Switzerland

http://www.johnharrisdesign.com//switzerland/

The Switzerland website was a project I completed in high school. I worked with an exchange student, Cyrill Schoenenberger, from Switzerland to make this website. We worked for about 2 weeks to re-design a website he had built earlier in the year. We kept his overall layout, but I re-designed all the graphics and code. The site showcases the country’s history, geography, culutre, government, leisure activities, and food. Cyrill designed the flash photo gallery.

We wanted to make the site accessible to both English speaking students, as well as German speaking students. I helped him translate the site from German to English. Luckily, I have taken about 4 years of German, so I was able to understand much of what he wrote.

The purpose of this website was to create an educational website about Switzerland that Cyrill and I could enter into the Pennsylvania High School Computer Fair. We ended up winning second place.

It was a great experience to work with someone with a different cultural background and to learn about his country. I enjoyed teaching Cyrill how to design websites, and it was awesome to see someone as excited about a website project as I was.
