The aim of my website was to create a space where young people (about 18-25) who are going on or have been on their first overseas experience can share their experiences or stories, or look at, like and comment on other peoples experiences they have posted. you are also able to ask and answer questions on the Q+A page, and add activities, countries, hotels, etc., to their wish list so they can go back and look at them later, or look further into them. I think my website allows for people to be able to do this, if I had more time I would have tried to make it so you could actually like and comment on posts to get a better feel of the website.

Information
I got most of my information from this website: http://www.lonelyplanet.com
and this book:
Scroll Box
On all of my website html pages, i have put the information into a scroll box. It was easy to style the first page i did inside the scroll box, but after that I wasnt able to style anything inside it, which is why i was not able to create a proper sign in page where you can type into the box. I was able to do this for my login page but i could not style it so the input boxes and font do not go with the rest of my website. But at least you can type into them!
Final Website
This is the page you see when you click 'explore' on the map or places in the navigation list.
This is the page you see when you click on Europe on the 'Places' page. the information on this page is popular information on Europe. You are able to click on 'Need To Know', "Activities' and 'Accomodation', which take you to peoples posts about those subjects.
The first page is what you see when you click on activities on the europe popular page and then you can click on one of the activities posted by a user to look more into it. You are also able to like and comment on the post.
This is what you are able to do with most of the pages on my website.
Site map
This is my finalized site. I want to make as many features work as I can so that you can get a good feel of what I want my website to achieve
Finalized Layout
This is my finalized layout i drew up in a wireframe to make it clearer to understand.
I want each page to have a big scroll box inside it and inside the scroll box is where i want all of the information to go. I want this information to be set out how pinterest is set out
Inspiration and Ides
I have been researching some travel websites to get an idea of what they have on them and how they are set out, etc.
http://www.tripadvisor.com
This is Trip Advisor's home page. I like the big image - it is kind of like my home page where i will have the big image of a world map.
http://www.lonelyplanet.com
This is Lonely Planets homepage which also has the same idea. Although this is a lot ore simple than the trip advisor one which i like.
http://www.travellerspoint.com
This website has a bit where people can share their stories, which is one of the features of my website to help make it a community based website. I think this home page is too busy.
http://travellr.com
This is website is based more on people being able to ask questions and answer them. This idea is also a feature in my website to help make it a community based website.
All of these websites have ideas and features i would like to have on my website, mine is just going to be more of a general website rather that focused on one main thing like the Travellr website.
