Website: About this Site

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.
