FOX FACTS
Fox Facts is intended to be a small and compact reasource for some basic trivia about different fox species. The site is targeted towards people who are either animal enthusiasts or people who like to collect pieces of trivia.
Features
Navigation Bar
- Present at the top of every page. The navigation bar is fully responsive, large font and clear to allow for easy navigation around the site.
Colors
Colors used for this project;
- #ff8b3d: used as the dominant site colour for the navbar, heading text and list markers.
- #e7e7e7: used for the logo and for text
- #1b1313: used for the pages to break up text
The colours used for this project were chosen for two reasons. The first is that these colours strongly contrast with each other that contributes to the accessability and readability of the site, and the second reason is that these colours are strongly associated with foxes and helps tie the site's content together to it's theme.
The
Species-specific pages
There is 3 species-specific pages for each of the three featured species: arctic foxes, red foxes and fennec foxes. Each page has a large central image of a member of the fox species as well as 3 quick facts and a brief explanation of where they can be found.
A link can be found at the bottom of each page to the Wikipedia article of each species for further information.
Possible future features
In the future, it might be possible to add information for all 12 of the true fox species. More information could be provided, as well as technologies such as javascript implemented for a more interactive experience.
