Website Evaluation

 

Website Evaluation
Planning stage:
What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style / name / template

I wanted to to create a website that works with my project a page with calm colours and nice template to work well with Interior design. Therefore, I was thinking to add my major project for term one then I will add the other terms project in so I only wanted to include my blissful Oasis project. and I chooses that name because it refer to peaceful and serene place.

Do you have a tagline on your website? 

No I am not marketing anything.


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

I looked at Nate berkus which  I was  interested in looking at her work in relation to my own project Autism room. By incorporating her aesthetic and design principles into my work, I can create an environment that promotes well-being and enhance the overall experience for children with autism.  I also looked at Kelly Wearstler website to help me with structure because I like the way she damaged the color's togather.

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 want to make 5 pages, Homepage, about, portfolio, contact, and Blissful Oasis. To make it easy for the viewer to read and find the thing they need in much easier way. Which is the Blissful Oasis in a subpage where my project will be at.

Content:
What is the purpose of your website?

I created my website to show and put my major project in so I can show my work over the year 

Who are your potential website users?

My potential website user is for autistic people who are looking for a nice calming space.

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

It is very impotent to have digital portfolio website because the technology and internet in years later will control the world so it is a really good idea to have a digital one so it can help to save your work also it is easier for people to look at it from anywhere from the world. 


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 created my website using Wix a fixed header and footer. i did this so it can appear in each page . In my homepage i used a picture to present my website and I also changed the font type to Lulo clean to both homepage and for the navigation bars as well. In my about page added a picture of me with a introduction and i changed the font to match the others also I have arranged the text and the picture in a good way. I also added my social icons in my footer with a copyright symbol that also will appear in each page  I then added using the add button , button and links to move between pages, blank pages that I then could add galleries.


Navigation:
Does your website have working social media icon links?

 yes as I stated above 

Are your pages connected / interlinked?

Yes I used buttons and subpages to ensure that there are many ways to move around my site I also added back buttons so you don't get stuck in one page.

Is it easy to navigate?

Yes, my website is very easy to navigate. The pages move smoothly.

Does the “Contact” page / email link work?

Yes I have tested this and this works well.
