W05 Reflection: Site Design


This week I researched a bit about website design and checked out a couple of my favorite blogs to look at similarities, what appeals to me, and how they use photos, links, and social media. I seem to be drawn toward sites with a simple background, usually white, with prominent, clear, and attractive photography. I like pops of color with a cohesive theme, so everything seems to coordinate and compliment each other. I want to employ those ideas into my own website. For this project, I will probably include a homepage that has an introduction with a photo, a blog page to display posts, a shop, and a contact page. In the future, I wonder if it would be better for the reader to land first on the blog post page and be able to navigate to whichever page they want, or just to read the most recent posts. Having the menu at the top seems like the best place, and including a search bar is also a useful tool. I am still figuring out how to best integrate affiliate links and want to research more about what kinds of things I can promote.
