Assignment 3: Webpage (CO7, ILO.B.SK.3, SK.5, IS.5, AL.3, BIS.2)

For this assignment you either create a new webpage or evaluate your current webpage. For those creating a new webpage, you will get a taste of how easy it can be to create a page, but will feel the challenge of generating the information to populate the page. Let’s get started!

Create the following:

1. Create a login for Wix.com. (Note: Click "Support" and review information on Wix before getting started.)
2. A question will appear asking: "What kind of website would you like to create?"
3. Select "Online Store"
4. Click "Get Started"
5. You will be presented with three pages of templates. Select a template closest to the type of business you want to create. Remember these are the free templates, if you want to pay for a template you have the option to. But for our course free is easier.
6. After selecting your template populate the following:
   1. Customize the "Home" page (this includes store name, logo, etc.).
   2. Populate the "About Us" section (this includes mission, vision, purpose, etc.)
   3. Populate the "Contact Us" section.

Note: Do not populate the Terms and Conditions, Copyright, etc. (the fine print stuff), we will do that later in Assignment 5.

What is to be submitted in the course:

1. Capture screenshots of the before and after of the "Home," "About Us," and "Contact Us" sections.

Submit a 1-page narrative on why you selected the theme that you did and what you thought of the process of selection and creating the first three areas of the webpage. Include the screenshots in the assignment. Include what you might need/want to update and explain why. Note: Is not acceptable to say "nothing."

Include a minimum of two scholarly sources

Written paper at least 1 page

Minimum 1 page of before and after screenshots

Format your paper according to APA guidelines

Note: You have the option of publishing this website, but I would not recommend it as we are building it in pieces and you do not want folks "finding" a course assignment-work in progress website. Screenshots are important so remember to take them as I cannot see your website as it is not "live."

If you have a current website:

Submit a 2-page report that includes (but not limited to):

1. Screenshots of the "Home," "About Us," and "Contact Us" sections.
2. Where did you create the website?
3. How long did it take you to create the website?
4. How long has the website been "live?"
5. Include a link to the website.
6. Evaluate your site; what do you need to change/update? Why? (Focus on the Home, About Us, and Contact Us information.)

Note: Is not acceptable to say "nothing."

Include a minimum of two scholarly sources

Written paper at least 2 pages

Format your paper according to APA guidelines
