Brief
I am required to create a unique portfolio website, which is to be used as a gateway to showcase my work and link out to my blogs.
What I propose to do...
I am going to create this website from scratch using css and images as I am not so keen on the slice method. the website will have basic information about each module and will have the final piece on display on each page, from this a user can then click to view my blog for more information on each project and the path I took to get to the final solution.
Evaluation
Overall I have found this project very helpful, I have hit a few snags on the way which have meant redesigning my website slightly so that it all works smoothly in practically all browsers. I built the site from scratch using css as I found this easier to do than using slices.
The site seems to run fine when uploaded on to the server which was a worry at first but by compressing images to keep file size down I seem to have managed that ok. the next part was much more difficult, making a blog to reflect my portfolio site was a struggle because there are many limitations in blogger, but I tried my best and eventually prevailed. I used the new media forum to get some feedback to see if the site and the blog have the same feel and I got a reply saying that it does, I also got some helpful advice about not writing "home " on the home page but instead something more inviting like "welcome" or "hello".
