Website development Blog. Page 1/2

Idea generation



The name i have chosen for the salon is COCO and it is advertised as a "Style Haven" for women. the website will be stylish, fun, fresh and interesting. I want it to appeal to the modern woman

Page 1 is the home page of the website. I wanted the home page to look professional with its style and make the reader interested in the website I did not want to overload the reader with information and images on the first page but i wanted it to appeal to the target audience and give the reader an overall idea of what the website and business is about

Page 2 is the about us page of the website. I wanted the about us page to be more informative then the home page and have more going on with its images and information. i wanted to say what the business is about, the services it provides and describe the employees. I wanted to have images of what the salon looks like and give the idea that the salon can help women who feel overwhelmed with todays beauty and fashion expectations.

Page layout
Page 1
I made the salons logo the main image on the top of the page, with beauty images on either side. I have a text box with a famous quote by coco chanel above the main text. and an image of a womans silhoette. i have the navigation bar on the left side and another image on the right side.

Page 2
I have the salons logo on the left side of the page with two images of the salon to the right of the logo. i have the quote underneath these pictures. the navigation bar is located on the left side of the main text and i have two images to the right of the main text.

Style

Page 1.
the style of the page is very fresh, fashionable and modern. I achieved this style by using beauty and fashion images, butterfly images, a light pink background and purple lines dividing the separate sections of the page

Page 2
like the first page i achieved the main style by using images, butterfly images, purple lines.

Colours

Page 1
the colours i choose to use were a purple colour in the lines and navigation bar. i think this will look modern and fun. i had trouble with the backgound as i could not apply the background colour. I choose a very light pink colour to put in a text box and i applyed that as the background. I choose the light pink because i wanted to portray a fresh and modern look. i think that the images compliment the colours i have chosen,

Page 2
i choose the same colours as page 1 purple with a light pink background.

Page content

Page 1
the images i use on the first page show the beauty and fashion services of the business and it also has some decoration with the butterfly and siluoette images. the text welcomes you to the site , explains what the business is and the contents of the website.

Page 2
the images i use on the 2nd page show the interior of the salon, employees of the salon, and a woman. i also have decoration with butterflys and siluoette images the text will tell customers about the business, the mission of the business and briefly describe the services and empolyees.

Website development blog

website blog

week 1

Idea generation

I have decided to make a website on a fictional business. the business i have decided on is a womens beauty salon. The business will have departments for hair dressing, beauty therapy, fashion stylings etc. the main idea of the business is that it will offer services on all aspects of a womans style.
I am continuing to do research on services the business will do.

Page layout

I will be using microsoft publisher to build my website. i want to make it an easy to use, uncomplicated but professional website. I am currently looking at different layouts I can use for the website.

Style
I want to make the website very stylish. the tone of the website will be mature and pretty to suit womens tastes. I have decided to use different famous quotes from women on every page to correspond with the information and services being advertised.

Colours
I want to use colours that compliment eachother and that will also go with the style of the website. I am currently looking at different colour patterns i can use. I know that I want a plain background but with lots of colourfull imagery to make the website interesting and stylish. i am interested in using a little bit of sparkley font on each page. i am currently looking into what font i can use.

Page content
The home page will say what the business is, what is on the website etc
An about us page will contain information about the business.
There will be different pages for the different services available from the business.
The employees page will contain pictures and information about the employees.
There will be a page for different discounts and package deals
A contact us page.

the apprentice,, bill is soo sexist!!

hello there =)
im just after watching the apprentice on tv3 and im very annoyed with it. i really think that bill cullen is sexist! the last 2 weeks steve has been in the boardroom and bill ended up firing aoifa last week and then the other girl this week(i cant think of her name). those two girls are a million times better then steve and did loads more work then him and he still fired them. i really think if they were men he would of kept them in! hes just sexist!! theres no other explanation for it. the 3 that are left are redhaired steve, steve and the 1 from dublin,,, what a load of crap!

xmas day and college stuff

hello, well here i am in web applications on monday afternoon. ive just completed my website with the girls in my group. its a website about a fictional hair salon called envy, were very proud of it and hoping we get good marks for it! =)
coollege is nearly over for this semester =( cant believe its the last week of classes already, we have study week next week and then exams! spose the good thing is were finished all our exams before xmas so wel get to enjoy christmas more! =)
last week the students of cit had the annual christmas day!!!!! it was on thursday, christmas day is the crazyiest day of the year, everyone goes to a pub in bishopstown (usually either the loft or the btown bar) at around two in the day and stays drinking all day! thats what i usually do. This year i think the college wanted to ruin our christmas day =( i had to hand up an assignment at nine in the morning, then finish a database project and post that and then i had to do a project managment exam at two o clock!! ha wa really mean of the college i think!
After the exam we flew up to my house and started the party, the btown was already closed cuz it was full so we stayed in the house till about 6. i headed up to one of my friends house and stayed there for about an hour and then went to the loft. the loft was very messy and full, by the time i left i taught it was 12 o clock but it was only half nine!! all in all it was a bit of a disaster of a day and i blame the college for that! :P
the day after xmas day i had to go to the dentist to get a filling in my tooth cuz it was reaaalllly sore =( ,,,,, warning do not go to a dentist hungover!! the dentist was very nice but it was still horrible, i have to go again this week to get 2 wisdom teeth out, im very scared about that=( i think il make sure neway not to be hungover!
neways ive lots to do this week,,, an exam tomorrow, the dentist, a project to be handed up, and i think il be going to niamhs 21st the weekend in tralee!!
