CRAP

Hello!!

In class, we did talk about C.R.A.P and how it can break or make a site. As an example, we saw a professor’s personal page of contact for his students. As more classes got added to his regiment, so did the aesthetics of his page. Even his profile picture was kept the same, it did however, change position and size.

We sadly judge books by the covers, or in this case, websites. In InDesign, that is very important to have everything aesthetically pleasing. If the content does not draw the reader’s eye, then it does not get read. I learned this lesson in Yearbook when I was on the committee during high school. It was sad that we personally did not see value in written content and it showed at the end result when almost everyone in the school pointed out the tiny spelling mistakes.

So lesson learned; we need to spell and grammar check before sending off to the final product. So on the website, I figure that any text-based content, I should write it in a word document before publishing it for the world to see.

Recently, the group decided to go with Wix instead, which is a good idea. I personally find it hard to navigate through considering Weebly. Wix looks amazing for the eye though. Jho was playing around with the group page and even with the stock pictures, the colors and layout was amazing.

When I construct my pages, which will hopefully be soon, I will try to keep in mind these few tips that I will share to y’all! This one will take you to Forbes tips for a good site. They look at rich people, so they must know what is u! Also, here are 13 simple tips for a BOMB website. Lastly, this link will talk about C.R.A.P.
