Following from my last video post where I was exploring Wix and stated that "If it really is this easy I'll surely tell you guys", well unfortunately its not. After exploring the template and attempting to just put in my own pictures as i stated in my video post i realised it wasn't very simple. The problem with he template is that seeing as the format is already set out for me, there are some things that i would have liked to change but i couldn't. There were many things that i wanted to take out and put in but seeing as it was a template that was out in front of me i could only use i=my individual creativity to a certain extent. Another disadvantage of the template was that when i had an image in my head i could not create exactly what i imagined in my head seeing as the template would restrict . what i wanted to do. I also found it difficult to alter and edit the template and it generally seemed much more complicated than and much more of a bad idea than i first thought of it.
When speaking to another media student in another class, she told me that she attempted to create her website on a template at first and also found it very difficult. She told me that she therefore created a blank Wix page and started it from scratch. I wasn't too sure about this idea as it seemed very time consuming but she assured me that its not as hard as it seems and that is actually much more convenient than using a template. She explained how using a blank Wix page would mean that all your thoughts and ideas could be regurgitated on to the page exactly how you imagine it. The fact that doing it this way cannot put any limits on my own individual creativeness i listened to her advice and started a blank paged one. So far i feel i am getting along just fine and fine it much easier to operate and implement my ideas. Creating the website seems like much more fun now and looks like i will be able to design exactly what i want. This is how the front page looks so far:
