After making my first buttons for the home page, the payment page, the shipping page and the returns page, I started adding them to a basic background with my banner and logo on Adobe Muse.These where the first things I had ever made in Muse and at first it was confusing and I didn't know how to make the buttons link and change colour/ state when they are pasted over or pressed. However, I found that in the file tab under 'Place Photoshop Button' I was able to implement both of the button types to make the effects I wanted. As well as this, I was able to add the link between the pages by using the hyperlink drop down and pressing which page I wanted the specific button to lead to.

These are a few of the main pages that I will be using to link my buttons via hyperlink. At this stage, all of these pages where blank but had the colours that I would be using as the backgrounds. Every time I needed a new page I could just add one and link it to a master to set the colour for that specific page.

The way I can link a specific page to a master was by right clicking on the page and selecting the drop down titled 'masters' and selecting one of my preexisting ones. This creates an open link to the each page that is connected to that master - so, whenever you add something to that master page, all pages linked to that master will automatically have whatever you have added to it. One of the useful aspects of these masters is for making sure that your website always looks symmetrical across all of your pages, one of the biggest assets that should be symmetrical is the banner and the buttons - you can make these yourself or use the pre-made ones that are included in Muse.

Pre-made assets are found on the right hand side of the screen in the category 'Widgets Libreary'. There are some very useful ones such as the buttons that allow you to change the colour, size and text to whatever you want them to say or look like. As well as this, the widgets a have a pre-made banner for you to alter with multiple buttons that allow you to create a link to the home page and any other sub menu's.

This is a screen recording of my final product. It is not a completely finished website, however I pleased with the interactive elements of it. As well as this, I have done my best at providing a product for my target audience whilst complying with the my clients' wants.
