WEBSITE: Using Wix (Initial Stages)

WEBSITE: Wix.com/alternetmovie


In considering production for our movie website, we have decided to use and sign up for an account on the very user-friendly and easy website maker 'Wix.com'.



'Wix (Windows Installer XML) is a free softwarre toolset that builds Windows Installer packages from an XML document'


Firstly, using our group pre-set login details used for our blog and YouTube page, I signed up for the Wix website and set out to make our website by selecting the category and primary purpose on our website e.g. The website can be classes under 'Entertainment' more specifically 'film'.



The next step is selecting a template amongst the options Wix has and that is suited to the ideas we already have as a group as to what our website will look like. Keeping in line with our drafts and movie theme e.g. internet and Facebook, we were straight away drawn to the Facebook layouts. Unfortunately, upon playing around  and trying to edit each of the 'Facebook' templates listed above, I realised the actual 'Facebook' logo and banner was not included or allowed to be featured on the actual website once published.



So instead of settling for any of the Facebook templates, I decided to pick any other template and manually edit the layout to how we initial wanted and as close as possible to the drafts we made.
