Website

After the video was complete it was then time to move on to the last stages of the course which included creating a website that revolved around our promotional video. We were asked to use a program called smultron which i was quite unsure about, as it was my first time using the program. It was quite tricky in getting a sound grasping on the various codes which needed to be used to create the website with. However after a few tries i slowly started to understand where to use the various codes, how to close them off, start new paragraphs, underline and italicise words and so on. 

The website i created included information on depression about the various symptoms, causes and treatments involved. I included various direct links where people were able to go to if they were searching for help. Using adequate and informed information that will benefit those that are in a place of denial or a place where they are unable to distinguish where they are in their life. 

A picture gallery was used for viewers to be able to have a more emotional heartfelt response to the website, where the visuals will allow viewers to contain a mental image in their heads. A video was also incorporated which was the promotional video i created on depression for assignment 2.

When it came to the styling and decorating of the page making it look more appealing i found this quite difficult. As i am used to having different styles on the actual website to work with, not having to change these layouts from different codes. The colours i used was quite dull and sad, trying to portray to viewers how serious this issue is and how sad the topic is. The banner included made it easy to identify what the website was about as i incorporated large writing clearly stating it was about depression. The colours used again was dull and boring.
