iDAT 206 - Completed Site!

I have finally completed the site. I am unsure on whether I can get it live but it will still be able to link to the forum effectively even if it is just opened from the directory. I will update if I manage to upload it online.

iDAT 206 - Website Taking Shape!

The flash site is coming along very well indeed. I have decided to go for yellows, oranges and reds and I have divided the site into 5 Sections; Home, Recipes, Health, Nutrition and Forum.

The Homepage contains an introduction and what the site should be expected to hold.

The Recipes page should show different ideas on what on-the-go pro's could cook in a short space of time in order to fulfill their RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) quota.

The Health page should show the different problems you could face should you not maintain a healthy balanced diet.

The Nutrition Page should show the essential nutrients that is needed to keep you healthy.

The Forum page explains how to access and what the Forum contains along with a link to the forum itself.

iDAT 206 - Logo!

Here is the finished logo for the site.. I think it gives a feel of sophistication alongside the light and healthy image that I want my site to portray...

iDAT 206 - Target Audience

"I can't be bothered to go and cook/make 3 meals a day. With such a busy day ahead of me for every day of the week, it is so much easier to just walk out of the office and into Starbucks where I can order a coffee and a panini for lunch and then get some take-out Chinese on the way home. I don't care about breakfast, I'm not awake enough to notice anyway!"

"Everyday I do try and make the effort to make some food to take to work, but my bed is just too comfy to bother getting out of it until I have the bear minimum of time left before I need to be out of the door in the morning. I don't bother taking lunch with me to work as I just go down the pub with my workmates or skip lunch altogether."

John, 27 - Bristol

These people that I have heard back from about their lifestyles prove that it is simply a time-based problem that prevents them from having a healthy lifestyle. My site is designed to take away this issue by suggesting sensible recipes to cater for their bodies' needs without having to take their much-needed time away from them.

iDAT 206 - Change of Plan!

Although I came up with good enough reason to have an HTML site, I have opted instead for using a flash-based site. The reasons for this, is because I can make a much better themed site and attract my target audience with ease with Flash whereas with HTML, every element of the site would need a lot more work in order to make it thematic.
