Creating my second ancillary product- newspaper website

My second ancillary is going to be a website. I will create the homepage and this will be linked on to the 'News' page. I decided to do a website to advertise/inform/promote my newspaper because according to the research that I have conducted; my target audience prefer a website rather than a radio ad because they find this 'less appealing' and they don't always listen to the radio.  In the process of doing the pages, I used the combination of two programs which are Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I used Photoshop because this allows me to move things easier, it offers a lot of things such as font styles for instance and Adobe Dreamweaver is the program that allowed me to create a website page.  After doing the texts and pictures on photoshop, I had to 'slice' each of the boxes (pictures, ad) on its own as this will make it easier for me to import the page on Dreamweaver. I then adjusted little things on Dreamweaver such as changed the normal texts to HTML texts.

This is how my homepage looked like before. The boxes that I have done are guidelines as to where I'm going to be placing the pictures and articles. I am working on Dreamweaver as you can see from the print screen, there are different options at the bottom of the page such as create text and which font size and style to use. 

This is my final homepage for my website. As you  can see I added a HTML texts rather than having a normal text from photoshop because HTML texts are especially use for websites, so that it is clear and enables readers to do things such as copy an article by highlighting it. In contrast, you wouldn't be able to do this with a normal text imported from photoshop. I also added pictures that are related to the articles. I made sure that my headline is written in standard big, bold font which will hopefully attract the readers attention. I managed to create the page without it looking over crowded yet not too empty. 

This is the 'News page' that is going to be linked with the homepage. I took the chance to be as informative as I could with this page, reason why I decided to add a few articles. I added pictures on the page to make it look interesting and not full of texts.  I made a line after each article to inform the readers where the article ends.  I kept my color scheme of white and blue as much as possible. This is the reason why I decided to make the background for the sidebar color blue; this also goes well with the banner and the link pages . I used plain black text over the blue background because I found out that all newspaper website has this standard black color for the body of the article. 

The previous picture (above) has a big gap on the sides. I decided to put in some of the advert that I originally created on this page.  I am happy on how the second (hyperlinked) page came out, I managed to make it look neat and professional yet not too crowded with texts. In addition I also have an advert and a side bar to make it easier for readers to see the overview of the news on that day/week.
