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.
