Some reflections about my site
Hi!
Thank you for visiting my web page.
I hope your enjoying it as much as I did when creating this page.
During development of this project I realized and learned a lot about web page design.
Therefore I would like to mention some points I came across while creating this.
- Time: Writing a web page takes for ever. Since I was not into web page design for a longer time when
starting this project, I firstly had to get in the topic again.
- Strategy: This web page's design and content was created with the famous trial and error approach..
(How does it look like when I change the margin here? What does this shadow give to my site?
What if I just change it a little?) I bet it is not the most time efficient strategy, but it's the best learning strategy for me.
- Content: Creating a web page is fun, but filling it with content is hard.
It took forever to write text, sort pictures and create a video.
- JavaScript: Almost no Javascript was used while creating this page.
I will definitely try to get more into JS. I tried to experiment with JS a little bit when creating the button
for changing styles or getting the latest Chuck Norris facts. However, I feel this is just the top of the iceberg.
I'll try to get to know about Node.js and other server side applications after this course. It really got my attention.
Overall designing a decent looking page is a really challenging task, but also a lot of fun.
I'm happy that I took the course which made me start on this web page project.
A project I would have never found time for else.
