Project Objectives
The objective of making this web-page about Sweden, was to give
people not familiar with the country the chance to learn a little
bit about the cold country on the other side of the planet. I also
think that it is fun to try to promote my home country to others.
Hopefully I will make someone a bit more curious about Sweden,
and who knows - maybe they'll go there.
I am quite happy with the outcome of my project. However, it would
have been fun to have the time to go into more details and specific
areas, which I liked to do before I started. This is mainly a
page designed for those who have very limited knowledge about
Sweden. The short time and loads of other assignments have
forced me to put some strains on my work.
Clever Features
I think that what I am the most proud of in this project is the clickable
image map of Sweden. This is because I had to go outside the
lab resources to find a tool for establishing the coordinates.
The map of Sweden is perfect for the clickable feature, since it
gives me a chance to link to specific web-sites that are relevant.
In this case, I linked a few cities on the map to
official pages about these places, where the reader can find more specified
information than I, for obvious reasons, can provide in my
web-page.
Borrowed Features
The clickable image map was made with help from
Poor Persons Image Mapper, which is a very user friendly
tool that I highly can recommend to others. I have also
borrowed my background, featuring elks (animals commonly
found in Sweden), from
Windyweb. I am very happy with this background, and have
made it the core of my design for this page.
Browser Comparison
I have had some difficulties during the making of this page, with
images that don't show up in Internet Explorer, only in Netscape.
And some pictures that show up in Explorer do not show up in
Netscape. All the final pages are now showing in Internet
Explorer, but not in Netscape.
