Quarter 1 Project

Project Statement

I made my website using Wix.  It was a website I have not used before and I wanted to try it out.  Personally I am not the greatest when it comes to creating your own website so in the beginning it was hard.  After some exploring of weebly got the hang of things.  Something I hoped to learn was how to actually make a website presentable for people viewing it.  

To complete this project, I first made an outline of what I want my website to look like.  Then I picked out the website I wanted to use.  Completing this website was a bit hard for me.  Trying to find the right layout and put all my information was difficult.  I could not really tell how the website worked.  After trying a few times I finally got it.  

A failure I encountered was my whole website got deleted.  I think I forgot to save it one time and when I logged in it wasn’t there.  This gave me a chance to make my website better because the layout I had before was a bit confusing.  In that sense it was also a success.  

Something I learned and got out of this project is how to make websites.  I learned how to organize them and make them appealing to look at.  I learned to taking your time with this is a good idea to make sure it turns out well.  

Something I learned about myself is that I enjoy making websites once I get the hang of it.  I like personalizing it and making it your own.  Something I would do differently if I had to do it again would be not using a blog layout the first time.  It is too hard to work with.  You can’t switch pages on that one and it was confusing.  A tip for people doing this project is take your time and don’t use a blog layout unless you're making a blog.  

I am not sure if this project has inspired me to do anything next.  But doing this project has given me ideas for what to do if I want to put something out there, I will just make a website!  All the pictures in my website are mine so I don’t need to do proper citation.  I feel the medium dictated my project.  I used Wix to make my website.  I feel like I just went along with what Wix had to offer and made it my own.  Overall I am happy with how my project turned out.
