Creating websites

In the course of my studies at Red River College, I have learned how to write websites using hard coding or what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) software. I am by no means an expert with either method, but do find it is very handy to understand how to use both.

One of my current projects is a website for a dog park. The current webmaster of the site taught himself how to hand code sites with the help of numerous books on the subject, and even though he has started to use a WYSIWYG application, he finds it easier to do some things my hand. Therefore I have had to come up with a creative solution to make a photo gallery. We wanted to create a photo gallery where we can highlight the different areas of the park in all four seasons and show dogs and their owners enjoying the outdoors. There are numerous ways to build a photo gallery, but since both the webmaster and I are volunteers, we wanted to find a low/no-cost method that does not require any additional software. So we found a CSS photo gallery that requires hard coding of the animation and images. (202)
