Today something went wrong with Padlet, which lead to it losing my mood board I had spent a long time researching and creating. So I had to re-do the mood board which included a lot more research to try and refresh my memory of the original idea I had at the start. However, this had a positive side to it as I changed my background image for my website which suited my personality more.

Today I had planned on using Wix to play around with the templates, trying to get comfortable with using it before I properly started creating my website. Nevertheless, the software was not working and wouldn't allow me to use the edit part of Wix, which was useless. I had to report this to IT, though it wasn't fixed that day, so I was left to just thinking of more ideas.

Today I put together and update my production schedule to make sure I kept on track and was organised with everything. This just meant that I knew what piece of work I had to complete on what day, to make sure I didn't miss any deadlines. Such as on Monday, I knew I had to add images to my "About Me" page, which made me organised as I found the images a few days before I had to put them up.

Today I took advice and feedback from the focus group I did and applied that to my website. For example, they thought the rotation blocks moved too slowly to engage the viewer. Therefore, I found a way to increase the speed of the rotation so it didn't move too fast that the viewer couldn't read it, though fast enough that it caught the viewer's attention.

Today I've identified problems with different websites; leading to me to the conclusion that using Wix is the best choice. Nevertheless, there were technical problems today so I was unable to start creating the website. I made sure my file for unit 7 was organised and uploaded the rest of my work on Padlet to make sure I was all up to date.

Final logo for website

Today I created a rough draft of what the layout of my website; using different images and fonts to capture the audience's attention. After I had to pitch my idea, realising I had created it wrong, so I need to change it. I then wrote a little About Me page for the website.

# data[].attributes.body
Write a short proposal to explain the type of website you would like to create and the research and experimentation that has been and must be conducted in order to overcome any problems.

The type of website I would like to create would be a professional one that had a sophisticated finish. This way it would be organised when people want to store their work on the internet and would be easy to use. The inspiration I got for my website was from Wix; because I found it was creative, yet simple to use. Due to having the sections at the top, you immediately knew where to go for specific things. This would make the audience want to use this website because they don't need to learn how to use it, straight away they can make a start. I want my website to captivate the audience's attention with it's creativity use of colours, pictures and fonts.  I don't want to make my website like Simpl, because I found it boring; only had two colours and no pictures with lots of writing. I think a website like this will only appeal to a small specific audience, whereas I want my website to attract a contrasting large audience. I found Simpl more or less attracts women, rather than men, through the use of their fancy fonts in light purple and pictures of cupcakes and little houses. It also makes it seem childish and adolescent. Evidently, no man would go onto this website, because even though it's for making websites, they may assume its attraction is for girls, so they won't use it. I don't want my website to be like that. I want my website to attract both genders so I get a wide audience and not restrict myself with only specific types of people. Similarily to Wix, I would have numerous of pictures on the front page of the website, that contains me being creative such as writing, drawing and a being on the computer. This way, the audience would identify that the website is for everyone.

Before creating my idea for my website, I compared two websites; Wix and Simpl to get an idea of how some websites are like that are already out there. I found Wix to be sophisticated and easy to use due to having all the sections at the top, so the audience would know how to use the website straight away. Whereas even though Simpl had similar sections, when you clicked on them it didn't give you what the title said, so you had to try and find it on your own which is confusing. I would want my website to have a sophisticated finish as it would be more appealing for people and be easy to use. The logging in is better presented on Wix, than it is on Simpl, because on Wix you are brought to numerous of different templates to use as a platform. Whereas, on Simpl, you are just brought  to a plain white screen with the title in the middle. You have to click in various places before you can even begin to look at what you wanted. Clearly, this would take a lot of time which could again, annoy people. Also, there's around six pictures just scattered on the page at one point, though they have pink tones going through them, which again suggests it's more for girls and women rather than boys and men. Evidently, I would want my website to be as clear as possible; so after someone has logged in, I would bring them straight to the first section where they can proceed straight away. Just like both of them have websites and apps, I would want my website to be able to be an app also, because it makes it more accessible to be able to use it on their phones and iPads as well as computers, which would also give my website a larger audience.

The colours I would want to use would be black with purple and black with green; due to these colours attracting both genders. When writing, I need to make sure the font and the typeface can be read by a range of different people, so my audience is contrasted. It's probably best to have the writing in bold and nothing too fancy; I don't want my audience to struggle reading it when trying to create their websites. When creating my website, I would like to have a drop-down menu just like Wix has, that has a range of different languages. So if, for example, someone in Turkey wants to use this website, they can; they will just need to change the language. Again, by doing this my website would be able to go global and have different people from all around the world using it. With different people from around the world, I will need to make sure that my website is high in navigationally; so they are always able to access the website, regardless of where their location is. Like Wix has, I would want some short video snippets of people being creative; someone drawing, the camera could pan over some creative work and someone writing. An example of my work that I would show would be a video that I filmed for Unit 5. By doing this, I would captivate the audience and get their attention and make them feel inspired to use my website as it would seem interesting for them.

Comparison Of Simpl And Wix

# data[].attributes.body
Today I wrote more on my comparison of the websites Simpl and Wix. I discussed the use of colours, how you sign in (whether its via Facebook or if you have to create an account), the layout, what you see once you've logged on and which website is the best overall. I scattered images of the websites and showed different aspects of them, to get a clearer understanding of what I was writing. They are both different websites even though they do they same job. For example, Wix is a lot more sophisticated which would appeal to maybe older people, whereas Simpl is a lot more fun with use of different colours and interesting fonts, which attracts younger people. So really, it's just preference.

Today I did two mind maps about the brief we were given taking about audio, design, content, primary and secondary research in websites. I also wrote a comparison about the websites Simpl and Wix; talking about the difference in the layout and colours.
