Website Progress

After a week-long headache with the wordpress format, I'm very excited to announce that my website is near completion. This is my first website that I have built from scratch. I was really scared to tackle such a project knowing that I only had two days to do so, but I had no choice. I scraped the wordpress format and just decided to code a website from scratch. It was actually really fun and I really do hope to learn more advanced things in web development in the near future. I just loved the entire process of creating a website from scratch. The feeling that the WHOLE THING was the result of your own hard work.

The problem that I had with my original idea of a horizontal scrolling gallery was that it would not work well on my phone. The gallery function required that the user use the scroll bar or hover over a corner of the screen to get it to scroll. The problem is that you cant hover over a point or scrub a scroll bar very well on a touch screen device. I chose to go with this simple layout because I know that it will work on mobile devices.

Because of the time constraints on this website, it is very minimal and clean. In the near future, I would like to play around with some animations and transitions in HTML 5. Possibly add a moving background? I know that I only have 9 featured projects at this point, but after I create enough work to be website worthy, I will add another page that has way more pieces in it and divide it out into categories. But for now, it's time to get ready for that review. =)
