In this section I will talk about how i got the site from paper to screen. I will talk about what i liked, I will talk about what I didn't and I will talk about things i changed just because they were complicated or restricted in HotGlue.

I took to the code at first and liked the outcome other than the limited fonts and missing images but i expected that with it being browser based and HotGlue's restrictions. I didn't keep this design as I found the read a bit tricky to read on the green, also when i wanted to add things i had to go into the code each time and that was taking a while and it was easier to just drop and drag.
I went back to doing it all manually in hotglue. The background I made in Gimp but i couldn't find a suitable font colour for it to go with but decided to keep the text and changed the background. Due to the change of background i wanted to change the logo. While changing the colour I decided I would change the font to something more friendly, however i have not yet changed that on the screen shot but it is visable on the branding page.
I went onto Adobe Kuler and looked at colours that will compliment the text and came up with this dark background. I like it like this as the text is readable and the blue and white stand out on the dark grey. This version has the new logo on it and is my final version.
