When the 'lounge' does load, it is designed like a pop up story book, which looks and interacts really well. The only think I could say is that i would make the navigation bar at the bottom a bit bigger, and add more sections for me to play with!

First Layout Drawings and Wireframe

A wire frame of a website is used when planning the basic layout, it represents where logos, images and text will be put. I have found that wire framing is a very useful development technique.

My Network Map

When looking into web design companies in and around Warrington I was surprised to see that there were so many, this is a great advantage for me if I am to try for a placement near my home town; Warrington.
