LECTURES



  • Cluttered & confusing aesthetic and layouts: avoid outdated design, too many elements can be overwhelming. The design should be clean and straightforward but visually appealing.
  • Slow loading: 47% of users won't wait longer than 2 seconds for a website to load (Sweor).
  • Poor UX & lack of accessibility: intrusive pop-ups, advertisements, inconsistent elements. Not using a certain accessibility standards such as alt texts on images. 
  • Irrelevant, badly written content: can make the website looks shady and untrusted.
  • Not being mobile responsive: for easy access. 

HTML

  • what is HTML and how?

html describes the structure of pages, comes in pair (opening & closing). Inside the opening and closing, is the information/documents. “everything is wrapped”

example: <element>information</element>

html consist of everything in the website (body, head, title) footers lives inside body

<> html { } CSS

  • block elements

some elements will always appear to start on a new line in the browser window (top to bottom), this is called block level elements. (ex. <h1>,<p>,<ul>,<li>)

  • inline elements

some elements will always appear to continue on the same line as their neighboring elements (ex. <b>,<i>,<img>,<a>)

  • lists

ordered list <ol> - list where each item in the list is numbered (1,2,3/ a,b,c) unordered list <ul> - list that begin with a bullet point list item <il> - the content is inside this code “li”

indentation is by default or can press “Tab”

  • links

internal link - in one tab external link - opens a new tab

type of links :

link from one website to another link from one page to another in the same website link from part of a web page to another part of the same page link that opens a new browser window (tabs)

  • attribute

consist of attribute name & value

  • ID attribute

every html element can carry the ID attribute is a unique identity for 1 element and cannot be duplicates allowing you to style it differently from any other elements (ex: u want to change the style of 1 paragraph amongst other paragraphs)

  • class attribute

every html element can also carry a class attribute class/group the elements you want to change and change it tgt the class attribute on any elements can share the same value/name

  • div (generic html element)

FEEDBACKS

During the first week I prepared 5 websites for Mr. Shamsul to approve, 3 of the 5 website I chose got rejected because it was overly complicated. Then I chose websites like WHO, UNICEF, WWF but he said I need a more simpler website. 
So I settle with https://www.akardining.com/


REFLECTION

At first I was having a hard time seeing the flaws and aspects of the website that I can improve on. As at first glance the design itself was already pretty good and aligned with the brand's identity. However, during the weeks of learning the fundamental of UIUX and started to learn how the web work, I start to notice the little flaws in this website and how to improve it. 
During this first 6 weeks, it is actually my first time learning how to code. As someone who initially wanted to take Entertainment design and ended up choosing UIUX, I was scared cause I don't know anything about coding. But now I enjoy learning how to do it, and actually excited to learn and explore more about it.
