Hi There,
The contents of the website have been uploaded at :
http://student.athabascau.ca/~noureenkh/comp266/Index.html
Reflection:
Overall, I spent a lot of time planning and implementing the visual mock-ups I created in the previous units. I also had to spend a fair bit of time brushing up on my html skills since it has been a couple of years since I last used them. Most of my html practice was completed via the W3schools site, which is extremely thorough and provided a great platform in practicing the codes which I later implemented on my own website.
A fair bit of time was also spent on class, div and span tags. I had to practice and research on their usage since they are new for me. This lead me to create meaningful class names and place the div and span tags appropriately so they can easily be transitioned to CSS.
I also started planning the navigation system through out the website. Since my website consists of a number of web pages, it is critical that they all link smoothly and prevent the user from being ‘lost’ between links.
If given another chance, I would definitely spend more time with the actual contents of the website rather than focusing on making the CSSS side work.
Personas:
Linking all the sites to a home page would make sure all users are eventually able to get to the home page. This would especially be useful for users who are not web savvy.
The website would be increasingly accessible for users of all needs and multiple platforms. I have increasingly used Alt tags for image support on multiple platforms. I have also refrained from using too many colors to assist users with visual disabilities.
All headings and font size have been adjusted and maintained for increased readability and quick access to information for the busy website used who need information quickly.
