 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Tourism in Iceland **


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">MY IDEA FOR FINAL **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I think in my final I will create website wich will include information about importance in Iceland(places,acoommodation,culture..)


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Website Plan **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">For this website I will include. Places to visit, stay, eat, shoppings, activities,how to get here and more.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">I want to do a website on tourism in Iceland. Mainly because i wanted to help to increase the tourism in Iceland, some places in Iceland have not get enough visitors and some places are new so I try to include those. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Firstly I went on the internet to see what makes a good website, I found few website but most of them had nearly the same things on it so this is what I found <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is most about your taste but it should have those. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">You need to make sure that the website will fit with all of those and will be eye-catching. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">[]
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Purpose- the aim of the website.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Design-highlight the important areas, not to colorful.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Content-
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Navigation- Links & menu’s

Where I found out what to put on the website. Basically I usesd my friend knowledge and my dad´s. Specially my brother he is a really good website maker. i asked them questions about what they want to know when they are going to travel. they said the climate, food, clothes, camping, transport. and more also I used tourism websites to see what they have put on the website.


 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">What software did I use? **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">I used microsoft publisher to make my website on, wich was quit easy bt hard too. **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The software is made mostly to make poster, newspaper articles, letters, brochures and more. But if you go to the search button and search ‚‘‘Websites‘‘ it will come up a template for that. Too see your website you go and click on ‚‘‘website preview‘‘. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;">My plan **

**<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Evaluate **


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Investigation **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think I should get 2 for it because I didn’t discuss enough about each thing in it and I didn’t do so much about it. **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Improvements **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">adding more detail and discuss things and explain more things in it. **


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Design **

<span style="color: #7030a0; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 1.5; text-align: center;">Design specifications

 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I’m not sure what I will get for the design, I didn’t compare them and I didn’t have many designs just 1 so I think I will get around 1 in that one. **


 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">i didn't follow the designs because I first did thast and it didn't look nice so I made it look better so it was change a whole bunch. **


 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Improvements **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What I could do to improve that I could make more designs and compare and talk about them. **


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Create **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think I should get 4 or 5 for the creation because I worked really well on that part and used all my words that I can imagine to try to describe each links and tried to keep the colors right. But there are some things in the website which is not as good as I wanted it to be. **
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I used Microsoft publisher to make the website which is good but I could use Microsoft expression web 4 to make the website on two, but I didn’t know how to use it so I just kept with making it on Microsoft publisher. **


 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">i wasn't able to put my final creation on the wiki because it was to big, so i took screenshot's of it. **

** Short evaluation on the whole work ** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think that I did best on the creation stage is the best one. Because I used most of all the time doing that. My investigation, designs are not good. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I made a plan book just for me in Icelandic to remind me about doing those things, put on wiki. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Improvements <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use some plan to do my investigation and designs. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Be more organized
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am glad with my website, I didn't think my website will look like this, because this is good. **
