Final Site Report "Meet Ukraine!" By Anna Landar

Purpose

This site was created to be a presentational site about Ukraine. It tells what I wanted people to know about the country from my point of view. On this site you could fine some general information about Ukraine that you could olso read on some other sites. Plus I have included my own observations and ideas as a person who lived there. I also have some information told from being and studying in the U.S. perspective. I have precies marked in dollars and hryvnjas, for example, temperature in °C and °F.

Design

I chose to make the navigation bar on the left side of the page, and it remains the same on every page of the site. I had to divide the content into several categories to make the information more organized. At the beginning of the home page I wrote what is this site about, and then I gave general information about Ukraine (capital, population, and so on) and facts about geography and climate.

I have a History page, but I certainly don't cover the whole history, just most significant facts. I also have Culture, Kyiv, Travel, and Cuisine page.

I am using national flag colors for navigation bar background. I left yellow color for the home page, all the other pages have blue background for the navigation bar. I also have the same logo at the top of each page. Buttons and logo colors are the same.

Problems and how I solved them

My first problem was to divide all the material into pages. I wanted to create People page first, but then decided to include information about people into Culture page, because I didn't have that much to say on People page inself. I was doubting wether to include Cuisine into Culture, or to make it a separate page. And even after I have decided what pages I wanted to create, I still wasn't sure if I wanted this or that material to be on that particular page. So I was trying to use heads and subheads then to organize the infromation.

I had hard time deciding which logo I want, what color, I was changing the background colors. I didn't know where to place the flag thing, and then I began using it in front of every page head for site consistancy.
