webdesign part.2 session-b

After the frames we went to tables and layers. These two techniques are the most popular in web designing, because they are very easy to use and they have huge range of use. The bit about tables wasn't too interesting because I have learned how to use tables before, but the part about layers was pretty interesting, because in few years time all websites will be using layers etc so it is very important to learn it now.

webdesign part.2 session-a

At the beginning of our today's session Martial showed us how to use frames to make a website. I think it was really easy, because I have done many websites, so I kind of know how to do it properly. Actually I have never used frames before, because at the moment no one uses them, tables and divs are more popular now, but I have some experience with html so it wasn't hard to do. Just few seconds before, Martial showed us a video tutorial available on moodle about frames. Unfortunately I know how to do that already ;)

webdesign part. 1

Today We were working on website we have done for Design Methods. Basically we were cropping the psd file and putting it into html. Most of the time on this session I spent on making a flash menu for my website. I have made rollover effects and also sound effects on rollovers. I did enjoy this session because I could improve my flash knowledge as well as webdesign

Virgin.co.uk

Today we also looked at virgin website and we were looking for some bad points of that page. The page is not well prepared for colour blind people, dyslexic etc.

Also because it is all made in flash it causes some problems for the potential viewers because the search engines doesn't support flash files, so the content of the page cannot be indexed into a 'result list' for a set of keywords. But because Virgin is well known company it doesn't really need to use SEO (Search Engine Optimization) because if someone wants to find virgin website he will find it, because it is well known.

ps. I have lost again my research of the good and bad website examples.....I hate MAC's!

SEO - Search Engine Optimization

Basically, it is a process optimizing a website to gain top positions on search engines for various keywords. SEO is the main way to drive traffic on your website.

Meta tags and headings are the main 'tags' that will attract a search engine to put our website somewhere in the result list. The meta tags, headings and links on the website have to be related to each other the in other case it won't work.



"The term used to describe the marketing technique of preparing a web site to enhance its chances of being ranked in the top results of a search engine once a relevant search is undertaken. A number of factors are important when optimizing a web site, including the content and structure of the web site's copy and page layout, the HTML meta-tags and the submission process."

Well as you can guess from the title, we were watching the vidoe about Google as a company, looking on the good ways and bad ways about it. Unfortunately there is more the bad ones...  i.e. scanning all the books and putting them online, passing the information about people to the USA government or FBI etc...what a scammers! 

ekhm also as you can see I have created the new blog, cuz the last one died in an accident, also I wrote about good and bad myspace profile but its not finished yet so ill post it later :P
