Website! Yaaay?

[gwendolyngrey]

I just finished my "For Reals" website for my portfolio class.

It would have been a lot easier if the instructor had actually known Dreamweaver.

I'll have a lot more to add to it once my senior show is finished in the spring, but for now it'll do.  And I still have to buy a domain and get a host; it's temporarily uploaded to some space I have on GVSU's server.

Critique?  Advice?  Any niggly bits I might want to change before Wed. (when it'll be critiqued in class)?

Okay, so I was going to be a killjoy and be like, "It doesn't work for me and I can't see anything but the borders--the art doesn't load for me," but then I visited again and it worked.

That's really my only complaint, though, that it's kind of spotty as to whether or not those thumbs for your costumes actually show up as links, or just as tiny unclickable pictures, and whether or not the thumbs at the bottom of each page load a larger picture when I mouse over them. The actual design is lovely! :)

P.S. Julie said she doesn't care what the site for March looks like as long as it's pretty and that she'll have more content-related stuff later.

SmartAleck is right, the thumbs at the bottom all work once you give the page enough time to pre-load them. Give it a second...

And I should do something about the tiny thumbs on the costume page. They aren't meant to be links, but it seems that people intuitively see them as such. I'll have to re-think that bit.

The website for the March event should be built as soon as possible (i.e. begining of break), so I'll need ALL the information very soon... I ought to email Julie.

Yes, you ought. But she did say that she hasn't really written anything down yet so you're probably still good.

I figured out the interface after a few minutes. But the first time I loaded the page, for whatever reason, it didn't load all the way, even though I let it sit--that's why the thumbs didn't work.

Has anybody named this event yet?
