Spotlight: Web Page Mania!

CSSMania –  a website that showcases websites

“Only beautiful websites written in XHTML/HTML5/CSS (tableless)” are accepted at CSSMania

Web page designers find inspiration at CSSMania.  Their galleries of websites can be searched by hexidecimal color codes, by developer country, by portal, by media,  or by other website topics.

Maplewood Web Page students find inspiration at CSSMania Galleries by selecting a hexidecimal color then selecting a website that utilizes that color in its design.  Screenshots are uploaded to Google Sites and text describing the meaning of color completes the lesson’s activity

Color me, World!

• Purple (Royalty)
• Blue (Trust)
• Yellow (Happiness)
• Red (Love)
• Orange (Whimsy)
• Green (Security).

When designing a web site, color schemes elicit emotional responses from visitors while unifying site pages in an identifiable, cohesive manner.

Choice of web site color for a business, school, church, or organization can…increase sales…strengthen good will…establish brand recognition…promote events…gladden the heart…provide insight…sway opinion…even cross cultural boundaries.

Color conveys emotion, energy, peace, passion, hope.   Pictures say a thousand words.  Combine pictures with color and the visual impact strikes the soul!
