This is a website that I designed to promote a holiday villa in La Manga, Spain:The
Tayside PMR-GCA website was a medical charity site, which published information
about Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis. It was great fun building
this website, since the communal webmasters were a gang of web-daft 60+somethings!
This website has recently been incorporated into the website belonging to
PMR-GCA Scotland.
Back in 2003, I did some experimenting for building a Chinese language website.
The website project brief was for a language translation service company,
based in Newburgh (Fife) in Scotland.
After quickly carrying out some research and doing some playing around with
the character encoding, I managed to successfully build Chinese language pages.
Sadly, this project did not go live, as the business owner decided not to
go ahead with the venture.
To insert double-byte Chinese text symbols into a web page template, I changed
the character encoding from Western European (ISO) to Unicode (UTF-8). To
view the very first test page for this project, click
here. In addition to presenting Chinese text using HTML, I also had to
work out how to make Chinese graphics using Photoshop - so some prototype
Chinese text graphics are also included on this test
page.
To see an example of a ‘live’ Chinese language website that I planned, designed,
co-built, wrote and gathered content for, visit this archive.org snapshot of the NanoChina
website.
