Visual organization of our contents using wireframe
We feel especially proud of about your project's implementation:
What we feel especially proud of in our websites implements is the JavaScript, the navigation bar, the organization and the aesthetic. We are proud of the JavaScript on the home page because it is an interesting feature for visitors. Its eye catching and interesting as it takes the visitor around Germany. We are also proud of the navigation bar because it is on all pages so the user does not have to go back to the home pages to be able to go the other places in our website. Another thing we are proud of in our website is the organization. All of the pages are nice and clean, and have a flow about them. The pages are not crowed and confusing, they are simple and allow the visitor to have a easy time learning about Germany and what it has to offer. The last thing we are pound of in this website is the aesthetic. Each page gives the user a visual feel for Germany as the light background how dark text surrounded by a grey box. Each pages keep the feel of our website light and cool. All of the pages also all flow together in the same theme, but are subtly different.
A description of our Websites limitations and the possibilities for improvements:
The limitations of our website is that it only gives the user information on Germany. While this is the point of our website, a possibility fro improvement for our website is the add in restaurants from Germany and have their contact information, and maybe link their site into ours. Another way to improve the website is to add in the Airlines website to make it easier for those intrigued enough to want to book a flight then and there. Also we could add in a place for websites for hotels in Germany where the person who is interested in going to Germany also visit and see the different accommodations that Germany provides in ach of its cities.
