I've
selected a "top/bottom" navigation bar design.
In my experience and previous research, this format serves
two, key purposes:
|
1)
|
Top/Bottom
navigation maximizes available content area between
the navigation bar and the footer, especially when
specifically formatting for a single-printed page.
|
|
2)
|
From
a environmental perspective, this format conserves
the number pages created if the visitor chooses to
print it.
|
This
is my third attempt at navigation design. The site has grown
beyond the confines of a simple five or six link navigation
bar. Therefore, to avoid confusion, I have re-designed the
links in this section to prevent a visitor from moving away
from the EDTC617 pages. Now, the top navigation moves the
visitor through the four projects within EDTC617. Bottom
navigation moves the visitor back to the top of the page,
and to the EDTC617 assignment pages.
NOTE:
Project 4 will be a new sub-section of the EDTC617. It will
have a different Top/Bottom navigation bar to keep the student
within those pages, with one important difference: A link
back to the virtual top of the website (the EDTC617 index
page) will be provided.
I am
using the Dreamweaver Template feature to manage my header
and footer content. By placing basic navigation elements
in a template, I can effect changes to all relevant pages
at once. This is one of the best features of Dreamweaver.
As mentioned
in assignment #1, I have an index.htm file in every sub-folder
within my website that contains HTML pages. This makes finding
the lead file easy. I also can reference any directory without
having to specify a specific file because index.htm is loaded
by default.
