This page will describe the proposal for the website I will create. The site will be foundational for my own writings
(which should honestly probably be a podcast) which deals with traveling historic and modern
trade routes and entering zones where cultures meet and how their interactions influence the stories
each group tells about themselves and where they come from. It will utilize CSS to create textboxes
asides and directories to contain, simplify, clarify and make information clear, though provoking and
accessible. The overarching philosophy of the web development aspect of this project is
to avoid making the page look dense and overly academic. Informationally, the travel aspect
serves a similar purpose.
Overall Page Structure
The pages in the article will make heavy use of text boxes developed through CSS templates
to contain information accessibly, so it doesn't look like a dense page of words
and information is categorized to permit the use to contrast. I will also record the pages in
english and perhaps spanish to improve accessability. Photos will be a key component of the project
likely embedded into the href tags above but only along the sides and within columns as
using photos as a background makes the page more difficult to read. If I do use an additional
photo background it will within a title page with a very limited, bright large font, explanation
and directory. The explation will be within a text box sans background photo to improve legibility
The ground where the worlds
intersect

Sarajevo
With the exception of Jerusalem, no city better exemplifies the kaleidascopic nature of
contact than Sarajevo. The city is where catholic Europe (the Croats), orthodox Europe (the Serbs),
the Islamic world (Bosniaks) meet. The city is nestled in a valley surrounded by high, forested moutains.
