HotelPro

Here is my final website for my e learning class.
I tried to work with a color scheme I have not used before. The website teaches 3 learning modules for hotel front desk agents. The modules are intro to hotel industry, check in and check out. Each learning module has a side navigation to let the user know which lesson they are on and gives the user the option to skip to different lessons. The top of each page lists which the user is on ex page 4 of 8. The user also has a next button at the bottom of each page.
The website also uses videos and voki's for learning.

Color Schemes

I have a tendency to use the same color scheme on all my websites. I am trying to explore other possible color schemes I can use. Several color schemes made from pictures.

I also have great info about color for the web on pinterest 

Colors For the Web

Blue Is Dominating The Web infographic

Select an average of 3 different colors and use them consistently throughout the web site.

Chromatic harmony is one of the most important criteria in order to create a pleasant experience for the visitors. It is strongly recommended that a moderate number of colors should be employed; four or five is ok; more than that not only will they create inconsistency, by they will also cause an eye sore for the visitor making him skip important parts of the site.

How many colors

A site that uses fewer colors is easier to remember than a site that uses many colors. However, this doesn’t mean that you should always limit yourself to one color. Sometimes it’s good to pair your brand color with another color to make your website look and feel more vibrant.

Where to apply colors

You may love your brand color, but that doesn’t mean you should apply it everywhere on your website. There are certain areas where your brand color works best. Interface controls such as navigations, menus, boxes, buttons, links and search fields are areas where you should apply your brand color. This highlights your interface controls, making them easy to see when users need to do a task.

The areas of your website where users read text should not only have high color contrast, but the colors you use should never compete with your brand color. Black and white are the best colors for this because together they make text easy to read and they’ll never compete with other colors. Black text on a white background is the standard convention for text on the web. It has never failed users before, and it won’t fail users now.
