Once the website had been finished to the best of my ability in the time frames which had been given to me, the website was finally shown to the client to collect together their final thoughts on the design, functionality and overall website. When meeting with the client for the final time they had mentioned that they were very excited to see the finished design as they are going to use it to demonstrate to future employers which is very positive.

On first view of the site the client was very excited by the slideshow of work along with the mix of colour and separation within the first section of the website. In the first mention the client stated that the really like the colour combinations as it emphasises the work on the first section, along with clearly showing the entry into the next section of the site. When moving onto the ‘About Me’ section of the site the background colour choice was greatly enjoyed along with the choice of images and layout of that section of the site. The text was mentioned in the conversation as some parts had been taken out so that section of the site was not cramped with text, but after reading through the information which had keen kept on the site the client was very happy with the overall result.

Continuing to scroll through the website, the client also mentioned the use of the social media icons which have been placed underneath the ‘About Me’ section which they thought worked well as to add opportunities to contact the client. The ‘work’ section of the assignment was also a positive as the client really liked how the site looked on a mobile view with the click through to the responsive images which can be seen on each separate page. The desktop view was also enjoyed, but the client did mention that they thought more animation elements could be added to the site, but due to the time constraints I was not able to include as much animation to the site as once hoped. Other than the slight lack of animation, the client was very happy with the layout of each project and said that each piece of work stood out against the backgrounds and having their individual pages really emphasised the size of each project.

When at the bottom of the page the contact section also went down well, being linked to the client’s email allowed for response to the data which would be sent, providing an enjoyable experience whilst on the site. The difference in the layout of the contact section between the mobile and desktop views also worked well together and provided an interest for the user if viewed on different devices. Finally the footer at the bottom of the page also provided opportunity for the user to move across to different social media platforms, which the client really enjoyed.

Overall, the client was very pleased with the finished site and the main aims for the site had been completed within the time frames that have been given for this assignment. As well as potential users being very impressed with the work which is being displayed on the site, the client was overall very pleased with the finished site and enjoyed almost every aspect of the site. As there had been many setbacks whilst developing the site, the client was very supportive of the work which had been developed and mentioned that they are so happy with the site which had been created and in the end was very glad that the site was not developed using WordPress as the originality of the site is exactly what they were looking for, in comparison to a WordPress developed site.
