300 Word Website/Project Evaluation

The most demanding aspect in the creation of We Are Awesome, was to turn the idea of improving humankind, into something that could work online. This idea, was inspired by my own reservations on the inequality that has manifested itself among civilisation as it continues to progress. To realistically achieve this with a website, required constant re-evaluation and a leap of faith. This initial idea envisioned and worked towards, was met beyond my hypothetical expectations.

Numerous challenges were faced in achievement, particularly the design of the website and the content offered. The final layout of the website is concise and sleek, which was ensured that it would visually appeal, if the premise of the website were not to. The content created had to be inventive, as the website is purely conceptual; it needed to educate, enthuse and inspire – it confidently accomplishes this.

It is debatable if a true understanding of website skills can be derived from the creation of one, when you are necessitated by your module to create one. It was only when I initially used Notepad to experiment, did some confidence amass with the creation process and a better understanding of HTML and CSS and its relevant  tags became discernible, where it was possible to comprehend the task at hand and use Dreamweaver efficiently . Put simply, without tutorials online, the website would not have been possible.

Little of the website requires improvement, but the banner and logo could have been implemented better. Many problems were encountered with the coding of the website, which included the constant incorrect application of syntax, troubles in implementing animations and at times, an envisioned page structure, which only tutorials could fix. The next time, it would be interesting to not rely on tutorials as much, to have a greater appreciation of coding.
