1. Safe Navigation – We will be using arrows at the bottom of each page of our website, links to specific step numbers, as well as a “home” link to allow the user to go to any page on the site with a single click. This is important so that the user won’t get lost in the site, and will always be able to easily return to the previous page or the homepage.
• 2. Intriguing Branches – We will be using links to related websites that allow the user access to additional information on the topic. (i.e. Maytag, Tide, etc.)

• 1. At least one picture for each step in the site. Pictures will include washing machines, laundry, knobs, soap, and any other materials related to the washing of clothes. All of these pictures were taken by members of the group.
• 2. Other illustrations include a bubble background, forward/previous arrows, and a laundry clip art on the splash page.

• 1. Each step will have its own page, and each page will link to all other pages on the site, including the homepage.
• 2. The architecture is very linear with a specific beginning and end page. However, the site does allow users to determine their own pattern of navigation.
