create your own website

Which websites (besides social media) do you visit often?

What does a website appeals to you?

Go to https://www.cam.ac.uk/ and answer the following question

Which items can you find in the menu of this website?

1. jobs
2. what's new
3. about the university
4. alumni and giving

Where visitors of a website look the most, can be displayed in a so-called "heatmap".

the more red you see, the more visitors focus on that piece of the screen.

which parts are the key focus in this ad?

1. Title (top of the ad)
2. the face of the baby
3. the word 'Baby' next to the pile of diapers
4. the diaper that the baby wears

Once you create your own website, it is important to consider the preferences of your visitors.

We have just seen that visitors focus on titles and pictures, so use pictures and titles between the text.

Now you know what a website is and how it works, it is time to create your own website!!!

But before creating one, it is wise to first make a plan

In teams I have placed a worksheet you need to fill in to make your plan.

To protect your privacy, the websites are in a protected environment.
They are only visible with a link and a password.
Outsiders cannot find the websites via a search engine.

An important part of this PO is discovering how the software works. Of course you will receive a number of tools for this. I will send an email in Magister with a manual and a number of links to YouTube videos with explanations.

But you will also have to go on a "voyage of discovery" yourself. Try things out, don't be afraid to experiment with the different parts of the program. No smoke will come out of your laptop by clicking on something ....

In class you regularly get time to work on the website, but you also have to schedule time for this as homework.
The website must be submitted no later than Friday January 14th at 12:00 noon.

-> MIND YOU!!
    Don't delay the assignment too long because you still have "all the time".
    Making a good website is more work than you might think….
I will explain how to hand in the website later on in the lessons.

Review and grading

I review different things:

•     preparation

•     content
•     applied techniques

1. preparation

Have you made a well-thought-out plan? Did you stick to that? Have you chosen to adjust the plan? And if so, why? Has your worksheet been submitted correctly and on time?
For this part you can score a maximum of 15 points

2.    Content

Does your website look attractive? Does the content draw attention in the right places? Have you opted for a good completion of the pages? Is the text tailored to your target audience? Do you have a source for images / text?
You can score a maximum of 60 points for this part.

3.    Applied techniques

Does your website only consist of images and text or have other techniques such as links or videos been added? Did you get everything from the internet or did you make parts yourself?
For this part you can score a maximum of 25 points.

4.    Points deduction

If you do not submit the website correctly or on time, 5 points (at a time) will be deducted.

The mark you get for this practical assignment counts 2x.

Good luck and have fun creating your website!
