Client Experience

The experience of working with ADS has been very rewarding, all the feedbacks made to my work was well received and corrected to achieve finish the project as directed by the company.

Some communication problems were solved by email although others were by phone. It was a little bit complicated not working in the same place with them.
Most of the time when we work as designers, our style and knoledge need to be balance with the client expectations, in order to create good achieves.

I really liked to work in this proyect and have the experience with a real design company, was not easy but I enjoyed the web development job.

Is a structure of a web site that is already created. Those web sites usually follow a standard structure, for e.g. a header, a navigation bar and a footer.

2. What are the advantages of using templates?
If I'm using many pages in my web site and I need a small change, I would need to go to each of those pages and chage manually. But using a template I only need to change it in a template and all the pages get updated automatically.

Length Units (em)

A length value is formed by an optional + or -, followed by a number, followed by a two-letter abbreviation that indicates the unit. There are no spaces in a length value; e.g., 1.3 em is not a valid length value, but 1.3em is valid. A length of 0 does not require the two-letter unit identifier.

The following relative units are available:

em (ems, the height of the element's font)
ex (x-height, the height of the letter "x")
px (pixels, relative to the canvas resolution)

The 'em' unit is equal to the computed value of the 'font-size' property of the element on which it is used. The exception is when 'em' occurs in the value of the 'font-size' property itself, in which case it refers to the font size of the parent element. It may be used for vertical or horizontal measurement.

e.g
h1 { line-height: 1.2em }
means that the line height of "h1" elements will be 20% greater than the font size of the "h1" elements. On the other hand:
h1 { font-size: 1.2em }
means that the font-size of "h1" elements will be 20% greater than the font size inherited by "h1" elements.
