Purpose:
The purpose of this site is to provide a indept analysis on Morris
Dees and his accomplishments. His role in fighting hate has
been a most controversial one with his background and his achievements.
This site was created for the Seevak
Facing History and Our Selves Website Competition.
Design:
This site was designed by Julie
Ng in Adobe
Photoshop and Image Ready. As one can tell, blue is her favorite
color :)
In terms of design, there were many challenges to creating the layout
of the page. Design was never a problem in creating the page. The biggest
problem was getting the site as a whole to work in all Browsers especially
Netscape
with Netscape
6. It works in all platforms. However the tabs menu in the header
is 1 pixel off, but that's okay and is barely noticable.
The header was created out of a few pictures. The big picture
in the background is a photo of the Southern
Poverty Law Center. In front of that photo is a picture of
some marchers. Then to the left is a picture of Morris
Dees.
In the footer, the background picture is that of a crowd. It's the
crowd that appeared for the 1989 revealment of the Civil
Rights Memorial. And the quote in the footer comes from Morris'
Dees autobiography, A Season for Justice.
Optimization:
This site was created and optimized by the use of PHP,
Javasript,
Dreamweaver
Templates, and Cascading
Style Sheets.
