RATIONALE

As we were assigned this brief, I had never did web design before so I was anxious but very excited to try something new. I began by researching into web design, not just the general layout, and how they work, but looking at various fonts used and how clear and fluent the site was, I also looked into the facts on websites on how much time the viewer spends on your page (time one homepage 31secs and users who scroll is around 23%.)

            We were also given task to set our minds into how websites works, (how to make a cup of tea) this set us up for the future, I now know why we did that task, along with wire framing this, helped me to plan my site.

            For my website I wanted something that reflected me, and my work, a site aesthetically pleasing and flowed really easily, as I didn’t want the user getting confused and quitting my page. I went for a textured background to add depth to the page I added little quirky animations to my site to display my personal persona.           

            Throughout the six-week project, I encountered a range of soft wear that I had to get to know and learn to make my site work; I learnt adobe Photoshop, fireworks and dream weaver and how to interlinked each piece of softwear to make my site what it is today, I learnt a verity of techniques such as hotspots, Roll over’s, disjointed roll over’s, linking and div tagging, these certain techniques are used throughout the web today, which I didn’t know until I started this project.

            Overall my finished site is exactly what I wanted, it reflects me as a person, and my work, it flows as a site and is really easy to navigate around.
