Using Dreamweaver html and php, I coded a simple form and then a confirmation page where users enter their information and get a confirmation page of the information entered perviously. I also used one line of javascript in the phone number box. I worked with positioning commands and cell padding in order to complete this project. I also used 3 different Universal Principles of Design: 

The first UPD principle I used was “modular”. This principle of design applies to my confirmation page because of the table I created to make 3 separate sections. This is a form of functional clustering by dividing a whole thing into a smaller thing. This helps manage the complexity of something by creating smaller, self-contained systems.

The second UPD principle I used was “factor of safety”. I used this principle when creating the confirmation page and my conditionals. I added conditionals for the credit card function to write an error message when the text box is not filled in or the credit card numbers do not match. This gives a safety factor to the user because it tells them to go back and do the form again. This gives them a chance to fix what they did wrong so that they can get the correct outcome they desire.

The final UPD principle used in this assignment was “interference effects”. When creating my confirmation page, i used this principle to ensure that I did not have interference effects. When writing my conditionals, I created a class called “wrong” that would display the error codes in a red box. People associate the color red with wrong, so creating this error code style in any other color would be an interference effect as the information would not get passed to the user as effectively.
