Website Proposal / Purpose

• I choose to do my website on Down syndrome. Since the time I met my boyfriend’s sister, Kira, she has had a huge impact on my life.

• I wanted everyone to see just how loving she is and how happy she can make you just by being around her.

• I originally planned to call the website “The Little Angel” because that is what her name means in Hawaiian.

Website Proposal / Purpose

• In my original plan, I was going to make the website mostly information based about Down syndrome.

• The plan changed because I am not a expert on this topic and it would be hard not to plagiarize.

• “My goal with the creation of this website it to raise awareness about Down syndrome, increase tolerance and acceptance towards individuals with Down syndrome, and to share a personal experience about how an individual with Down syndrome has changed my life.” (Quote from my original website proposal)

Design• I designed the website to lean more

towards the Brandon family, Kira specifically.

• I choose to use purple as my main color because purple and pink are Kira’s favorite colors. I did not use much pink because I thought it looked too bright and heavy on the eyes.

Changes I Made Throughout The

Process• I made a lot of changes over time.• I changed the name of the site.• I changed my sitemap due to having

too many pages, mostly knowledge based regarding Down syndrome.

• I also changed my design of the pages because I felt they were too similar to each other.

Challenges I Faced Throughout The

Process• Trouble with doing the actual html

code and style sheet. Overcame those obstacles thanks to the help on Mrs. B, Nick, and Dan! (You all are awesome!)

• Trouble coming up with ideas for the design. I couldn’t visualize it in my head. I overcame that by looking at other websites and again by asking Dan if my ideas looked good.

Thanks A Million!• Again, A HUGE thank you goes out to Mrs.

B, Nick, and Dan for putting up with my millions of questions and always helping me and making sure I understand what is actually going on.

• And to Mrs. B, and Nick for not kicking me out of their office and getting sick of me for ALWAYS being there!

• That’s all I have!
