Final Site

I did my final website over Freedom Worship Center in Dreamweaver.  The colors and photos were chosen by the client. I created the custom made header, the CSS, and links.  The client wanted the website to be clean, and easy to navigate. The target audience was the Joplin area, and the middle class. The Home page has a Flash slideshow and several other pages have smaller slideshows. The Worship Times page has a link to Google maps and shows the exact location of the church.  Current events page has a link to their custom made blog.  The Youth page has a link to the facebook page.  The Media page will have a way to access audio files and video of sermons. The Contact us page has a direct email and message box with a submit button, that sends the email directly to Freedom Worship Center's email box. Click the image about to go directly to the website.

Customer Wordpress Blog

Columbus Tae Kwon Do was my customer for my customer Wordpress blog.  The instructor needed a way to let students know about upcoming test times/tournament dates, and to share photos and information of tournaments and events. He also wanted to be able to share with other SWAT members information, photos, and upcoming events/tournaments. The target audience is the Columbus Kansas area, current students of Columbus Tae Kwon Do, ages 15-40, the middle class, and SWAT (South West Association of Tournaments) members.
I used the Columbus Tae Kwon Do logo with the blue from the logo for the background.  Keeping it simple by using black text on white background in the text area makes it easy to read. The gadgets used were image, which is nice to see what the instructor looks like first thing.  Search, used if a student is looking for a partial part of a post. Recent posts and the archives, good for looking at previous posts. The Blogroll, here I linked the SWAT member home page and Columbus Tae Kwon Do's Website.  Students will most likely be needing acess to both these websites. Email Subscription, lets students know when their instructor updates the blog.  I thought it would be neat to have a calendar so I put that on there.  Blog Stats to show how many have looked at this blog, at this time it is at an impressive 286.
