Final project

My final project was to do a site for a friend who runs a non-profit organization called Grandmothers raising Grandchildren.

I restarted three times before liking the final version. I kept on trying different styles across Mozilla, IE7 and Safari. The final version works across all three. Working with pictures was also a time consuming process. My client is a photographer so the images she sent were about 3 Mb each and I had to spend time in trying to determine which size would be optimal and not take too long to load.

I tried to stick to the wireframe submitted but ended up adding a page (baskets - at the request of client) and not including the recent posts on all of the pages except for the blog. I opted to not have a comment option on the blog because my client is 63 years old and would not be monitoring the comments of visitors. The blog will be used as a means on updating those interested about the project. To create a new post, the client would logon via the login page with a username and password. test/test was used to input sample entries. Going forward realized that should also include option to edit and/or delete previous posts - this option is not currently available.
