Currently, I am excited with the progress of the project, considering the difficulties Pete provides with the project.  Difficulties provide a path for creative freedom with a project such as this, and while he is difficult, he also understands this and trusts me to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing website.

In contrast, I do feel apprehensive about his lack of communication and involvement.  With a large project such as this, periodic client reviews are important to the success of the project and to create a polished and professional final product.  I always like to produce a finished product and to do this I may have to travel to Bend more often to display the importance of this project.  He still needs to finish his reel, provide more content, edit the bio I created, and determine various site nuances.  Though he is difficult, I am confident that the site will be completed on time and in a professional, aesthetically pleasing fashion.

Pete has previously done a little groundwork for creating a website in the past.  He previously purchased a domain name, which provides a more clear path to completing the site without having to deal with too many financial difficulties.  Looking to the remainder of the quarter, I will adhere to a timeline to complete the project.  Furthermore, as much as I would enjoy to create an after effects introduction for the site, I do find it feasible with the remaining workload for the site and other classes.  I plan on having the logo completed in the next couple weeks and have the site content completely loaded.  This will provide three weeks to complete the layout and design of the site, troubleshoot issues, and complete backend procedures, such as online photo purchasing.  The remaining weeks provide little change to the previous schedule.  While this may vary in the weeks to come, I am confident in the current state of the site.
