My Website

For the past two weeks I have been creating a website for my work with Wix along with the rest of my Media class. We all chose a template to work from and I chose one that is already suited for a writer's curriculum vitae.

Above is the template I chose for my website. I drastically changed certain parts to fit my objective.

I deleted information regarding resumes, other personal experiences, and , regrettably, the contact form under the "Contact" page while leaving the home and "Contact" pages and replaced them with an empty "Gallery" page which I later renamed "Portfolio" after remembering I'm not doing any visual projects. I then changed parts of the design, such as changing the font to Courier New, the same font used on this blog to emulate the classic typewriter typeface, and adding black highlights to the headings to represent redaction in confidential files. I also changed the background from grid paper to lines to represent lined paper. I also went through the trouble to sample the colour of the Blogger logo to determine its colour code for a link button to this very blog under "Contact".

My class and I looked at several websites as examples for how to design one and write an "About" page. Many of them were simple in design, being black text over a white background, and the odd photo of the person in question. I added simple information about myself and my motivations to come to the U.K. and study in Media. I have recently learned how to add a gallery with pictures and/or PDFs, the latter being useful for my Major Project in script writing.

The images presented are for test purposes and most likely will not be in the final version. I then re-added a contact form as per my tutor's instructions. I also removed the empty social media buttons, leaving the Blogger icon.

I later experimented under the "Portfolio" by adding a Flip Book for documents. It was easy, but the only obstacles I found were a limited amount of booklets I can create and an ad at the end of the document.

I will continue development and update after (or during) next class, or when I have time between other homework.
