finish building that web site

I’ve finished building the web site for my church! If you want the URL, ask me and I’ll give it to you. It seems to have passed the brother test and I expect that the pastor will like it tomorrow when he reads his mail. I finished the project within one week and got it done five days before deadline. 7 years ago

Well, I started stylizing the church campaign web site today. I started with picking colors, doing some quick layout mockups in MS Visio, then I got to work creating the header. It involved tweaking some HTML until things looked exactly right and whipping up a quick gradient image. The title came next. I had to take someone’s logo for a mailer, scale it down, smooth it out, and give it transparency. It looks pretty good. I then created the main text area, a two column layout. I tried it using CSS and absolute placement, but I found that with different fonts and different sizes, it would mess with the placement of the footer. I wound up sticking with a traditional table layout for that component of the site.

The other pages should fall into line tomorrow after I watch the kids, and I expect site completion in exactly a week of receiving the assignment. 7 years ago
