Web Design I

Summer 2013, Web Design I class,
We had to redesign a website of a non profit organization and I selected Greenpeace.org.
We had a great experience of designing a wire frame, sitemap, Development plan and then finally our own website.
We learned how we should deal with clients of real world. We all was surprised to know that designing a website is whole 3-4 months procedure!! Too many things we need to take care about and all coding and designing issues, Oh My God..!! Such a long but fruitful journey and at the end we got a colorful, sweet fruit of the seed we grew and took care for 4 months.

We learned this website design with HTML coding, give a style through style sheet (CSS), a little bit of Java script and how to design a website so that it would be good for all the medias such as Computer, MacOS, I-pad, and phone.

So above is the recent website screen shot of the greenpeace.org. Yes, I liked the colors most but I wanted to minimize the information as it is too much and repetition. I also wanted to change the inside page so that it would be also as interesting as the homepage.

Below are some of the page screenshots of my website:

This is the Home page of the website
1. For header, there is a logo and a search bra which is helpful to move around the website
2. Minimum navigations makes it easy to understand and make the information only a click away
3. The pictures change one after another as per shown in the bottom showing their area of work
4. Illustration with the donate button makes it interesting

5. if we scroll don we will get a footer with a site map of all the links related to greenpeace and social media link which will take us to the facebook, twitter page of the Organization.

6. This is how my navigation look like, on hover it will become green so that it is easy to read even with the picture in the background.

7. This is the inside page under Mission Navigation link, I tried to make it less detailed and a More button will increase the information bar and add some more information if one wants to read the whole story

8. This is another inside page same as all other pages, less information and a link to become a member so that they can easily go to that page, fill out all the information and become a member of the greenpeace.org.

So the aim of redesigning the website was to re arrange all the information so that it will be clear and less boring and make people aware that they can easily participate and donate for such a holy cause.
