Term 2 Week 8

During this weeks lessons:-

. I have finally completed my Clients Website, with all the specific information that was required to create a simple or professional website. The last few aspects that needed more attention was the bandwidth of the page, to see if it opened quickly to prove that the page was not heavy enough for it to open slowly.

. The second coursework that is needed for handing in on Friday will be completed on schedule and to the best of my ability.

Term 2 Week 7

During this weeks lesson:-

. I continued working on my website for my client. But along the way I encountered several problems with images that weren't appearing correctly. I was to find the image again where I initially found it and transfer it to dream weaver. This problem did eventually solve itself and I managed to continue with the website finishing touches.

. Although I was set back for a small amount of time, another problem managed to spring up causing my background on all pages to disappear! This problem could not be solved due to time running out and the end of the lesson. Hopefully I will be able to mend this crack in the website before it escalates.

Term 2 Week 6

During this weeks Lessons:-

. I managed to achieve a good proportion of the website completed. The Website only has a few more pages left e.g 'Private Policy' and 'Site Help'.

Term 2 Week 5

During this weeks Lessons:-

. My Computer which I was initially using, decided to crash again during when it was in use and as a result lost some of my data.

. As I relocated to another computer, I managed to fix long term problems that caused immense disrupt and problems for the production of the website. With some help from the teacher, catching up to my other collogues was a breeze.

. The actual detailed information, that goes into the web pages is completed, it is only the matter of copying and pasting it now!

Term 2 Week 4

During this weeks Lessons;-

. We carried on with the creation on our individual websites all through the week.

. Unfortunately the computer I was initially using decided to constantly crash on me, and therefore making me lose my work. As a result, I am behind others, but catching up with speed.

. I must continue to gain experience in creating websites and using the correct tools for the correct look on my website. e.g. using the crop tools to resize or fix a certain image, was a new technique I learned during this week and hopefully perfected it.

During this weeks lessons:-

. I managed to start the 'Index page' of my clients website, during this point I included the basic information for the Home page such as, welcoming viewers, introducing the website and what this website contains.
