WEEK 7 and 8
In week 7 and 8 we looked in depth at the design and structure of websites. We looked at the importance of grids when designing a website and we were asked to use a grid to outline a web page. Using a grid makes it a lot easier to plan the layout and gives you direction. Without using a grid or any form of planning and jumping straight into the code is never a good idea, this is where problems occur that could have been prevented with planning. Even a simple sketch will help the structure and make it easier to create the look you want.
We also covered the design of a web site, like the use of only a few colors used throughout the site. For example make all the headings the same color, all the images the same style, borders etc. Without the continuity the site can become messy and will have no real flow and users will pick up on this.
