SCT Website Ideas

I would like to add a sports page to our Kearny SCT website. This page would encourage students to come to games and show school spirit and support their classmates. Some studnets don't know when games are, so this website would have a schedual that every student could have access to. I like how Mira Mesa High School had a list of upcoming sports events. I think this website would encourage more poeple to go to games and support our school.

Cafe Townsend

<-(First steps of website)
Through this Cafe Townsend project, I saw the full scope of creating a website using Dreamweaver. It wasent easy, but I finally finished the whole website. I think the easiest part for me was adding the finishing touches to the website and making sure there were no broken links, everything looked the same, etc. There were parts that made more sense than others; like writing out the whole CSS code didnt make a lot of sense at first with all the brackets and periods, but in the end I realized how helpful it was and how much time and frustration was saved. The most frustrating part of making this website, was probably when my pictures and videos werent working when I previwed it. In Dreamweaver, I could see my files werent in the right spots but I couldnt always find them because they werent where they were supposed to be. Keeping all my files in order was kind of confusing because I needed to be careful to put each file in the right folder so my website would function properly, sometimes I had 2 copies of the same file and that confused me on which was the right one. A question I have about creating a website in Dreamweaver would be what other things could I add to a website? I would like to learn how to make a slideshow or something with pictures and captions. For the Cafe Townsesnd site, my biggest accomplishment was being able to find a problem in the design view, and fixing it by going through the code. The biggest thing I learned that I'll keep in mind for the next website I make is CSS. CSS is an easy way to make your website look cleaner and well put together, I definatly want to master CSS so I can use it later. Making a website was a fun experience, eventhough at some points it got frustrating.
(Above is my finished website in Internet Explorer).

Coraline: Explore a hand-made world.




Be careful what you wish for.
This website was a 13th annual Webby Award Winner for the best use of animation or motion graphics. The movie Coraline is based on a book about a girl who explores and finds a new world. On this website, you can visit and interact with each one of Coraline’s discoveries by scrolling your mouse around the screen. This website caught my attention because it’s fun to use and explore the site. Activites such as uploading your own picture and adding buttons for eyes is a way to involove yourself in Coraline's world. I think this website was a good nominee because it has a unique set up and great motion graphics.
