Tornado Alley Website

Tornado Alley Website

Scope

This was a website I made about Tornado Alley and what the causes are. I mainly made this website because I was interested in this topic and wanted to share how it can affect those who live in the area and to know when you can expect a tornado. 

Process

First I had to come up with a topic that I was interested in to talk about in my website. To start out I couldn't think of anything but I eventually thought of weather and I knew I liked watching Tornado Chasing on the Weather Channel so that's what I decided to do my topic on. This wasn't very easy to make at all. I basically started from scratch and filling in the code of Dreamweaver with a basic two column layout which was probably the easiest part but adding all the content and divs were very complicated if you didn't do it right. I didn't mess up so bad but it was hard to make the links to the other pages and that got very funky at times. Towards the end my links weren't all working so i had to go back and make sure every page was correct, so I did the same thing 25 times. 


What I Learned Along The Way

What I learned along the way was how to make the divs become more of the website by using them for my whole website and knowing exactly what to put for CSS Styles to make it look good. I also learned that you have to plan out what you need to do each day to get your project in on time and not fall behind or then you'll rush to just get it done and not spend time on making it look amazing.


What I Would Do The Same/Different

What I would do the same is working on content out of school or anything I can in case I fall behind. What I would do differently is to know more of what I can do on my own time so then I don't have to ask for help and learn and get better.


Conclusions

This project was fun and it will help me draw experiences in case someone needs a website on their topic or trying to advertise their product and I hope to keep getting better. Click the link below to visit my website and all the other projects I have done.
