Webpage design

I found it quite difficult in the end to design a website.  Mainly the little things to make it look interesting and well navigated.  I still know more now than when I started.  In hindsight, I should have started to play with the webpage designer program earlier to benefit my final piece.  I’m still ok with what I managed to do.
