Making a Website

So I am writing this before I actually publish my site but I wanted to talk a little about it so everyone gets to know about it (I also didn't want this page to be blank).  If you look at the bottom of the page you can see I made this site on Weebly.  It is easy to use but still there is a lot to think about. I may be a 21st century kid but I still get confused when I see technology stuff for the first time.  After an hour of getting lost doing half the things from my phone and the other half form my computer, I finally managed to get most of the site functional and looking kind of like what I envisioned.  The great thing is once I publish the site, I still get to change it and work on it making it better and better every time. 

If I could code I bet I could make a much better site.  But that is just out of my reach at the moment.  I would like to give some bullet points about what I learned about making this site so if you want to make one it's a bit easier.

• Take Photos! I had a little photo session one day so that I had way more than enough pictures to edit and use for my site.  I found that really helpful.
• Check to see if your Domain is free first: I found this out after I chose everything and got started.  Luckily mine was still free. I used GoDaddy to check to see if my name was free.
• Take it slow: Trying to rush around before bed to finish the site didn't help. But waking up early in the morning and getting to work with a full day ahead of me sure did.  It's also raining right now...my workshop is outside...great day to not be outside.
• Find a site that works for you: I read lots of reviews about different website creation hosting sites and Weebly was better for me. It is straight forward and drag and drop kind of stuff. That works for me.  I also get to choose how much I want to spend on what kind of plan.  I can update at any time if I need to expand my site. It's just what I need but you might need some other kind of site to make your best webpage.

These are just my thoughts, don't take them too seriously, I'm still learning.  But if you ever want to make a website, give it a try!

Peace out!
