Website

Please visit my website at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~clewis.

Making a professional looking website was relatively easier than I thought it would be. I sort of cheated and avoided using either Komposer or Expression Web by designing all of my webpages in Photoshop Elements and pasting it into Expression Web as a picture. I am most proud of the background/navbar that I designed for all my pages. My favorite page that I designed was the Trinity Life page, just because I loved how the text and pictures balanced out on the page. I would like to have had more information per page, since the text size of the body paragraphs are somewhat overwhelming and it would've looked lovely in a collumn format. My biggest technical challenge was inserting a thumbnail picture after I did the majority of the website in Photoshop. I had to use layers in Expression Web to put it on top of the main page. My biggest design challenge is making it look nice and be readable with a longer horizonatal page than verticle. Part of the reason I wish I had thought to put the text into collumns is to make my website more readable with the long horizontal layout. I already sent my website to my mom, who will probably show it off to mutual family and friends. As long as I have photoshop, I would consider doing another website for another class.
