Activity 15b







Melissa Soto




My names Melissa Soto I'm 16 years old and I'm a junior at Brooklyn Studio high school. I decided to make my website about Costa Rica Which is where all my family is from. I wanted to do this to show people how nice and amazing this experience of being there can be. Whether it's with family or just friends. I love it when I go which is why I want to try and persuade people to go take a nice vacation where they can relax and see and do many different things. It will be an experience everyone will love and will never forget. My goal is to have people visit my website and after reading everything and seeing how wonderful it can be that they get the urge of wanting to go.

Activity 13

1. What is navigation?
- A navigation page is a type of page that can be added to other pages to provide a consistent set of navigational elements. A typical navigation page might contain a logo, the page title, a login link, and a link to the home page.


2. How are you going to design the navigation for your site i.e., buttons, frames, hyperlinks or nav bar?
for my website the way I want to design my navigation is maybe by having a page that stays Costa Rica and with four pictures of the different volcanoes of costa rica when people go and click one of the pictures different information or galleries will come up for people to continue looking and reading my page there will be a home page that brings you back to the beginning or maybe a way for people to ask questions about Costa Rica
