About
This site was created for ISTE 240 Web and Mobile II, Spring 2017, Instructor Dan Bogaard.
The page focuses on RIT as my location since my actual hometown is a very small, rather uninteresting rural area which I struggled to come up with 10 relevant locations for content to write about, and while I have traveled a lot, I do not know enough about any given location or area to feel comfortable writing about it. As a result, I decided to write about my current area of residence, being Henrietta, RIT, and the surrounding areas.
The site satisfies the grading conditions:
- Design techniques: The site is very cleanly designed, with simple, clean, and relevant colors and clear lines.
- Information is laid out cleanly on each page.
- Content is relevant and (hopefully) interesting and unique.
- Navigation is simple and easy to get around. Sites do not go more than 2 levels deep for the sake of simplicity. Pages are well and accurately named.
- Pages built using HTML5 and CSS3. Semantic tags are used. Pages are positioned with various CSS rules, adjusted for media queries, and the navigation bar uses display: flex to display properly on desktop.
- Images used are my own.
The final site satisfies the following additional grading conditions:
- All headers and footers now use php includes.
- Main navigation now uses JavaScript functions to control the CSS and update on mouseover/mouseout.
- Comments page added, uses MySQLi to connect to a database. JavaScript used for form validation, prepared statements used to prevent SQL injection.
