Website Design Proposal

Introduction:

This Website is designed to be a functional site for my classes, friends, and employers as well as providing creative inspiration for other people who enjoy making crafts.

Web Site Theme:

The theme of my website will be crafts. Although the main page will be functional for personal information, a major component will be the crafting section. A major goal is to organize crafting ideas for viewers. I hope people will email me ideas of crafts to add to my site. My personal pages will also be crafting-themed.

I anticipate that I will need the following structural elements:

• An overall main page with a table containing links for “Family and Friends,” “crafters,” “employers,” and “courses.”
• The main page of the crafting section will contain a table with links to the following four sections: “crafts as gifts,” “crafts as community service,” “crafts for home use,” and “crafts just because.”
• Links to various outside crafting websites
• “How to” pages on crafting

Required Elements:

My site will include the following elements:

• Tables on the main pages to help with navigation of the site
• Graphics such as photos in the family/friends section and digital photos on how to make certain crafts
• About 20 pages, 4 main pages for the four sections, plus sub-pages within those and pages for different crafting projects
• A cascading styles sheet for a toolbar on the side of my site that will appear on all pages, plus links to external crafting sites and stores

Challenge Elements:

I’d like to build a cascading styles sheet to provide a toolbar for easy navigation. Plus I want to organize graphics in an easy-to-understand yet visually appealing way. The website should look cute but professional. I’d like to use videos where appropriate.
