TEN4 designed Doreen Collin's website with the aim of it being simple, easy to navigate and have the ability to view all of her pieces of art. I was asked the code the site from an image file using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
I included simple usability heuristics, such as linking the logo to the homepage and keeping the visitors aware of where they are, where they have been and where they can do through the highlighted menu options and underlined links - making surfing around the site alot more enjoyable.
For the development of the galleries, I used simple PHP templates that imported images depending on variables set in the URL. This allows for easy updating of the template and addition of images.
A simple JavaScript mouseover effect was placed on each of the images to change a text field that displayed the name of the piece of art. The pages in the thumbnail view were paginated where needed using a script detecting the existance of pages names and showing number respectively.
Various pieces of art required the ability to have various views in the gallery. For this I designed another template page that checked the server for .jpg's of a certain name, if they were there it would show them.
