project monitoring

Last week in lesson we started designing are websites. I have already finished my website and now I’m just waiting for the rest of the group to finish their 5 pages each. Designed the checkout page, offers page, frequently asked questions page, terms and conditions and the homepage like everyone will designing.

The teacher also told the class that next week he will be checking the blogs to see if we have been blogging and passing us off in the criteria. I know I have because I frequently blogged and updated my blog.

cascading the style sheet

Cascading style sheet can be used to control the format of the website. They can change many things such as font,background colour and etc. They are in a separate file so that they can be used on the main web page. so this means that if changes need to be made, the css will only need to be changed and not the html, which would be much harder to do.

the CSS rule has two main parts:

1. a selector
2. and one or more declarations

we had to learn how to add a list of CSS properties- background and text colour:

• colour
• background-colour
• bacground-image
• background-repeat
• background-attachment
• background-position
• font-family
• font-size
• font-weight
• font-height
• etc......

links can be styled in the same way as text so colour and font can be changed, but links also can be styled depnding on the state they are in, the four states are:

• a:link
• a:visiting
• a:hover
• a:active

for example

#navigation{
   
   
    float:left;
    width:900px;
    background:#333;
   
   
   
   
}

#navigation ul
{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    

monitoring the website

We have started making and implementing the website. With have until the 18 of May to complete it. Which we will present to the client and also give a presentation showing the client have we designed it and if we have met the user requirements.

I’m using the two column layout and also the three column layout the implement the website which I have to create five pages. And the other two member of my group will be doing the same.

presentation deadline

Presentation


This shows that me and my group meet the deadline when we had to present the presentation. We will presented to the client and teacher. The link on the title shows the cross reference to the project plan. The deadline is on the 18th which is when we will present it. and this is clearly shown on the project plan.

forms

On the 24 Tuesday of April 2012 in unit 21 we learnt how to designed forms. Forms will be needed in our website as everyone will be designing one such as checkout or some over page to enter details of the customer. We designed the forms on komodo edit; we learnt how to have a password box, checkbox, tick box and a box to enter details. 

On the 2012-04-25 we should have had a lesson on unit 4, however the teacher notified the class beforehand telling us that the lesson was cancelled.   

changes to the Implementation in the project plan

Changes to the Implementation in the project plan had to be made as we had to have a lesson on the last column layout which we didn't have due to the teacher being ill and absent. This means I will have to move the implementation starting date forward. Which also mean I will have lesson time to create my website.
