As I reflect on my experience building my website I have felt empowered. It has been a great feeling. I have accomplished something I never thought imaginable. I still have so much to learn but it has been interesting. I enjoy building website pages and adding graphics that match the content. I am very choosy in what I use. I want my audience to be engaged and learn at the same time.
I realized that when we use graphics, videos and interactive activities on our websites it meets the needs of all learners in our audience. When people look at a website they have a different set of expectations then they would a newspaper on magazine. I think they like to get the gist of the main idea quickly and graphics help. Long texts with no visuals are usually skipped over. It takes me a lot of time to build my website pages. I tend to want things to look good on the page and it is a struggle for me with getting it to look just right. White spaces and layout problems come up all the time. When I get it to look good I get excited and I feel a bit more successful. Overall my experience has good and I have learned so much. I am looking forward to having a great looking finished product to be proud of.
