Ainsdale Health & Fitness complete and live!!!


Last week was the deadline for our Interactive Media group project. We completed the whole site on time and got out feedback from the client.

At first the client had a few changes/improvements that he wanted us to make. There was a list of around 8 changes that we successfully made. The client was then 100% happy with the finished site and set up some web hosting. This is my first project that i have done for a client and i am very happy with it! The finished website can be viewed here:

Ainsdale Health And Fitness nearing completion!

Well the Ainsdale Health And Fitness website is nearing completion so we are just waiting on a few bits of information before it all fits together and begins complete. The Staff page is still blank and we are awaiting the info for that, shouldn't take too long to implement though!

So here is the link to the finished website!!


Let me know what you think and it would be good if people could let me know if there are any bugs/problems with the site.

Favicon

I have created a simple favicon for the Ainsdale site. Well its a pretty pointless part of a website but I suppose it makes it look all pretty in the browser address bar and also if you want to bookmark the site.

Ainsdale Update

Well iv not posted on here for a while so thought it was about time!! Over the last week the group project had really progressed very well, we are now near completion. Dan and I have merged our two HTML/CSS file batches together to create the final layouts. We are quite pleased with how its come out, thanks to 6 hours of improvements and tweaks today.

I think the colours really suit the clients needs, I think the theme is lively, fun and energetic, just what a fitness and health centre should be. We immediately new we wanted the website to stay clean, fresh and simple. I think we have achieved this by using only a few colours and clean, straight lines.

The two photo galleries we implemented make use of the jQuery plug-in so that the site is viewable on most platforms and runs more reliably than similar options i.e. Adobe Flash. The two galleries remain simple, clear and easy to use.

We have added links to various social networking sites to help gain interest and attract visitors to the fitness centre. Facebook and Twitter have been our two targets, as these are the most widely used.

Here are some screen shots of how the website looks in its current state. We hope to get some client feedback over the next couple of days so we can make any improvements necessary. We are also waiting on some information for the 'Staff' page and also Twitter/Facebook widgets for the site.

Ainsdale Fitness Photo Galleries

Here are some of the jQuery galleries I have been working on. Can only have them as links because I cant get jQuery to embed in a post.....

jQuery Gallery One

jQuery Gallery Three

Obviously the CSS can be altered to centre them, change the colour and make them fit in with the site.

Ive got some Flash ones on the way and also a slideshow for the homepage.

Slightly Altered Ainsdale Design

Well today after feedback from my tutor i have altered the gradients and colours slightly on my orange Ainsdale design.

I have removed the logo, because basically it blended into the background but also looked out of place somehow. I

have altered the gradient so that it starts darker at the top and gradually fades to white at the bottom. This helped make the title stand out a lot more. I also altered the main content in the middle of the page.
