Week 7 Course Project
Week 7 came with some unexpected challenges. I was unable to load my page to the DeVry server so I was unable to get a working URL to perform to major html code testing. But I did gain some perspective on browser-compatibility issues by compiling research on the internet and from having two users reviews my website.
My first reviewer was a co-worker who liked the magazine feel of my page. He used a Firefox browser to view my website and he had zero compatibility issues. The only thing he found was that one of the Back buttons was not directing to the correct page. Beyond that he made a suggestion about my table of contents. He thought they should be click-able so that you can select the article you find interesting and click a link to directly navigate to that page. I liked that idea so I added links to the Table of Contents page.
The other reviewer used a Safari browser which did present some layout problems. I used absolute positioning for a lot of my images and figcaptions. I think if I were to do this over again I would use a grid layout to set up my pages with relative positioning. Then I would have floated the elements center, left or right. I think this would have kept a more fluid layout that would have been more compatible across different browsers.
Overall, this was a fun project that taught me a lot about web design. I enjoyed this course very much. I just wish I had more time to add more dynamic content to the page.
