I made five buttons.
I decided to redesign my website and make it cleaner and shiner. It looks a little like WMP 10/11 with black buttons and shiny tops.

Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver is a program I always have difficulty using, for this reason, I don't like using it. Below are examples of how to make a layout, using Tables, Layers and Grids.
The above website was relatively easy to make using cells and has a nice look.
The second picture is of grids, this was the easiest of all the methods I know for using dreamweaver.
This is a picture of tables as a layout method, it is very limited and prevents diversity between pages.

Search engine optimisation
After a brief lecture about search engine optimisation with Martial i have learned how it is an important part of constructing a website. It allows the site to be found and ranked on a search engine and is crucial for promoting a site.
The Indredibles!
Last week we watched a documentary on the making on The Incredibles with group B. This week we watched a documentary on Google and added contact links to our blogs. Thrilling.

Website Research
Well, this is my first lesson in Website Design. I am doing some research into good and bad websites.
Good Website Example 1 Google.com
This is the homepage for the Google.co.uk search engine, it has a simple ‘clean’ look and a basic easy-to-use layout. The homepage has a number of clearly defined links to access other areas of the site and also allows the user to customise the language and filters on their search. The title ‘Google’ gives the otherwise plain site a splash of colour and changes from time to time with custom designs and competition winners, giving a source of interest to children. I like the site as it is basic and manageable, when searching I like a simple site, which will not interfere with the results.
Good Website Example 2 Computerarts.co.uk
Above is the homepage for Computerarts.co.uk, a magazine series about all aspects of computer art and modelling. The main purpose of the site is to promote the artwork of professional and amateur digital artists. It has a number of links to the four main magazines at the bottom, to the gallery of reader submitted artwork, as well as reviews, competitions and more in an obvious block at the top of the page. The centre block shows the key features and feedback from the magazines and all images are user submitted. The left hand side of the page is a categorised list of useful links and tutorials as well as registration and subscription information.
Bad Website Example Brown University
This website is terrible in terms of navigation, as when the cursor moves over a link, an image appears and the link moves to make room for it, poor design. I consider it one of the worst websites ever as it is impossible to navigate and the content is badly laid out, having to read across and, at times, up the page.
