Evaluation

To create my website I have used both a specialist software and a free online software. I used Dreamweaver the specialist software to create an online photo gallery and a Wix a free online software to create a clothes website. Wix is a website building platform online. I feel that Wix is a really good website when it comes to creating a website because it offers alot such as layouts/templates, links to social media, sub menus, fonts and more.  It allows you to see a preview of the website before you post it online and more. A disadvantage to the site is that its slow, it has a image limit to the size of the image you put in, your not allowed to stretch your image and more.  Dreamweaver is a a proprietary web development application. Dreamweaver offers a lot as well. One disadvantage with dreamweaver is that its complicated to understand where everything is, to use you must understand a bit about it, you can't place your images anywhere and more.

The issues I faced whilst I was trying to create my website was things like the website program not loading, not be able to make website look how I wanted I to, my photo gallery not showing up on the browser and more.

I found it kind of easy to find primary resources because I feel that by having a big family I could just ask them any time I wanted and what I wanted them to wear. All I did was I asked them to stand on a plain wall and pose while I took the image. One thing I did find hard though was taking photos of my little sister because she wouldnt stop moving around. Another thing I did was I created diffrent T-shirts by finding a T-shirt outline, slogans and an image to go with it then I placed it all togther.  Another thing I found challenging was when it came to using Dreamweaver to create my  photo gallery I found it hard to deal with file sizes & image sizes.

I did use a bit of coding when I was making my photo gallery on Dreamweaver all I did  was I copied the same code 2 times. I could understand a bit of it like when I wrote inside the div tag I could kind of understand it.

Overall I did produce interactive web pages which weren't that creative but where really functional.

If I was to do this again I would have my time better planned out. Also I would have prepared the stuff for my website before making it such as the images, the designs and more therefor I wouldn't have to keeping or deleting pages because I have nothing that can go there. Another thing that I would have done is more research, more experimenting  with dreamweaver, being more orgainsed and more.

Another thing I found hard about this project was following some of the tutorials because I would usually miss apart by acdient which would mean I would have to start again and more.

If I had more time I would revisit this because although it was difcult using Dreamweaver I think it was really intersting to see how websites designers work. Also I think that it could really benfit people like me knowing how to make a website incase I want to get my work out there. Yes I would like to revisit web-design next year.
