Website Project!

Overview

This project was meant to try and teach us the fundamentals of creating a website and web design because we would not get much exposure to it throughout the year before we make our decisions about our e-Comm classes for sophomore year. In this project we used Dreamweaver to create our own website with instruction from videos by Mr. Olson. The videos were very helpful in giving us the step-by-step of how to create a website and basic knowledge we may need to know for the future regarding the software and web design in general. Our website was very basic and consisted of two pages: home and projects. Our home page had our picture and our
elevator pitch while our project page had our projects we had created throughout the semester.

What did I Learn

In this project I learned about the basics of web design and how to create my own website. Some of the steps were very complicated but I think I followed them pretty while although I did not finish all the way. We also learned about how to use Dreamweaver and it is one of the hardest softwares I have used throughout the semester. It seemed kind of complex but maybe I will be able to learn about it more in the future on my own.

How did I do?

I felt like I did pretty well on this project. I did not end up finishing all of the instructional videos but I am still happy with myself and what I ended up getting done. The software we used, Dreamweaver, was not always compliant with what I wanted to do at the time, but I am still thankful I got to use and learn more about it. Some of my pictures would not show up on my live website like they would in Dreamweaver. Also I was never able to complete my color scheme so my website is still in the basic grey color it was when I started. I could have done a lot more with this project but am still very happy with what I got done considering the complications I had with the software and time limit.
