today i actually got to grips with HTML and CSS so here are some screen prints of my developments of my webpage. i focused on the header and the top section of the website for now, and i tried to stick to the themes and color schemes that i was looking at earlier. 

above is the basic HTML code, with the CSS not working because i hadn't linked them. 

here is how the website is meant to look when the CSS is linked properly

i eventually managed to link the CSS and HTML using dreamweaver. i then changed my header to a graphic that i made  in Photoshop. 

here is also changed the navigator bar slightly although i feel this needs more work as the color scheme doesn't quite match.
