As part of our Photoshop class we had to design a PSD template for our own website. It had to have 5 pages: Home, About, Blog, Portfolio and Contact.
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4

For our final project in web design we had to create another online store website. My website was selling Madonna CD’s. The website was designed from scratch using HTML and CSS. I incorporated a Flash intro with some Madonna music to get the customer into the mood! I added a jquery Carousel, a script I found on the internet, to showcase the CD’s and a lightbox to the jquery carousel so that customers would be able to see the back covers of the CD’s. Javascript was used again for validation, similar to the one used in “Book Magic” website. The css stylesheet switcher was used  again but using images  (little squares) instead of text. The only difference here we were shown how use the include PHP function and using PHP we created a contact form. Very basic PHP but it was fun! This was one of my favorite websites – it has a little bit of everything! View site.

This project consisted of creating a website for an online bookstore using HTML/CSS and javascript. We had to include a css stylesheet switcher and javascript validations. Since we were able to use javascript for this assignment I decided to add an accordion script to display the books. Although I didn’t write the javascript code for the accordion (that is for programmers!) I had to figure out how to include it and set it up properly into the website.  The other part of this project was to create very simple javascript functions to validate the order form. Using the internet to find regular expressions for our validation also led us to many other validation scripts that we ended up using as examples. Again this site is live on a free-web hosting site (which sometimes loads slowly) – view here.
Software: Adobe Dreamweaver CS4

First website – HTML & CSS
Our first project in web design was to create a website on a tutorial of our choice. It had to be created using only HTML and CSS. I created a website on photography, since that is my favorite hobby.  The websites were all put on a free web hosting site for us to be able to see it live. Software used was a simple text editor of our choice. View site here.
