In retrospect, developing this web site was a good experience. In many ways, working together with my other team members is the only reason why the site is up. Sure, we had several disagreements about what should be incorporated into the site, but we also respected each other's view and then compromised. Also, I had to sacrifice many hours of my time in order to work on this site (usually 4-5 hours a day).

I worked as the site's Webmaster, mainly because of my years of experience with HTML. I was responsible for coding our web site, which in reality was not even a job. I used Macromedia Dreamweaver to port the page layout from Fireworks. I also used the simple Notepad to edit the pages and to add Java Scripts. There were several occasions when there were errors in the site and correcting them required a lot of trial and error.

I'm also a writer on the site. I wrote various articles for the Innovations section of the site. In addition I wrote heading sentences for the site and the entire Site Info section.

I came up with those catchy names for the site too (Innovations, Tech Talk, Insights, Tech Jargon, and Site Info). I'm not much of a graphics designer, but all of those images that you see such as the 2 High-Tech logos, buttons, and bottom navigation- I created them.

Another role I took on was content manager. This position required me to manage the site's content and to port over our documents form MS Word to HTML; this job goes with being a Webmaster.

A major disappointment is that the team never had the chance to include the many features on the site that we had discussed in the beginning of the project. It's kind of ironic that this site focuses around time, when in reality time was our enemy. If the team had more time and fewer delays this site would have reached its full potential, which was outlined in the beginning.

With the completion of the site at hand, I am currently generating more ideas to be used for the next 2 High-Tech. I choose to continue this project mainly because of my deep interest in technology itself.
