Weekly Reflections:Week 1

Week 1: In the first week of  creating the website, I was able to finish the homepage and also I was able to finish the choosing the activity page. For the homepage I used a template from Wix which was a tutoring website template and then I changed the colors and the background and I added my own pictures and my own information. As you can see, I named my website French for Beginners because for most of the Year 7's it is the first time that they are learning the language. Then I added a task bar which was there in my design and it contains all the pages that I am going to include in the website. Under the task bar there is a slide show with pictures from France and pictures of the school and next to it is the signing up area. When a student signs up to the website, the website sends me an e-mail and I would then know the names of the student and their e-mail. Under the slideshow and sign up, I put an area where the student can read about how the website would help them, what they would learn, and also about me( about the creator of the website). Next to the information there are pictures of France and buttons under each one of them and if you would click on the buttons it would take you to a website with fun facts about that thing. Under everything there is quotes that are in French by famous French people. The background of the page is palm trees which are moving as you go on the website. I think the homepage looks very good and very neat and it looks similar to what I had designed but with a few things added and removed and I like the way it looks now. In the same week, I also made the choosing the activity page and that page is one that I added and was not mentioned in my design. On the page there is a paragraph saying why you should learn French with a picture of a girl working next to it. Under that it shows the different activities on the website. There are buttons under each one saying test yourself or vocabulary video and when you click on it it takes you directly to the page. This page is very useful because it will make things easier for the students to guide themselves around the website. The background is also the same palm trees and it is the same on every page of the website. In the first week I made good progress and I was able to create two important pages of the website that look very good and better than my designs that I made. The banner of the website which is the top also stay's the same through each page of the website.
