If I had another chance?

If I had another chance to complete my website, I would spend more time designing and developing the layout. I would find out how to deign and code a real frame around the site, and therefore present it better. I would also use more images to link to external pages. I would also test new colour themes to see if any worked better with my images. However, I believe I did well with the first website I created, as I managed to layout the text and images appropriately and and hyperlink everything.

Reviewing my website

My website consisted of 4 pages of information, the homepage being 'what is viral marketing', page two being 'how it began', page three being 'platforms' and page 4 being 'purpose'. I kept the background white, and let the only colour be from the frame and pictures.

I think I did well with this website, as I had never used Dreamweaver before, and did not use a template. I used Youtube tutorials to help me get to grips with the basics, and how to create a simple website. I used AP DIV for the whole website when entering text and pictures.

I managed to successfully link my pages together, and link pictures to external websites. I also managed to place all my information in appropriate places, and easily manoeuvre them if needed. I learnt how to code basic text and change the size of pictures using the code.

And More Research...!

This article was written by 6 different people, who all had an insight on viral marketing. They compared the concept and result of viral marketing to what they called 'electronic word-of-mouth'. This article helped me to further understand the concept and use of viral marketing, in order for me to write about it in my website.

Learn More...?

Looking at other websites, I found many of them had a side bar of external articles, where they had either got some of their information from or their inspiration from. This is why I chose to have one on the side, of two links I got a lot of my information from. 

Text

I chose Calabri and Comic Sans for the titles and text under 'learn more'. This is because they stand out and would be different from my other text with the information about viral marketing.

The informative text was Cambria. I used these three fronts because ther were clear and easy to read. I debated whether to have a background colour, for me to change the colour of the text, but when I had changed the background to black, it didn't fit my theme. So I kept the background white, text black, and allowed the images and website frame to give the colour.

Colour theme

I used light blue to make a frame for my website, because it is a fairly neutral colour. It also matched with my main picture of the 'go viral' image. Looking at templates on google and other websites, I saw that every site had a main picture at the top and a frame by the top, some extending all over the site page. This is why I chose an image to enlarge, and place at the top. I found the picture on the coding, and edited the picture size, by changing the numbers accordingly,
