The document discusses Annabelle Cullinane choosing the website builder Wix to create a fitness website. She chose Wix because of its ease of use and variety of templates. She reviewed 20 Wix templates and narrowed it down to 5 that fit her needs, such as space for logo, tabs, readable font, and multiple image spaces. Template 2 stood out for its newsletter-like layout, eye-catching colors, and convenient tab placement. Annabelle plans to organize fitness information under tabs and add photos to engage clients on the new website.
2. I have decided to use www.wix.com to create my
website for my fitness website
I chose wix because people in my group and I have
previously used this website, and enjoyed using their
facilities, and thought it was very easy to create for
beginner, such as myself.
I also liked the idea of wix being so versatile, and
having so many choices of website builders that I
could use, with many different patterns and styles to
choose from
When building your website, it is also easy to
personalize most things about the layout of your pages
and make it more personal to suit your style and what
you were creating your website for – to suit your own
purposes.
7. From these choices, I had to narrow down which ones
best fit my website for the benefit of my clients. What I
was looking for was:
Space for logo on the front screen.
Tabs across the side/across the top or bottom of the
page.
Font easy to see and read for the benefit of my clients.
More than one image space on the front page.
Whole page not consisting of one massive image.
8. Narrowing down my choices:
From making a restricting list of what I was looking for,
this was easier for me to choose from the ones available. I
then created screen shots of the ones which best suited
me:
13. Summary of All Templates:
I chose these 5 templates out of the 20-odd designs
that wix had because they all seemed to fit the criteria
that I was aiming for.
However, the problem with templates 2 and 5 is that
their images are either too big (filling up the whole
home page) or that there are not enough image spaces
(just one image on the side)
Personally, I prefer template 2
14. Why I chose Template 2:
I chose template 2 because of the colour choices that
they displayed. I thought that it really caught my eye
and was easy to see.
Template 2 also had quite a news letter type of set out.
I liked this because it makes it look like that it will be
updated regularly.
The tab bar on the top is very handy in that position as
you can see it as soon as you open the page.
The small individual places of images and other news
events seems easy to read and not have to scroll down
as much. This would be handy skim read.
15. Getting Started:
After I have finished collating all of the information of
each of the sports that I have selected to talk about, I
will post them on the website under specific
headings/tabs so that it will be more efficient and easy
for my clients to read.
I can then take photos/get photos from the internet
and post them onto the website to make it look more
visually exiting.
