Web Folio reflections detail the process of creating my Web folio.

Planning

I created a storyboard in the early stages of planning. The storyboard helped me place headers where I thought made the most logical sense and also helped me to decide on what kind of hyperlinks I wanted to include on each page.

Part of the planning process also included how I wanted visitors of my Web Folio to navigate my site. For example, including links to lead readers of my Web Folio to certain pages was crucial for me. After reading my home page, I want readers to visit my LinkedIn profile, which contains up-to-date information about my data science experiences, or my best work in the technical writing class.

Editing

I always find that editing work a day after I have written it, is much more effective than trying to write and edit all in one day. Editing took the longest amount of time. There were many components of the Web Folio that needed to be revised and edited to ensure no typos or grammar errors. Overall, I was able to catch some grammar errors, and sentence structure problems in my previous work by reading them many days after writing them.

Perfecting

Creating a Web Folio that is visually engaging is challenging. Too much text can make the Web Folio appear boring; however, finding appropriate images to accompany the text is difficult. For myself, my field is very technical, so most visuals I’ve created in my own work involve graphs to visualize data, or process flow diagrams that describe a workflow. I feel that both of these types of visuals do not suit the atmosphere of my Web Folio. In addition, most work that I have done in the workplace, I do not own the rights to, so incorporating examples of my work in the workplace is not possible.
