REFLECTION
Experiences
These two weeks of learning gave me a basic understanding of HTML and how to use Dreamweaver, which made me excited. During Project 1, I went from analyzing the original website’s structure to planning my own page layout, and gradually improved my understanding of how web pages are built. Every small adjustment made me realize that web design is not just about making things look nice, but also about thinking from the user’s perspective.
Observation
I observed that a website’s design needs to make users feel comfortable at first glance to encourage them to keep exploring. While redesigning this website, I noticed that although the original site had some cute visual elements, the overall color combination was not harmonious, and the lack of a navigation bar made it difficult for users to interact. When looking at other children's book websites, I found that using soft colors and clear buttons is more effective in attracting users. In addition, many successful sites have a clear information structure, placing key content in prominent positions on the homepage. I applied this approach in my redesign.
Finding
I found that writing good code is not easy. It requires careful attention to detail and the ability to quickly find and fix errors. I also realized that web design is not just about making things look nice but more importantly about improving the user’s browsing experience and emotional connection. The choice of colors and fonts can directly affect the website’s mood and how well it appeals to the target audience. This made me pay more attention to visual language during the design process. I also learned how to combine brand identity, the author’s story, and web content to make the site more consistent and attractive overall.
