Final Presentation

We did our presentation on Monday, I was nervous but felt it went well overall. I stayed within the 7 minutes and managed to show all of the site within that time frame. The feedback I got was that the site needed more writing, this was something that crossed my mind in the production process but I fel that what I wrote was what I wanted on the site and anything else would be just padding. The feedback did raise a good point...that on initial glance, without reading the text... it isn't defined what type of upcycling website this is....so I will therefore change the main home page heading to 'We upcycle everything.' This should make it clearer. Also...the Sitemap...I changed the font to be different because I thought that the sitemap should be different and a more basic font. However, I now know that this does not need to be the case. So I may change that to a more similar font to my contact page.

Image

I managed to fix issue with shoe image today. I will go into college early tomorrow and update online Github version before the presentation at 9. Image was in wrong position in list of pictures in html and I fixed this by moving it into correct position and then targeting the image and not just the div in css.

Testing

I tested my website and wrote up my report today. I wrote an extensive report testing every aspect of my website - colours, fonts, loading etc. I am totally happy with my site excluding one picture of a shoe. My whole website looks exactly how I want it to in Chrome....However, when I open it up in any other browser - Safari, Explorer or Microsoft Edge....the pic of the shoe goes out of place and affects the layout of the whole page...I have tried replacing the image but the same thing happened. I will ask the lecturer about this on Monday. I uploaded my report and presentation to Moodle.

New updates

I made some more updates...I fixed the map so that it is visible online and I sorted out navigation so that it shows you what page the user is on. I then re-uploaded to Github and everything is updated online. I also made Facebook, Instagram and header logos smaller, I feel that they look much better now. The website as a whole looks better. I sent it off to my friend who owns the upcycling business that I am doing the website for and she is really happy so I'm delighted. She hasn't asked to change anything on the website so that's a good sign also.
