My Website

Please visit my website at www.cs.trinity.edu/~lamsler
The program I used to make my website was Expression Web, which I found to be the easiest to navigate. The idea of creating my own website from scratch seemed overwhelming and extremely difficult. However, once I actually began the design it wasn't too bad. Yes, it took a lot of time but I had learned and mastered all the skills that I would need. Looking back at my site, I don't think I'm particularly proud of one page. I'm actually most proud of my navbar specifically, which I designed in photoshop. I think the black and white color scheme is simple yet appealing and the combination of images and text makes it easy to know which page you are clicking on. If I could change one thing, I'd make a more complex design. It's all very simplistic which is generally ideal but for this assignment I wish I'd experimented more. I struggled with making tables, a lot. And re-sizing pictures to fit in the designated space while not appearing too pixelated. I also struggled with some design aspects, mainly the background. I didn't want it to be tiled but luckily it's not as apparent with the design I chose. I don't plan on going around and showing my website to everyone - however, maybe i'll show it to my roommate because I mention her on my Friends & Family page. Creating a website was a great skill to learn and I hope I get to make another one in the near future, particularly when I start a job. It would be a great advertising technique!
