Final Touches

As the end of the assignment is coming closer the final touches to the website were going to be applied before the hand of the site. The results from the user testing showed that there were a few more simple issues which could be changed on the site before the final hand in, to ensure that all elements of the site work and are suitable for the user.

The first element which was changed included the social media icons that had been used through the site, as the images were not clickable, so URL links were added to allow the user to go through to the social media if they were interested in contacting the client using other methods, or if they wanted to learn more about the client through different avenues.

The layout of the grid was the next element to be changed, allowing for the white space between certain elements which had been used to show where the grid started and ended, making it easier to style, but was not needed when the site was finished. When changing the layout it was noticed that the ‘Contact Me’ text had been placed above the red line dividers, which made it seem as though the there was no title for the contact section. So the two were changed using the CSS grid method and placing the grid-area for each above one another in the table which had been created.

The last elements of the site which were changed included the opacity of the navigation bar, which was made darker, allowing for it to be seen easier against the background of the site and making it more obvious to the user. After this the final element to be changed was the footer text, which stated ‘Designed by: annabelspain@hotmail.com’, of which could be linked to an email, making it easy for any users to contact myself if they were interested in a website. This was done using an anchor tag with a href link to my email address, and then styling the text with no text decoration properties.

After adding these elements, there were many other sections which I would like to have included, but I was generally happy with the outcome within the time frames which had been given.
