Before we started to create our website, Ruth and I both looked around on the internet at various websites that allow you to create your own. Our final decision was to use 'Wix', a free site specially designed for website building. We found this to be the one most suited to our requirements, and liked the fact you are able to complete the website you're creating before publishing it to the internet.
To begin with, we chose to design our website, by deciding on which colours, templates and themes we wanted to use. Wix allows you to choose from either a blank website, allowing you to create yours totally from nothing, injecting all your own ideas and designs, or to use one of their template designs, which offer you ideas and colour schemes. We were originally going to use the blank version, but after thinking about it and discussing it with Ruth, we changed our minds and chose to use one of the templates. We both agreed on the one we thought would be best suited to '21TV', and started to adapt it to fit it's needs.
Chosen template:
One we had decided on the template we were using, we deleted all the content that was on there as examples, as we thought this would allow us to use our own ideas, and not be influenced by what was already there. It also made it a lot more easy to work with. We replaced the example menu bar with our own, choosing to have four options: home, shows, about and news.
As a high percentage of the website will be based on images and information on the shows, we are restricted as to what we can do until we have that content.
