Week 010 - Website Progress.
Hours: 3hrs.
I spoke to Peter today - we had a good discussion about the website.
I've revamped the site now - fixed up the inside iframe borders so it lines up with the footer and header images. Also I've put a border around the site and changed the inside text area to be white - I don't know why I assumed that it was the same color as the background - I don't even know why I assumed the background was that color! :)
So that's all fixed. It's looking very nice and Tom was right about the impact. It actually to me makes things look very clean now with the border around it and the colors. :)
I think we'll be sticking with the iframe version of mine - Peter sent me the sliced up version and it's a lot of code to troll through and plus the firework files are named as gobbledy-gook, though maybe it can be changed to something more meaningful? I'll have to ask him.
We thought about making the site a bit bigger - so Peter will be working on bigger banners and hopefully emailing it to me by tonight.
I tried copying the menu from his site to mine but it didn't work... it probably doesn't recognize it. I'll have another play with it tomorrow and see if there's another equivalent - i.e. a html tag or something.
For now, I said to him that we'd get the Autumn version of the site up to scratch - the changing seasons are just a matter of changing the banner colors and the color scheme.
I emailed Naomie yesterday - so hopefully she'll be busy writing and gathering together content for us. I said to her that I'll be emailing her a mockup very soon - and I think I'll email her this mockup tomorrow (hopefully with the updated menu system) so she has a good idea how the site is turning out.
Peter came up with a good idea actually - to upload the site to our ISPs for now, so we can see it working - so I think I'll definitely do that, especially when content starts coming in.
Peter wants to make the menu black - but I had a look at the menu code and I think we can change it, I don't know if we can use CSS to manipulate it - but I really like the colors like that. And I want it to opacitate.
