JQuery - Scroll to Top

I just did a JQuery tutorial that I thought was quite interesting. Using this JQuery code allows you to scroll to the top of the page without even scrolling at all. This could be a convenient use for the user, if he/she wants to start from the top again.

Here is the link to my example:

Team Alpha Update: Progress

This week as an individual, I worked on getting our design document ready. I'm trying to make it as clean, professional, and pretty as possible. I think this adds to the overall success of the project because it gives the client a clear-cut explanation of what's going to be on the site, how the site is going to work, and how it's going to effect the users. It also makes the client more comfortable with the team and the overall website itself.

I think we have a straight forward objective, and how we are going to achieve that goal. Although I think we are handling usability well, I think we need an extra "edge" that will make our website really stand-out from our competitors.

Team Alpha Update: Layout

I think our layout and idea are coming into place. It's already been halfway through this process, and I'm getting really confident with myself and my team overall. I love how we are putting the pieces together. I remember weeks one and two when this project was a scrambled, unfinished puzzle.

I really think we are putting the pieces of this puzzle into place. Design speaking, our layout shows great hierarchy, and is definitely visually pleasing. Trying to think like I'm a user visiting this site, I think the user would be happy that the articles are placed on the left side, making it visually comfortable for them.

I think the overall goal is to make the site convenient as possible for the user. I think being the content editor in my group, I think this is a very important piece to solve.
