Reflection & Evaluation

In this evaluation I will be talking about my personal reflection on my project which was to create a website from scratch about a specific topic which I choose to be Drug Awareness.

Firstly, I think my website turned out to be much better then I planned too. It doesn’t have the complete professional look however it has everything I wanted on it. My creation did differ from the design I created previously however the main idea still came from the design I choose. Personally I think my banner and the layout of the website is really good as not only is it easy to use but it is organized and the information is easily readable. What I could improve on is the overall look of the website. I could make it look more professional by having advertisements and extra things on my home page for e.g. On the homepage of kidshealth.org they have a quiz on the side, along with other things such as “topic of the day”, “most viewed article” etc.  I could also make it more eye-catching by adding in more pictures and making them stand out. Another thing I could improve on was adding things such as Facebook, twitter buttons that allow the reader to share the information with someone else and possibly add contact information as well and maybe a comment section or a share your personal experience for the last page which was teenage experiences, this would then allow the readers to come together with people who have stopped taking drugs or have helped other stop.

Secondly I think my blog is really good too; there is a lot of stuff missing however I think I have managed to do a lot. I think I slacked off on my plan the most, though I have the basic requirements I have not gone into further depth with my work answering questions such as if I’ve stayed on my plan or how things are going which is something I need to look at next time. Also I could have posted a few pictures of my website coming together as additional work to my design and possibly create.

Overall I think my work is quite good I have managed to stay on task and I learnt a lot such as how to use Dreamweaver effectively and information about drugs I did not know before. It was challenging however I think I did quite well, although I may have slacked off on some aspects but in an overall look I’m pleased with what I have done.
