In this final unit we were tasked with the planning and creation of our very own website, I was able to do so by the  mean of the resource that were at my disposal. My website was designed and created within Dreamweaver, however the initial designs that got used in my final creation where created within programs like Illustrator, Fireworks or Paint. To insert all my content into Dreamweaver they needed to be converted into Jpeg images and saved as a web device. For the Navigation around my website required hyperlinks to be connected to the correct pages that where created, there were a few links on several pages that would allow users to navigate the website. I also used forms to in both my review and payments pages to seem like my audience can review the movies and also select when they wanna watch a film. For my films trailer page I had to embed them with the code so that they would appear in explorer, however when I improved my website I managed to adjust the scale of my videos so that they fitted the layout. My website have a vast some of interactive elements like buttons, review, payments, film trailers, etc.

I have managed to create a functional website that met the most basic requirements of this unit, and then proceeded to made amendments, due to a client review that improved the overall effectiveness that my website had previously. Even though with these improvement, I still manage to pick up on faults or desire to include more interactivity for my audience. For starters I would make most of my decorative improvements to the Home and Payments pages, even with corrections they are both rather plain and pretty much useless, if I could I would a video that greets the user the moment they enter the site, more options like seeing the best rated films table and I would design the payments page to work more along the lines of Amazon, by creating a search bar allow users to search for the film they want. My films trailers page I wanted to include a comment section below the main video on display, as well as a 'See Review' button to further extend the interactive elements of my website. I would include more images (more like a gallery system) of movies in the individual reviews to allow users to see what they are in for before making a purchase.

At first my websites layout was inconsistent, as my buttons would change with the pages. Also the fonts I used were basic and unchanging for headings. 

Now however the button layout is horizontal instead of vertical to improve the size consistency, also I have changed the font to my original design, as seen above it much neater and less boring.   

Not much has changed for my available films pages apart form the  layout and the installment of a 'See Review' link , once clicked will take you to the appointed review you specified.

Seen above the Films Trailer page improved drastically. At first the trailer were too large and inconsistent making my website looking unprofessional, However I learned that I could re-scale these video and now they are even and neatly arranged. 

Even though my first review page was professional looking, I wanted the films to have individual pages that contained a lot of information.

My improved payments page is above and I improved it by installing 'Top movie ranking', more information on how to pay and included a better film and date selection process, it just as  simple but with better detail to booking

As shown above I have created and improved my website so that it can meet the requirements of this unit. All main pages were created as specified, to start my home page welcomes student to the website and addresses what can be done on this website. Available Films page shows students every film that is available with information regarding them, it fit the purpose because is what site like 'FilmClub' and 'IMDB' use. Another requirement was to have a page that displayed all the trailers of the movies used, that I have done. We were also asked to produce a working payments page, I was able to do this via PayPal and the use of forms to help create a select and purchase mechanic. Throughout my website there is interactive element that help traverse my website, such as the main buttons, 'See Reviews' and Picture links, PayPal, the trailer, etc.
