 * Project 2**

Here are the process work and final project of my website.



For this project, I went into more detail of my concept map dealing with the team; focusing on a specific one, FC Barcelona. In this project, my goal was to provide the user with an experience that would tend to their needs and satisfy their desires for visiting such a site. My users were ultimate fans of FC Barcelona, general soccer fans, and the players themselves on FC Barcelona. The users needs ranged from wanting to relive the moment of the game at the stadium, wanting to read more on their favourite team, wanting to catch up on a sport during free time, wanting to collect memorabilia as well as wanting to sport the team colours, and also was a way to reflect and think back on what happened in the games for the players specifically. Most of these needs were tended to as the site provides the users with information on previous games with game analysis and recap, as well as pictures; along with videos from the week and previous matches with other team rivals. The website also featured an online store where the users were able to purchase memorabilia and team jerseys to wear to games, or at bars etc. With the construction of this site, hopefully the user was able to leave happily and will come back knowing the site is resourceful at its full potential. With current updates and news, this site will surely provide the user with what they need and were looking for when coming to this site. In terms of users needs, I felt I was able to fulfill the site goals as well as meeting the users needs. I just tried to create an easy to navigate and use site, where the user will not be confused as to where to go, and what to look for. Everything is straight forward and sensible, and very direct. So hopefully the users will not have a problem with use of this site. I think the biggest challenge I had was just trying to understand the uses of HTML and CSS, and how they work together to produce a website. The codes were confusing at first and I felt like I was staring at a page full of words and numbers that I didnt know what it meant. So it took a bit of time to try to decode and figure out how things worked. With that obstacle, I just tried to keep the site simple and clean as possible, yet trying to implement the codes correctly and efficiently as possible. I tried my best with the codes but wish that I knew a bit more of how to do certain things, so hopefully in the future I will learn more advanced things to add to site designing so that I can design some cool sites like some on the net. Another obstacle was the fact that I was kind of limited in terms of my knowledge going into this project. I knew a little bit, very basics of it, but very rusty you could say. Without knowing what to do, and how to start, it took a lot of time trying to decode and read everything to get started. It was literally like learning a different language for me and I feel that I am the type to need more time to try to get things right and perfect it or close to perfecting it, being the person that I am. Also, the fact that I had to stay simple, because of the lack of knowledge was hard, as there were times when I wanted to do something, which was advanced, but I couldn't really because of the lack of my knowledge and skill at CSS/HTML. I think for next time, I would want to learn more about CSS and HTML more, and be taught more in detailed rather than so general, because there were a lot of times when tiny details were left out that I didn't know about, which confused me at times and were needed to be known. I think I would also experiment more and try things instead of being afraid and worried that things might go wrong if I was to do something; generally explore more and be brave with the codes. Of course, this is an ongoing thing, but use of time is important and I want to manage my time a lot better for projects, not just in this class, but all my classes. But always remembering to work hard and to stay positive no matter what, and to always keep pushing, to learn, to achieve, and to fulfill and find success.
