Web Project

Website Project

     To finish off the quarter, we did a web design project. There is no class for web design, so we have to work it in during different points of the year. This was our first project of the year.

     To do the web project we watched a series of videos, done by Mr. Olson, walking us through each step. We went into Dreamweaver to do it.  First, we had to set up the website in Dreamweaver. Then we had to go into Photoshop to take a picture that would go into the website.  After that, we would follow the steps the video had for us, pausing the video whenever we had to work. The videos did a very good job explaining what each step contained and the best way to go about getting it done. We could also preview it in Safari to see what it would look like when we were done. Throughout the process, we switched back and forth between design and code. We used both to get through the website. 

   
     Sometimes along the way I would get lost and have to go back into the video to find where I was. That took up a lot of extra time and set me back a bit. I also faced the problem of my website turning out different and needing to find where I went wrong. Along the way I learned a lot about how to set up a website using code and Dreamweaver.

     I don't think I will continue web design because the process of creating a website is not something I enjoyed. Maybe if I get to see the whole process I will enjoy it more.  really like the way my website turned out in the end. I am proud of what I was able to create.
