NOTESToday we will be using WIX.com to create a website for a fictitious company that you will come up with. Wix is a website builder that provides you predesigned templates with the ability to edit, change and ad content to make it uniquely yours. Today we will review the Wix editing tools and begin to design our fist page. This first page will take some time to build as you will be expected to make edits to the layout so that is is completely different than the original template you start with.
Important things to look at Layout: Layout is basically how everything on the site is positioned. Where are your images and text boxes. How you use the space in which you are designing. Be sure not to make your website so busy that it is hard to focus on any one area. When you walk into a Hotel room you like to feel like everything is organized and the design of the room as to where the furniture is and decorations allow you to feel comfortable. Colors: Use of color is encouraged but can be overdone at times.Choose a color pallette that matches the feel or vibe that you want people to get in connection to your product. Think about colors you use when matching your clothes to your shoes. Not everything has to match but good use of color allows people to feel a certain way and can help browsers navigate your website. Fonts: As with color, Fonts give off a look and a voice to your website. Fonts decorate your words. Your website is unable to speak out loud so if you want to be loud use a FONT that looks like you are being loud. Say it using fonts. Images: Your images should be relevant to your business. Use background images to lay a foundation for the style of the page. You can ad images as you see fit but moderation is key. Images should cause browsers to navigate the page and want to stay on your website. |
