'Ello, I have started work designing the header.
Some possible fixes for the new site:
-Vertical nav should be removed; Horizontal nav should read: |
Home, Ships, Events, Hire Us, Gallery | for ease of movement.
This will also keep the page symmetrical.
-Color Scheme: What colors should be used? A palette of about
three colors is sufficient. I believe using a plank pattern for
a element background will cause strain when reading, We should
still use the Red, White, Black theme. The other problem with
using pictures as a background is if we ever implement media
queries.
-For a more professional look, footer links to social media
sites (i.e. Twitter, Facebook) should use an icon of 50x50
pixels, images floated.
-Copyright symbol should be used for copyright information.
Using the term: © will create a copyright symbol in HTML.
I will create a header for the site using the main DREAD fleet
logo. We could use a background image for the site, however I
advise to use a matte background color. The idea for the site
is to be accessible by any level of user and for information to
be easily found. Most people are impatient and will leave a web
page within 10 to 20 seconds if I cannot find what I want.

I'll look for the images to add for social media.
Write the code for a color scheme you like and I'll drop it i.
Do you think ships should be in a popup sub navigation?
A fleet catchphrase could be cool, anyone have any ideas?

The colors are good, we'll just have to rearrange where they
are. I was looking at the other pages and we'll have to change
a lot, I was thinking this coming Sunday at practice we should
review it together and make a checklist on what to fix. I'll
also write any code you'll need in person.

I don't need your stinking code no more....
I have to change each content blocks color one block at a time.
I'm waiting until I get the header before I reaarange everything
