Creating a Web-Based Resource for a Population At Risk

WEBSITE SHARING AND FEEDBACK 2

Website Designing

Creating a website isn't an easy task as people think. During website design, one is exposed to multiple things that need to be done to achieve the best website at the end of it. For example, accessibility, compatibility, readability, and navigability are some of the essential things I dealt with during the designing though there were challenges too (Günthermann, & Kingston, 2018). Some challenges I faced included being penalized for slow uploading of images since they were large and unable to extract clear images, so I ended up uploading images that were not clear (Önal, & Alemdag, 2018).

Some of the things I learned and needed on the suggest designing of a website included the following: the latest designs and, the use of minimum textures and colors. The thematic color scheme can be maintained and not using overused stock images and icons since they can erode the trust of viewers (Williams, 2018). Now that I was addressing the issue of homelessness and risk at families, I had to design new images and icons. The design was friendly because of interacting with different images and different colors, but the design was also hectic because more content to address my big issue was needed.

Based on what I learned and utilized that information on making the website, I know that my website will look presentable and attract as many viewers as possible. My vision includes addressing more challenges concerning child maltreatment and homelessness. I will use my website to address problems that have been eating up the economy. I believe that content is king within a website, but I found out that one student had just uploaded some images and written nothing on them (Günthermann, & Kingston, 2018). Another student had also uploaded some bigger images and too much font. This student should try using less font to add interest (Williams, 2018). Limiting the colors and fonts is a better way to website designing. On the issue of bigger images, the student should try using smaller files to minimize the uploading speed.
