Optimization and Website Construction:
Sprites are used for the top main navigation. Vector images and optimized graphics are used for the website. The website is constructed using css stylesheets with a majority of the graphics displayed as background images. I sliced the fireworks mockup page into sections and used css to piece it all together into a website splash page. So far it displays nicely on different sized monitors and have tested it out on in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and on my cell phone. This is a fully functional website with working navigational links. The sub pages are not yet created but you can view each links navigational path by mousing over or clicking on each link. The pictures used are graphics I created and are a reflection of the title ‘Polar Visions’. One is the Northern Lights and the other is Alaskan Sunrise ~ Sunset. Both images are links that when clicked on go to separate Flash projects. The Sunrise ~ Sunset project jumps in the beginning and I am not sure how to fix that. Eventually the Web Services and Graphic Services boxes when clicked on will link to the Web Services page and Graphic Services page. The flash projects will remain but will include text and be formatted as a subpage. All subpages will have a consistent format and feeling comparable to the main page.
Included is an image of the web page to accompany my explanation of my design.
Also included is a link to view the web page on the Internet.
