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.
