AS Initials The introducation is about the webdesign course I started back last year. A real challenge as it looked complicated. Very exciting working with colours and designs but very tricky remembering to put in all the correct code like HTML,CSS,tags and much more but then to see finishing part come up online is just wonderful. I have told a little about my upbringing, what hobbies I have and interests.I took a printscreen of my design choosing the background colors and designing the cover.
