PathTrainInfo goes public!

PATHTRAININFO.COM

My new website has now reached it's beta phase! It is published and out for the world to see. It can be accessed at pathtraininfo.com. I have also touched up the website to make it look better and added some new things. For example, there is now an abandoned stations page that talks about stations that are no longer used in the PATH Train system. I also added some basic information on the front page in order to make it more professional. Besides that, some of the backgrounds have been changed to better reflect how each station looks in the background of text. As for what is next for the website, that would be setting up my presentation for it at the end of the year in addition to making some of the text more visible since it can be tricky to see what the text is saying due to the colors of the background pictures. I am very excited for the future of this website, and my future website endeavors!

Progress Report on PATH Website for January 2019:

My website is extremely close to being able to open for open beta. Almost all of the information necessary for the website to be up and running is present and accounted for. The only section I have left would be to finish up the "Abandoned Stations" section. For this section, the research took a little longer than expected due to having to do some field research (I had to go to the site of one of the stations due to so little information being on the internet). However, all of this research is now completed, and all that is left is to enter it. As for the other sections, like the general information section and station sections, they are all done. Every bit of information publicly available that I could find is here and accounted for. All of the station exits, which I had to collect information on myself due to there being no internet resource, is also here. I also have additional information and fun facts that are spread out around the website and placed where they need to be accordingly. I am almost exactly where I said I would be on my progress report, with my website about to go into beta. After this happens, I will work on porting it to mobile via an app and bringing the website to a full release.
