My final website includes a homepage, an events page, and a contact page. In terms of the website, I feel this is a good representation of how local newspaper websites are presented as. A range of features seen in my website are used in a range of newspaper websites.
All three of the pages I include use a column on the right hand side to what would be links to individual components. I feel this is good, because it gives my website the structure an actual newspaper website would have.
I have also included a live weather widget which allows users to view the weather for the target area of the newspaper. I like this because it is a live website that I have added in using a HTML code. This is on the header, and shown on all the pages. On my Events page, I have included a cinema listings widget, which gives up-to-date information on cinema listings.
With the navigation, I have included links to a range of different pages - even to pages which I have not added content onto. I felt this was a good idea because it helps add structure to the website, and makes it look nicer, compared to having just three buttons in the navigation bar.
The font styles I have used are repeated throughout the pages, to help give the website continuity.
On the website homepage, I have included an interactive map (using a Google Maps API widget). This shows the user where the newspaper is aimed at. I feel this is a good addition to my website, because it is an interactive feature that users can click on, and use.
