Dragon Ben - The Finale
Here it is- I know you all have been waiting for it!
PS: I made some changes (only those I agreed with ofcourse) and posted the new images in the same post- like I redid the form, fixed some text issues but there are still 2 type languages which I will explain; Master Ha is on the pages due to popular demand; contact page has been finessed with smaller logo. Splash page still stays and that issue shall be addressed as well.
Thank you all for your suggestions- wouldn’t have been possible without your help to get here.
Dragon Ben- the site
I am not sure what happened but for some reason I thought I had posted this already! Anywho, here is the site, splashpage and all- please go through with your fresh eyes and catch any typos or errors that you spot!
Mushon, I haven’t added the site map, privacy etc - do I need to as these are mainly text pages and hardly related to the site.
Dragon Ben’s- kicking in revisions
I thought I might as well get it over with when the feedbacks are fresh in my head. I have incorporated all the comments and made changes that I thought were valid for the pages I created for Friday past. Thank you Renda and everyone- every comment is valuable and goes to prove that many eyes are always better than one!
Anyhow, here is the return of the pages with the valuable inputs which hopefully got translated well-
The pages (clean version):
The pages with the grid:
Dragon Ben- still kicking…
Thank you everyone for your polite comments. I did some tweaks to the earlier pages as well apart from the new 3 pages from the site- 2 or 3 more and my site is done! The class timings were all 4 pm (even though I had uploaded the new file) because wordpress wouldn’t allow me to upload the correct file till I named it differently from the previous file even if I deleted the earlier file from the server!) and it left it up to me to figure that out! The colors are still strong because those are from the logo which is from the Korean flag and I think they correspond well to martial arts as well- think belts, think taekwondo. I have tried to line up everything to the grid and be more legible but my eyes are tired so if you can spot the mistakes, you don’t have to be polite about it. There are many more minute changes but I am sure you guys are smart enough to figure them out. For all problems and mistakes, please be ruthless.
The site in 5 pages (actually 10):
Information Architecture- Dragon Ben’s Tae Kwon Do
Here’s my Information Architecture for the website that I will be creating for Dragon Ben’s TaeKwonDo Gym. The last page has a site map to just lay out the structure of the website in one page. I did not get into too many details but hopefully this should work.
Whats in my hood
So I was scouting around and thought of a flower shop, a liquor shop, a garage, a printing shop and a tailor shop amongst others. I live in a Jewish residential area way down in Brooklyn called Boro Park and all the businesses are mostly owned by Jewish folks though I stumbled on this one place, which I thought would be interesting to make a website for. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Dragon Ben’s Tae-Kwon-Do, a martial arts gym- which shall be the object of my attention for this project.
Where?
Right opposite the subway- two and half blocks away from my place. Neighborhood is primarily Jewish though there are significant numbers of Hispanics and South Asians as well.
Who?
Master Benjamin Ha - the owner and trainer of the place, has won many medals displayed proudly in the one room space and so have his students in recent competitions. He has a myspace page so I think a website is the next logical step for him. He already has a logo and as you would expect from the name, it has a dragon in it!
What?
Training given in Tae Kwon Do to people of all ages and sexes. From third graders to office goers to housewives, anyone can join.
Why?
Its fun to kick ass!
