 Self evaluation

Today I will be thinking about my website. I will follow and answer those questions:

Planning stage:

      1. What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style / name / template

My initial ideas about the style were to have professional style of the website, including professional and well created design. I considered about its consistency, typography and readability, colors, navigation, visual hierarchy and content. The name of my website should refer to my progression route which is English and Spanish language. Also, that template should consist of sections that I can present my work.

2. Do you have a tagline on your website?

Yes, I have a tagline underneath my name. This is “Powerful writing content that engages your audience”.

 Research:

     1. . Which designers / artists (relevant to your continuation route) websites did you look for inspiration?

I did research and look for websites such as:

EST Creative | Freelance Copywriter & Content Strategist (est-bostoncopywriter.com)

https://hennigweronikaanna.wixsite.com/weronika

but also

Alex Fisher Design  

Architectural Design and Engineering Firm | Foster + Partners (fosterandpartners.com)

 

 2.   How many pages did you want to make on your website and why?  Did that change as you progressed onto the research / designing stage?

I thought about home page and about me page, then during my research and

my module I added also contact page, and writing page.

Content:

●     What is the purpose of your website?

The purpose of my website is to present and give information about the my brand to the audience, that the audience can understand what kind of work I’m doing. Also my website is the main placement of my Major Project for the Term I. 

●     Who are your potential website users?

My potential users can be clients, also people who needs help with the content for example in Social media like Instagram.

●     Why do you think it is important to have a digital portfolio website?

It is because portfolio website allows me to be searchable and to achieve more clients.  

Also to make them familiar with my work.

 Design:

●     Which design elements / tools did you use? (e.g.: infographics, fixed header, static background image, navigation menu design, text boxes, image galleries, social media feed) and why?

I used background image to state the purpose of my website which is writing.

Also, I added link to social media like Blogger and Instagram to have more consistent image of my brand.

 ●     Which template did you use in Wix and why?

I used Sasha Blake graphic design portfolio because it consists of elements that will good present the details of my work. Also I like that I have pages there that I can add image and on another side description of it or of my work. 

●     How many pages does your website have and why?

There are 4 pages. Home page because it is a must to present my brand, it includes my name, logo, and also tagline which inform about my work, About me page that include my picture and my BIO, it shows more details about who I am, what I’m doing and what will be future, then Gallery page, it is designed for show my recent work like projects including articles. The last one is contact page, this site includes form for people who want to contact me and start to work with me or wants me to work for them.

 

Navigation:

●     Does your website have working social media icon links?

Yes, on the Contact page

●     Are your pages connected / interlinked?

Yes, on Homepage I have a button to About me page, and also and the down right side I have a button to Gallery Page.

●     Is it easy to navigate?

Yes, it is.

Yes, It is working.
