What We Learned. . .

• Jason - I not only learned how to build a
  website, but how to work together to create
  something great. What was cool about the group
  was that each person had their own role in making
  the website and even though some still had more
  technical skills than the others, we still
  managed to come together to produce a great
  website that we all had a part in. Working with
  front-page helped me to see the different steps
  it takes to develop a website. Working in
  Angelfire helped me to see that making a website
  is really easy to do and creating something such
  as our website is something fun and creative.
• Shawna - I learned a great deal about FrontPage
  and web page design in general. This project
  helped us assign certain tasks to group members,
  which in turn made each individual make their
  part a priority because someone elses part
  depended on them.
• Sara - Not having prior experience with building
  a web site I learned all the different aspects
  that go into creating a functioning web site from
  setting up the navigation structure to publishing
  it to the web. Another aspect I learned from
  working on this project is that it is difficult
  to have six people working on one web site.
  Different aspects of the web site can be divided
  up between group members, but it is still hard to
  put everything back together without messing up
  the web site.

What We Learned. . .

• Jeff - Microsoft FrontPage has good web
  components and the templates speed up the process
  of designing and developing a website. The
  templates do not look good though. Angelfire.com
  free hosting is a joke. So I recommend not using
  their free service and find other means to
  publish your website.
• Joe - While the free 20MB of web space may seem
  attractive, Angelfires restricted web
  permissions, extreme latency, and countless
  pop-up ads make it the epitome of disgust for any
  company using its site hosting services. Many web
  components, such as search and indexing features
  simply do not work well through their current
  server configuration. Angelfires embedded page
  advertisements only serve to deface hosted
  websites, and in some cases, overwrite existing
  images with ads.
• Cacilia - I've learned that I don't like
  FrontPage. I think it would be more beneficial
  for the class to learn basic html code. It would
  be nice if the school would offer another
  alternative to FrontPage such as Dream Weaver
  which I find more prevalent in the business
  world.
