Friday December 6th


  1. What are you most proud of on your product website? Explain what it is and why you are proud of that specific item. This could be a design, layout, image, navigation, etc.
  2. Looking back on the website process and after seeing other students websites, what would you have done differently? Would you have spent more time on it? Mapped out the original idea better? Explain.
  3. Thinking about just the "interaction" element of your website; meaning how the user interacts with the design and layout - where they click and how they navigate through the site. What did you do to make this easier on the user? What could you have done better to make the interaction of your site better? Explain.
  4. Think back to all the websites you looked at yesterday in class, was there a website that stood out to your or was a favorite of yours (besides your own)? What made it good? Why was it your favorite. Explain.
  5. If you were to give advice to future web design students about this project, what would you tell them? Why would you tell them that?

I am most proud of the fact that I finished my entire website on time with a lot of information on each page. I had a good amount of information and pictures on each page that I thought looked really well in the end. I also enjoyed my color scheme with the different color blocking. Overall, I am most proud of--if I had to pick something--was my small, medium, and large pages. I think the puppies for sale pictures I made were super cute and I loved the pages. I really did like my website and thought it was my best one yet.
I would have either put less information on each page or make less pages. Instead of 15 pages I had like 20+ and by the day it was due, I had to go back and delete some pages I did not finish because I had no time to complete them. I also would have made the references page first because going back and having to find each image on Google was time consuming and challenging.
All of my pages linked up with the right page and the navigation was big and on the top for easy access for the customers. Also my footer had a navigation bar so users could go to the top or bottom of the page to link up to new pages. I could have added other places to click on on my website. You could only click on the navigation bar and the two click here buttons for job applications. I should have linked up my pictures with stuff and linked the companies I mentioned in my website with their home website.
I really enjoyed Daniel's website. I loved his shop now page on the home page (that you made). I also enjoyed how the bottom of his website stayed the same, not just the footer but some pictures. I also really liked Frankie's. His was overall just a really good designed website and looks like one that would actually be used online by a shoe company.
The advice I would give to future web design kids is: DO THE REFERENCES PAGE THROUGH OUT YOUR WEBSITE. It is so challenging going back and finding ever single picture that I used off of different sites so just copy and paste the link right as you get the photo. It will help so much and save so much time.
