Web Brochure

 I have never worked in Dreamweaver before so I was very nervous about this project.  I took a communications class in high school and made a website but that was 4 years ago and if these programs are constantly updated.

To begin this project I opened up 5 blank Dreamweaver documents.  I saved each of the documents under different names; index, contact, about, location, and frequent designers.  I began working on the index document, also called the homepage.  I put a horizontal list of the index, contact, about, and location at the top of each of the 5 documents.  Since I could not remember how to link each page the easy way for each of the 5 titles in the 5 documents I had hand type in where I wanted each title to link to.  At the bottom of Dreamweaver there is a Link box that appears once the title is selected.  For each index I linked it back to the homepage.  For each of the contact I linked it back to the contact page.  I continued to do this for all of the titles.  It seems like it would take a long time, but it went fairly quickly.

Once I completed the navigation portion of the website I typed in the proper information into each document.  The homepage does not have any information.  I attempted to put pictures on my website but had difficulty getting uploading them onto FileZilla.  The information for each link or document, came directly from my brochure.

My final link on my website is a direct link to Anthropologie's official store website.  I simply did the same thing I did for the other links to work.  At the bottom of Dreamweaver I pasted the link to the store's website into the link box. 

After completing the website in Dreamweaver, I had to upload my website onto the internet.  I used the program FileZilla to do this step.  I have used FileZilla before, but I had so much trouble getting my website to work properly.  At first I was typing something wrong, then when I was sure everything was correct, FileZilla would not connet.  I was very frustrated, but evertually I got it to work.  It's always a relief when something you have worked hard to do finally works properly.

If I had more time to complete this project I would have definitely figured out the how to properly post pictures.  Although the only requirements for the project were to make sure the links worked correctly, I do not like the bareness of my website.  I would have loved to use the pictures I thought I uploaded correctly.

I am very happy to have learned how to make a successful website.  It's incredibly cool that I know how to post things on the internet that are active for users.
