About Us
Hannah was raised by her Schnauzer-Poodle mix, Ella, who taught her everything she needed to know about life, love, and tummy rubs. Hannah's living situation does not lend itself well to becoming a pet-owner herself, so she turned to pet-sitting as a way to fill her need of animal companionship. She considers it a great honor to be trusted with anyone's beloved pets, and could never bear the thought of letting an animal be sad when she has the chance to make them happy (except for in the case of begging dogs; thanks to Ella's years of teaching, she is entirely immune to begging).
About This Page
The intent of this page is to convey to potential customers a sense of trustworthiness and comfort so they will choose to hire the company for services. Because of this the color scheme is primarily rustic browns with forest-green accents, and all the pictures are of happy-looking animals.
The logo and background are rustic browns, while the header is a forest green, providing a sense of comfort and relaxation.
The site has a unified feeling to it because the template for each page was nearly identical; only a small portion of each page inside a div titled “content” is modified on each page. This template allows easy creation of additional pages with very little preparation time and helps the end user feel comfortable as they switch pages. The information is presented clearly in small enough chunks to not try the user’s patience, and the navigation is straight-forward enough that the user will never feel frustrated about not being able to find what they need.
This code was used to format every page in the site, along with a stylesheet.
The code produced this header, which helps ensure the end user never feels lost within the site.
With infinite time and resources the graphics would be much higher quality. I would have felt much more comfortable if I had Photoshop at my disposal to create exactly the logo I wanted, and I would have loved it if the picture quality of each of the animals was higher than cell-phone camera quality. A scrolling header that changes images every 30 seconds or so (like is common on news sites) would be the flashiest upgrade I could think of making while still not detracting from the overall content. I would fill it with more pictures of previous animals, with more details on the story behind them. It would be a quick way to convey much more information without requiring the user to actively click on links to additional pages within the site.
