01. Originally, we started off with a website that I (Sam) found called Wix and originally I was rather unimpressed by its simplicity (as I have had experience with making websites for about six years now), but realising that the rest of my group had had little experience and were rather alienated with the process, decided that its 'drag and drop' and then edit based style may work as we managed to collate their resources and our own to create a page which as described earlier, as looking like some sort of photo board, which emphasised our story as being one based around being stalked, so with newspaper -clipped fonts and images heightened this atmosphere. With feedback from the class, we realised that it did not explicitly match with a conventional thriller of a black colour scheme, simplicity and some action on page. So with this, it was our duty to try and alter the page. Giving up, we decided to try another site.
02. On suggestion by some of our classmates, we tried another webpage called Jimdo, which left me rather impressed by how professional it looked; although it soon became very clear that it did not contain everything we needed. Lacking the ease of access which Wix had, along with many of the basic tools such as inserting an image or editing the navigation panel in the way we wanted to, we realised that the page really wasn't working for us.
03. Then we moved onto Webs. This was one of the very first pages I used when I started making a website, and was rather astounded by how much it had changed. But upon manipulating the site to suit our needs, realised it was too template based, and that it would look to 'ready made' and lacked any sense of originality. With that, we quickly gave up with Webs, and after a long debate decided we'd revert back to 'Wix' yet again/
04. Finally, we realised the true potential of Wix. With a LOT of hard work, we managed to create a conventional page which still contains our own flare of originality, with adding scans of text and our own images to literally make the page our own. Although the page is still under construction as we try to put the last pieces of our projects together, but by the time we finish, we will have seen how much we have developed in terms of the website, and how far our ideas have come. For your benefit, we have listed our two wix pages so you can see this difference for yourselves! (Please note that the first page is unfinished as we scraped it ! )
