Week8B

In class on Thursday we had to create a powerpoint based on our research of responsive sites. My group was given feature content area. We had to look  at about 50 or so websites to see if we noticed any patterns between them . We found that the most common things were that the content to the right would float underneath content, images and text got smaller, and some content disappeared all together. Some unique things we found were when text would appear on top of an image and when image slideshows would stack its images as static images where the slideshow used to be.

Week8 Outside of Class

Outside of class I worked on what I'm going to need for my petticote campground website.
I want to include:
Style Tile: I want to include a style tile because there isn't much style to begin with. I want to come up with a style for the overall website.

Wireframe: A wireframe would be beneficial to me because there is no structure at all now so I want to come up with a structure.

I also want to do some research on what information to include on the site. I am going to look surrounding attractions up as links to the home page.


I called the campground that I'm doing the website for and she told me that her focus for her website is that she wants people that travel to that area to visit the website. She also wants people that ride the bike trails and go fishing to visit her website.

Week8A

In class we talked about the chapters that we had to read. The most important point I got from the reading was that you need to be flexible when designing responsive design. We also went over everyone's website that they chose to do for the responsive website. I found 4 websites each very different. I ended up choosing one that is for a campground at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. We basically took the entire class to go over websites.

Week7 Outside of class/Spring Break

These are the websites that I found. I wasn't sure which one I wanted to do.
My first site is a campground website: http://www.pettecotejunction.com/

The second site I found is  http://www.bottomdollarfood.com/

The third site I found is http://www.elcys.com/index.php/menu

Week7B

During class we had a critique on our websites. I took some notes on what to fix with mine.
Some things to note: 
Show the before and after for my portfolio to show what changed and how my site progresse.
Things to change:
The fact button moves when you roll over it
Images on Display page look like links-maybe make text smaller underneath
City/State should be separated-state with the drop down menu
Get rid of the underline on personal information
Make email link at the bottom an active link
Mess with the scalloping and maybe add it to the red section since its in multiple places
Fix the background navigation part on my home page-not as big as my sub pages
Fix the background white part-repeated image
Fix the sub navigation for Dickens Village-Dickens Village needs to be first in sub nav
Make organ image bigger so I don't need to move the text down
fix home page- the zip code breaks onto 2 lines

OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Outside of class I worked on finished coding the website for Thursday.

Week7A

In class we just continued to code. I ran into some problems. I didn't start out by putting all of my pages css on the same page.  I had to take all of my css pages and put them into one. Once I did that I did encounter some problems. I had align issues. Eventually I got them worked out and everything is centered and aligned properly.

Week6 Outside of class

Outside of class I worked on coding the rest of my pages. I want to get them all done for Tuesday so I can go over any small details I'm missing. I have gotten the basic pages down so that I can focus on the details later.

Week6B

This week we basically spent the time in class coding our websites. In class I got my home page and 1 sub page done. I had to figure some other things out to make everything work correctly. I wanted everything to line up with the background so I worked on making the background the same throughout the sub pages.

Week6A

In class we talked about Java and Jquery and when one  might need them for a website. Then you showed us how to create a template for our sub pages. After that we worked on coding our first page. I got most of it done outside of class but then I had a few problems. I worked on creating buttons our of my images at the bottom. It took me awhile to figure it out but I was able to get it to work.
