Webmasters: Site of the Month: Titanic Domain
I would like to congratulate Marc from Titanic Domain, who is the proud recipient of an award plaque distinguishing his site as B2T's Site of the Month for September 2001. His site has been wonderfully re-designed over the past few months, with great content and graphics! Here is what Marc had to say:
Jen: What made you become interested in Titanic?
Marc: I have always been interested in architecture, particularly ships, and as you know, Titanic was one of the most beautiful ships ever. When I was browsing through a book fair in second grade, I saw a book on the Titanic and was drawn to it. The cover advertised something about "The Biggest and Best Ship of All!" I bought it, and read it before I got home. From that point on, I was enthralled in the ship's story and the people on her. In 1997 when the movie came out I became absolutely obsessed, I hung pictures of both the movie and the real ship all over my desk at school, on my locker and even my book bag. That leads up to today, where I am a virtual Titanic.
Jen: How long has your site been in existence?
Marc: The actual site has been in existence since 1998 when my friend and I got really into web design. For a long time, it was a nothing site with no content and about three pictures. It wasn't until this summer that I started updating again and adding graphics and a new layout. Most of the content has been added since then.
Jen: In your opinion, what is the best feature on your site?
Marc: Well, I like everything, but if I had to say... I would choose the graphics. On any site, I think any graphics are key. Anyone can have content about the movie, cast and the real ship, but the graphics are like the webmaster's (or webmistress's) signature or stamp on the site.
Jen: What advice would you like to give to other webmasters out there?
Marc: First of all, don't be afraid to ask. There are TONS of people out there who started out knowing nothing about web design, so they know how you feel if you can't get something right or don't know about something. Most will be happy to help out. Second, there are countless books and websites out there specifically to help you. Look around and be inquisitive. Lastly, be confident and feel proud of what you have done.
