School Website

KAYLIE INES AND KASEY WELLS

We evaluated our current school website. Looked at other school websites We decided

◦ Wasn’t enough color◦ Wanted video and music◦ More pictures◦ Less adult looking◦ It was boring

First as a class

We brainstormed ideas for new website◦ Something were not debatable ◦ Like contact info.◦ Administration◦ Mission and royal expectations ◦ Navigation (could choose were and what kind)

Drew different layouts Decided on which layout to use

As a small group

Decided titles we needed◦ Pleasant Valley Middle School◦ Administration

Photoshop Elements Paw prints were a Photoshop brush we

found online http://www.obsidiandawn.com/animal-tracks-photoshop-gimp-brushes

Starting to create

Created new file called newindex Reason we did this, until we were finish we

did not want to published to the web. We could still view as webpage just not link

for other to see. We wanted to view it in Internet explorer

because it looks different in Dreamweaver.

Using Dreamweaver 8

We created tables to help organize were to put different elements of the home page.

We went with three columns numerous rows to give us plenty of space.

Starting the Design

Insert image Save to web serverGive a alt tag for all image

Kasey used Slide.com to create a short video.

We wanted it to be fun Had to be short so website won’t take long

to load. http://www.slide.com/

Slide Show

Things we wanted to change◦ Paws for bullets◦ Color changed on navigation

Mrs. Hauff wants us to change title so the fonts are consistent but we like it how it is.

After inserting all the elements

Trying to figure out how to get the paw prints for bullets.
