Create a Garden Centre Website for a garden centre.

Evaluation

I had to create a Garden Centre Website for a garden centre. It had to be bright and colourful so it attracted the customer to the garden centre. It had to have all the information of plant details and where the garden centre is situated.

I chose Microsoft Publisher to answer this task because this was better to manipulate pictures around the screen and also you can use Word Art and Border Art to make my website look more colourful and attractive.

Page 1 (Home Page)

The garden centres name e.g., the plant house garden centre. This is bright and bold and in a clear font.
The address of the garden centre. This is important because people need to know where the garden centre is or they won’t come. This is bright and colourful and has a colourful background so it stands out to the customer.
The title. This is the homepage it needs to be there but is not that important so it does not stand out as much as the address.
The 4-hyperlink pictures and the text. These are at the bottom of the page. There is one for Trees and shrubs, one for herbaceous perennials, one for bedding and rockery plants and one for garden supplies. These are the pages and they have there own picture and text saying which page each one is.
Garden Centre information. This is what I get out of the book is on the home page and basically tells the customer that all the plants that the garden centre have come from plant cuttings.
A picture of the garden centre. I have downloaded this from file and it is in the centre of the page; it is bright and colourful.

I used a number of different tools to help me create my website.

Word Art- this helped me create my headings.
Border Art- this helped me create my borders.

I did pick the right software to answer the question because it was easier to make my headings look more attractive and the text. It was easier to make my borders look more attractive and colourful. It was easier to manipulate the pictures around the screen

I did have some problems these are listed below:

The Printer- I found it difficult to print my work, as the printer was really slow. To solve this problem I printed my work off in my own time.
Adding the picture- sometimes my picture would disappear for no reason to solve this problem I just had to keep on adding them.
I also found it difficult to arrange all the pictures and text on to the homepage. I just had to keep on trying to solve this problem.

The testing for this task was to check the hyperlinks worked on every page.

To improve the Website I created I could- make the website a bit more colourful so it is even more attractive.
