Denise Chang's Sample Work

Note: Some of these sites have been updated slightly in layout since the time that the screenshots have been taken. The screenshots have yet to be updated with new ones.

Valenth Den - http://valenth-den.byethost13.com/
Purpose: This website was initially built for previewing backgrounds against adoptables for a adoptables website called Valenth. It slowly started turning into a fansite which housed other projects regarding the adoptables site, such as a transcription of newsletter images that users of the adoptables site were complaining about being hard to read.

Otaku no Honden - http://otakunohonden.cjb.net/
Purpose: This website was designed for my personal use. It was meant to store all the stories I have written as well as other people's writings with their permission.

Description: This is the splash page for my personal website. It outlines what is found beyond this portal page.

Description: This is what they see when they first enter. There are links to the major areas of the website, as well as a few notes from me to the viewers.

Description: There is a drop down list that allows for viewers to see what else is available to be viewed.

Loki's Haven - http://lokishaven.cjb.net/
Purpose: This website was developed between two friends and me. We wanted a place to store jokes and a comic. Loki is the Norse deity and can be compared with a trickster from North American myths.

Description: This is the splash page which can lead the viewer to either the main site that contains mostly jokes, or they can go directly to the comic itself.

Description: This is the main page. It gives a little insight into who Loki is and how he relates to this website. It also allows for people to head over to the comic and see how the three of us are doing through the message box.

Tresses: The 6x2ML Archives - http://6x2ml.cjb.net/
Purpose: The idea of this website was to archive all the work done by various authors and artists from a mailing list dedicated to a specific pairing from a well known Japanese animated series. The colour scheme was collectively agreed upon by the mailing list, and all the work posted was with the authors and artists' consent.

Description: This is the splash page that details what is found within along with what the viewers can expect. There are warnings given so that the viewer is aware of what the website is about.

Description: This is the main page that the viewer would see when entering the website. It will inform the viewer what has been added recently as well as the links to the various sections of the site.
