Week 05 -- Site Design

I'm loving that we are through with case studies.  I know I learned things through those weeks but case studies aren't my favorite when compared to practical applications.  Creating the buttons and choices with PayPal was exciting.  Of all the times I've played with websites and self taught web design it has been a lot more disjointed.  I would want to do something specific and I'd search how to do it then spend days and hours trying to make it work.  Definitely not effective or even in an organized manner.

Then technology came faster than I was able to keep up and I got lost as CSS came around and web design changed while I was busy taking kids to school, softball practice, and through beginning band instruments.  When life leveled out I didn't even know where to begin creating a web site and my self-taught via google method was even less effective because I often didn't even know the name for what I was trying to do.  Building on that small amount of knowledge in an organized manner as well as making decisions about how my business model helps me see my dream can and will become a reality.  I can even see the path to get there with stepping stones of PayPal buttons, color choices, and web hosts.
