Today’s featured website:

Pixlr.com review
- Just take a look at our digital “art gallery” and be proud!
- Don’t forget to add any image you made that you’re particularly proud of to your online portfolio on our class website.
- Cropping/resizing (make sure to constrain proportions) and changing the canvas size (options for adding to top/bottom height and left/right width).
- Please take this quick Pixlr.com survey
School website re-design
- The school website is being re-design to be more visual and mobile-friendly (responsive)
- We want to go from here to here
- This is what we have so far
- To do:
- Look at the current site. What do you think is most important (for parents/students/staff)? What do you think should be highlighted? What do you think should be easier to find?
- Go to http://coment.me/. Add this link: http://demo.themegrill.com/spacious/. Leave comments on what content from the current school site you think should go in each spot on this template- include thoughts on text and pictures.
- Optional- sign up for FluidUI.com (free account). Choose desktop/website application under “designing for.” Create a mock-up of the home page for the school site but make sure to use the existing template as a guide.
