I have now completed all the pages on my website so I will be evaluating
Planning stage:
What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style / name / template
The idea is to create a simple and visually pleasing gallery website. For this, I chose the 'Designer' template. What caught my eye was the colour theme and the simplicity of the page.
Do you have a tagline on your website?
No
Research:
Which designers / artists (relevant to your continuation route) websites did you
look for inspiration?
My first choice was Philippe Stark for his Baobab table and juicer. Secondly, Jonathan Ive for his contribution in Apple product designing, however mostly for the Linn Sondek LP12-50 turntable. Furthermore, Zaha Hadid for outstanding work on Beijing Daxing International Airport.
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 wanted to create four pages (Home, Portfolio, About, and Contact), which I don't plan to extend. The idea is to keep the website simple, with all the necessary information. However, I plan to grow my portfolio to share all my work over time at university.
Content:
What is the purpose of your website?
I created this website to show my ideas, work, and progress from the very beginning of my journey as a Product Designer. It is a kind of diary
Who are your potential website users?
I hope my page will be an inspiration to other students; however, more importantly, it will attract my future employers.
Why do you think it is important to have a digital portfolio website?
In modern days of internet not having any digital background especially professional portfolio is like to not exist at all. I believe no one will take me seriously
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 image gallery and photo out of it, I also eddied my background with different image which was taken from free copyright image website, I had to resize and crop. I added text boxes to my website and edited it content by changing font, font size, colour and style, fixed header and pre prepared paragraphs, I included those changes to all buttons I created which contain text, including menu bar. For the buttons and bar menu i change the style like rounded corners, shading. I used social media buttons to connect my blogger, Instagram and X profile. All the changes i made to Keep my website within the style I want to be.
Which template did you use in Wix and why?
I chose Designer for it colour theme and simplicity as I believe is more easy to navigate through
How many pages does your website have and why?
My page had 4 pages, to keep it simple and easy to navigate through.
Navigation:
Does your website have working social media icon links?
Yes, they all working.
Are your pages connected / interlinked?
Yes, there is menu and gallery had buttons to take user in and out.
Is it easy to navigate?
I believe it is.
Does the “Contact” page / email link work?
Yes, it was tested.
Testing (this will be completed in week nine):
UX (user experience) testing – get your partner to view your website on their
mobile or other digital platform.
Ask your blog buddy for feedback on your blog.
If your website is not working on a mobile platform, you will need to go back to
the Wix Editor and check that you have enabled the mobile view.
