Slowly, very slowly

You never really understand how amazingly large an entire website is until you try and design it all. Once you have done all your beginning design work and have decided what you actually want to say, you would think it would be smooth sailing. WRONG. Writing a website is hard work. You are basically designing you site twice, once is photoshop, and once in html/css. The photoshop version is so you can see exactly what you are going to write into the code. This process took me several weeks. Next you have to basically translate that work from a nice visual image into a dynamic working website. That is where I am now. I have nice images, but no website...

Here are a two of my final photoshop creations.

This page is all about cyclocross. It I win in coding the main four photos will have a rollover effect that will allow the viewer to point at a picture and see it in full color and then move their mouse away and see the picture in the colorized version.

This page is comparing an average cyclist to a racer. I drew both illustrations in illustrator and then imported them with their text. The finished web version should look exactly like this with a working scroll option.
