When we were informed about this task I had a good idea of what I wanted it to look like i.e. design and layout of content. I felt that an art gallery website would look very appealing if the general design was fairly basic, so that this didn't detract the viewer from the art work which would be very visible and eye-catching on the website.
For this task I viewed a lot of art gallery websites but the main two which really had an impact were, vernissage.co.uk and blueshiftgallery.com. These show art in a simple form as it straight to the point and doesn't confuse the user. My personal favourite was Vernissage as they had everything that my gallery website needed to have, such as artists, exhibition artists, gallery, about etc. This gave me a good platform of where to start and helped when thinking of how to layout my work with information, photographs etc.
When concluding this project I felt that I made a website which was consistent throughout and met the criteria for the learning outcomes. My website has a Content Management System were the registered user can change the text on the 'Info' page of the website. I also used such things as Google Analytics which showed the statistics of my website.
