What is the latest with making my website as part of my assessment?

I have been successfully making my website to look the way I want but with some obstacles along the way. This Website that I have to make is part of my Professional practice 2 module where we can either make a website or a catalogue but I have chosen to do both for my assessment.

I basically have to make a website that is clear enough for the viewers to see, treating like a kind of white wall gallery with some information about myself as well. The catalogue is pretty much the same thing but not as technical as the website and I wanted to do the catalogue just for my printing and nothing else.

Good points about making this website?

The best thing about making a website mean that you can display all your work on their for people all over the world to see. I also like the designing and custom setups of making pages and putting in buttons and widgets. I never thought I would have to create a website for this course but in the end I had to make one as I have already done a catalogue in my previous year.

This website has also allowed me to link my website to my blog just by putting in my A-N blog URL address into the main menu button settings and I felt quite happy about this that it worked very well. This module has certainly tested my capabilities out of using technical computing software and had taught me a lot.

Bad Points about making a website?

I would say that the worst thing about making a website is trying to look for the best website company that would give all the essentials you need to customise everything the way you want it to look. In the end I did choose Godaddy.com where it does actually supply everything you could possibly need to customise pages, writing, buttons and videos, anything you can think of is there.

Another bad thing that did take up most of my time was making my menu page in the Gallery of work page. The part that took a lot of time was the menu where you have printing, Lens based media, sculpture, drawings and collaborations. Everytime you click on printing page you then have to make another menu to go on that page so that when you click on the different menu buttons you can see its the same.

Next plan of action?

I will just keep on trying to perfect my website now until the degree show is finished and if I am not sure, I will ask some of my teachers what they think of it and they can tell me if I need to add anything more. For now I will just try my best to make the layouts look spot on and work more on my about me and my artwork page to try make that story better.
