Team Collaboration

Our team worked together by always knowing what another person was doing at the time, and helping to improve each other’s work. Also, if one person was struggling to finish a part of the website, another person would step in and help get it done.

Team Diversity

We used our team diversity to get the best out of each others abilities in order to make the website as great as possible. An example of this is that Simon made the graphics because he is every artistic and Sam plus Ben did plenty of research due to their ability to not lose concentration and their willingness to write lots. Considering we all come from the same background we think we utilized our strengths and weaknesses well.
