New index site

 In making my new index I used a template. The template made it so I did not have to do as much coding and it was easier to get the content into a pre-made site. One of the downsides is the fact that it took a long time to figure out what css corresponded to the actual content so it was hard to change the background colors and text color.
The new index page turned out a lot cleaner than if I had not used a template and it has some features that would have taken me a very long time to add. I believe that most professional web designers don't create a lot of sites from scratch but have templates they made or found and use them as the base of any new sites. I think that if you make a template and use it for your sites that it is a good idea but if you are just copying other peoples templates for a profit it is not right and almost should be plagiarism.

New Index Page

Index page link:  http://eravensonline.net/students/823cw21/ In this project we revamped our index page. We integrated things we learned from recent projects.

I chose two google web fonts to add, one for the headings and one for the text.

Also the icons are not standard so you have to think what they are. The red heading looks kind of like a link but it is not clear. The black text does not look like links but it is.

Junior Year Reflection

Reflection Over my three years of being in the eComm program I have learned many valuable takeaways, but today I will only share one from each of the eComm guarantees. First technology, the main takeaway I got for technology is the importance of remembering that technology is not some force to be wielded but a obstacle to push through. This means that technology does no always do what you want it to, but when you finally get it working you have grown in knowledge and experience. Second is collaboration, from my time working on the TV 25 website I learned that sometimes when working with other people specially a client it is very hard to balance creating something they envisioned and creating something that is actually functional and looks good. Third is communication, there are many times, like working on my PHP sites where I had to communicate with some of my classmates. From this I learned that one of the key things to communicating effectively i...
