Blog 7 Google websites



This week I have been working on my wiki page and I have learned a lot about how to build a website with Google websites.  Researching how to build a good site has a lot more details than I originally expected. For example the placement of pictures in the text helps the reader because it makes the website more user friendly.  This is important because the more user friendly you website is the more people will visit your website.  However too many pictures on a website can be confusing and can make a website not user friendly at all.

Some other things that make website user are good content. This means having buttons and icons in good position where people will naturally look.  This can be kind of tricky because not everyone thinks a like but there are some things that can be placed in common areas such as the home button and log out.  I learn something new every day about how to build a more effective website I really have found this class to be very helpful.

  1. I haven't heard of Google websites before. It will be interesting to learn more by reading your wiki. I've worked with many Microsoft products where I have created brochures, newsletters and flyers. This also entails creating content that is pleasing to the reader. It can be challenging to predetermine what others will find appealing. I think creating a website would be challenging and a lot of fun. Enjoy the challenge. I agree that this class is very helpful.
