Creating a Webpage

Well…….that took forever! And I’m not even done yet!

I started doing the module on creating a web page last week and I’m still going and going. I didn’t realize it at first (because I went through all of the story boarding before creating it) but web pages are like a ton of little black holes. They can just keep going and going and going. Then you think you’re finished and tada – you need a link to another page.  Ack.

Not to say that it wasn’t an interesting experience, but as a new user (even on a fairly intuitive site like www.wix.com) there were so many great options that it took what felt like an exhausting amount of time to even get the page remotely how I wanted it. And like I said, I’m STILL not done! (not sure I ever will be).

What I really liked at ‘Wix’ was how easy it was to use the different features (despite how many there were). It didn’t take long to acclimatize to the system and when I got stuck, there were video tutorials conveniently placed (often as part of the tool itself, which I loved) and fairly straightforward.

At the same time, the site still doesn’t quite have the feel that I wanted. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the designer eye, or maybe it’s because the sites don’t really lend themselves as well to learning experiences as they do personal or commercial pages but I supposed I’ll have to keep working on it. But for now, I’m going to have to let it go because another unit is starting already. Where does the time go?
