Site Design

? Interested in how this site was designed? Here is an overview of how I designed this using FrontPage 2003

The Goals:

• Use only shades of gray.
• Apply DWT technology. (Dynamic Web Templates)
• Use layout tables and cell formatting.
• Use a CSS file. (Cascading Style Sheet)
• Keep it simple.

Steps for this site design:

1. First I created a DWT using layout tables as set up a table with 5 columns and 5 rows
2. Column #1 = 175 pixels.
3. Column #2 = 10 pixels
4. Column #3 = no value
5. Column #4 = 10 pixels
6. Column #5 = 150 pixels
7. The table width = 700 pixels
8. The table height = 100%
9. Row #1, #3, & #5 = 10 pixels high
10. Row # 2 = 60 pixels high
11. Layout cells were created to add the curves
12. Color goal was to use only shades of gray
13. This DWT was then saved in a DWT subfolder
14. The DWT was then attached to all pages
15. Finally a CSS file was created and attached to the DWT file
16. The CSS file manages all fonts, links, and colors

Here are some screen captures of the set up
