Jada's Web Development Journal - INFM212

 This week I focused on polishing the Sweet Haven website and making it feel more intentional and user-friendly. I cleaned up spacing, adjusted font sizes, and made sure the soft color palette stayed consistent with the bakery theme. I also simplified some of the wording so the homepage and menu sections feel warm and inviting instead of cluttered. During my heuristic review, I noticed that some buttons didn’t stand out enough and key information like ordering details wasn’t immediately visible, so I updated the button styling and moved important content higher on the page. I also refined the layout by improving alignment and balancing images with text so everything flows naturally from section to section. I made sure the navigation between pages feels smooth and intuitive, especially when moving from the menu to the order section. Overall, I feel confident about my final submission. The site looks polished, is easier to navigate, and better reflects the Sweet Haven brand. The usa...

  This week, I focused on improving the visual design and overall layout of my bakery website. I spent time adding more real images to the Home page and other sections so the site feels more inviting and connected to the bakery theme. I also updated the hero banner, added product photos, and applied a warm textured background to give the site a more polished look without making the code too complicated. Along with that, I refined the spacing, shadows, and organization of the content to make everything cleaner and easier to navigate. Even with the progress I’ve made, there are still a few areas I want to finish. I plan to add more images across the Menu and Pricing pages and continue polishing the layout so everything feels consistent. Some sections still look a little empty, and I want to make sure all the images are sized evenly. My goal for Week 7 is to finalize the layout, add any remaining visuals, and do a final check to make sure all links, text, and images are working correc...

 This week I worked on building wireframes for my website project, Sweet Haven Home Bakery. I picked this organization because it’s a small home bakery and I wanted the site to feel simple, cozy, and easy for people to use. The goal of the website is to let customers browse desserts, place orders, and get information without having to message back and forth. It’s meant for local families, people planning events, and anyone who loves homemade treats. Creating the wireframes helped me figure out where everything should go before worrying about design details, and I made pages for the Home, Menu, Pricing & Ordering, and Contact sections. One thing that was a little challenging was deciding how much to put on each page without making it feel crowded. I fixed that by breaking everything into clear sections using boxes and labels, which made the layout easier to read. This week I finished setting up all the main pages and navigation, so the site finally feels like a real website str...

 This week my website finally started feeling like an actual site instead of just text on a screen. Adding images made a huge difference, and once they showed up correctly on the server, everything looked more polished. Styling the images with CSS went pretty well once I figured out sizing and spacing, but getting the file paths right was definitely the most frustrating part and took a lot of trial and error. Creating and styling a form was also new for me and made me think more about usability, like keeping things simple, readable, and not overwhelming for the user. Overall, this week made me way more confident with working with images, fixing path issues, and adding basic user interaction, and it helped me see how small design choices can really improve how a site feels to use.
