This week in my digital writing and production class, we were introduced to a new web design site. Continue reading to hear the hooplah about it!
Clueless? No Worries
That was the entire class’ face when we were told we also had to start designing our own website on top of making a weekly blog post. Fortunately, after a walk-through and a few silent tears, we realized Weebly holds your hand every step of the way.
Fantastic 🙂 Helpful 🙂 Features 🙂
Weebly is very user friendly due to:
- “Build” option on the menu. This feature has just about every option you could think of to use in the editing process of your website. For example, if you wish to add an image to your page, you go to the Build toolbar and just drag the image option to the spot of your choice.
- Tutorial Mode. For newcomers, a step by step tutorial pops up whenever you start to use a new feature.
- Themes. Weebly has a broad horizon of themes to pick from, which is very helpful because sometimes you know what you’re looking for, but the plethora of themes help you find just what you need.
Speaking of themes… Which one did I decide on?
Initially, I picked the theme titled, “Birdseye 2” because of the light blue smoke cloud that reminds me of the art on the rapper Future’s album, DS 2. I felt like I could get really creative with it. I think that I will be changing it soon to express more originality. I found a feature to create your own background, where I might go ahead and find a great butterfly picture or beautiful sunset to be the background. On the other hand, I may not change the theme because it is a helpful crutch in the process of not jacking things up and maintaining a neat look on the page.
