Site Map
Content
 The standard text used throughout the entire
website for all content was white 14pt Arial, this kept
consistency and allowed for readable print on any
browser.
 Where images were included they kept with the
transparent theme of the page, this was not
intended, however a way of making the background
translucent and the text and content not could not
be found in time.
 Embedded videos were added, these will play in any
browser, and were easily done thanks to YouTube.
layout
 The page layout is a
standard two column
form: on the left is the
navigation bar, and on
the right is heading,
page heading and
content. Under all this
is the details bar.
Function
 The function of the page is very simple.
 Use of a basic layout means navigation is
quick and easy, and the features of each page
(content, heading, navigation, details) are
always in the same place
 Embedded videos work within the page and
allow the user to go directly to the video page
or my YouTube page.
Design
 Original design for the
page was to use a colour
scheme of black
background, red content
box and white writing.
 However once the current
background was added as a
test, it was decided to keep
it and work around that.
 Content boxes were still
added but were made
transparent so the image
could still be seen.
About me Page
 This page contains
details about me, the
layout is the same as
the home page.
 A picture is included for
relevance.
My Videos Page
 This page contains
videos from my
YouTube page
 Embedding was simple
thanks to YouTube's
build in embedding
code
 However the
embedding code is not
XHTML strict
My Pictures page
 Pictures are displayed
in tiles, in groups of 3
 When using Firefox,
the user can right click
on each image to view
them full size
 Page can easily be
altered to allow more
or fewer images to be
displayed
Contact Details Page
 Email addresses were
left in their basic form
rather than linked via a
single word or picture
 Other contacts are
provided, however
details such as phone
number and address
have been left out for
privacy purposes
Different browsers,
different results
