Creating homepage on Wix

Hi,

In this blog, I will be showing the process of creating my homepage on Wix.

Wix is a software company that allows you to create an online website by using the tools.  

I will be using Wix to create my 'online portfolio' for my Digital arts course.

WIX

After registering you get asked what you want to create in my case it is the one on the right side that says; Create your website with the editor.

///

Then I could either choose between a template that already exists or create one.

///

I chose ''Blank templates'' and then ''Start from scratch''.

///

 

Once I clicked on ''start from scratch'' this is how it looked.

///

I added text for my header by using 'Add' and then chose the wished size and font.

///

I chose the font 'Lulo clean' the reason I got inspired to do this font is that when I was doing my website research I got inspired by the 'DAZED' website where they also use the big all-caps font on the text.

///

Then I added a Welcome strip by clicking on 'Add > Strip > Welcome'.

///

Then I chose a template that I could work on and adjust the color and text.

///

I gave the background a white color.

///

And edited the text as wished.

///

I then changed the image by clicking on 'change image'.

///

Then I chose '+upload media' and added a picture.

Then added a menu bar by using 'Add > Menu > Vertical menus'.

FINAL RESULT

HOMEPAGE

This is the final result of my homepage, I have chosen to use this picture because it is fashion photography which I think fits perfect to my portfolio and it may be attention attractive because of the pose and colors. I got the inspiration of using an image that attracts attention from the Harpers Bazaar website while doing my research on websites. This is going to make people interested in my work and they are going to want to see more. I have chosen a blank background because I want the attention to go to the work that I will be posting and this will also make it easier for people to find the right information. People tend to look on the left side of a website for more information so that is the reason I put my menu bar on the left side. As I mentioned earlier the website 'DAZED' has inspired me to use an all-caps header.
