Conclusion:

I learned a lot from this project but I am unsure as to the benefits of a fluid site, A responsive site using 4 or 5 media queries and pixels seems like the best way to go for now.  A full fluid site has to many bugs, using images or videos can be messy, and there ends up being a lot more css then seems needed.  Some aspects of fluid I do like but stil using media queries I feel fluid is added work and complicates things that would normally be no issue, like my images on the home page, these stretch and to fix them there is a lot of work needed to fix this,  whereas if it was pixels I could change the size every couple of hundred pixels.

I am happy with what I have learned and how the site turned out.  I feel I understand css and html better for this and going forward I 'm comfortable to try different things and that I could achieve a look a client wanted.

the 6 pages are:

  • home
  • weddings
  • anniversary
  • contact
  • other
  • video
*the video page is a link in the footer


Parts of the site I couldnt fix properly.
The images on the hompage are set by percent, but I dont fully understand how the height attribute works and so the images lose ratio as the window closes.  I tried a temporary fix where the iages are set to max and min widths using the media queries.  This works ok but for a real site ths would have to be addressed.
The main links arent exactly spaced apart, this is because the li's are set to percent and some words are longer so I added classes to each li to try fix this, Its hard to notice but is something again for a real site Id look further into.
