Like all of my projects, I spent most of the time creating the home page. It is where I create my header, my footer, and other special designs that I will be using repeatedly throughout my whole website. Many things that I created in this website are things that I did not knew how to do prior to the making of this website. It took a large amount time to research on all these things such as how to make the images, while in proportion all fit into the table cells that I’ve created. I also had to learn how to have all different kinds of overlay effects when the images are hovered upon, all using CSS
The design of this website is very similar to my previous design for the Identity Website Project. It’ almost like an improved version of that project. I took a great step with that project, achieving new height, learning how to create an amazing looking header with a fixed image background and a navigation bar under it. I also incorporated some JavaScripts in there. On this project, I kept that header of which I love. But I wanted to create something new, something even better.
After I’ve completed my drafting of the website on paper. I knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted my website to look like. I just needed to learn how to achieve them. And now days, with the internet, what are things you can’t find? But it wasn’t easy. In fact, it was very time consuming. It was the part where I spent most of the time on. Just researching and trying again and again until it finally works. That’s my learning process for almost any projects I guess.
In this project, I’ve learn to make images of various sizes to fit into table cells of the same size without creating a disproportion of the figures (I hate it when people have images of disproportions). Creating beautiful overlays on images that links to other pages. I also learn to embed Google maps right into the website. It’s probably the easiest thing I’ve learned through the creation of this project. Simple take the code Google give you and put it into the website. It’s a very useful feature, thanks to Google. Then I’ve also created a footer that is an huge improvement compared to the one from Project Identity, with so many links and everything.
I think I did an amazing job at this website. I’ve achieved all the things I wanted in the website. The website looks fantastic to me and everything functions perfectly. It’s the website I’ve worked on for the longest, and the website I’ve put the most efforts into. I’ve learned a lot from this project too, which is one of the main purpose of creating this website.
