No access to Adobe Dreamweaver at home

Unfortunately, I did not have access to Adobe Dreamweaver at home and this created a whole different issue regarding the designing of my website. This meant that all of the design work for my website had to be completed at college during lesson time. When designing my website I realised that it took an awful long time to get everything looking how the client and the user wanted it. This could mean that it would take me a whole week to complete just one page on the website. This also meant that I had to complete all of the testing in the classroom because I needed Adobe Dreamweaver to detect what problems I had when designing the web pages. The testing took about two to three days. This meant that overall, the whole classroom time for the designing of the website took about three to four weeks, this was without planning, documenting, evaluating and researching the website. This meant that I had to prioritise the tasks that were in my gantt chart. I made sure that all of the design work for the website was completed in the class room because I knew that I would not get any other time to do it. This did cause a problem because it meant that the design schedule for the website way very tight at times and there was a lot of pressure to get all of the task completed.

To avoid this issue if I were to complete a similar task, I would make sure that I would have the software accessible at all different areas. This would be so I could complete the work at college and from home also. In return this would enable me to complete the work much faster and give myself more time to complete other tasks. Overall, I would be able to complete my work to a much better standard because I would have much more time and it would not be rushed.

How my contribution affected others

Unfortunately there was no contribution I could make here because you had to pay a large amount of money to download Adobe Dreamweaver. This was not suitable and I chose to not download it.

Was this a long or short term issue?

This was a long term issue because it meant that I had to use Adobe Dreamweaver at college and prioritise all of my website designing to doing it at college during class. This meant that it was rushed at times but it did all get completed.
