REFLECTION
A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server. It is popular nowadays because it has always been a great help to everyone. Many individual access different websites to gather and give information, to communicate, and to be entertained by the different media arts found in the website. We were tasked to create a website for our school Notre Dame of Cotabato (NDC), and I must tell it was not easy.
Wix.com is a cloud-based web development platform that was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company also called Wix. It allows users to create HTML5 web sites and mobile sites through the use of online drag and drop tools. It is the website where I created my own website for NDC. I was really frustrated the first time I heard that we are going to create our own website. Many of my classmates said that it is easier to create a website using Wix.com. I was really stressed that time since I was not familiar with Wix. I’ve always thought that creating a website is difficult since it include codes and such. Even though I found it difficult, I still tried my hardest to be able to know how to really use it. I scanned all of its components, the designs and everything. Through my hard work in getting to know Wix, I learned the steps and techniques on how to effectively use it and immediately, I started working on my website. I was really glad because it was not really that hard as I expected it to be. I started saving pictures from all of the possible social media where people, specifically NDC students, could share their pictures. Looking for facts and other necessary information about NDC such as its history has been part of my routine whenever I open my social media accounts. There were countless of times where I feel so tired and sleepy because of how I focus so much in making my website look outstanding. It may not be too obvious but I enjoyed creating my website even though how hard it was. We were already into html when we were in 8th grade so it was not my first time in making one. I’ve noticed that creating with codes for html is much harder than a simple drag and drop from Wix.com. Even so, I still found it difficult since you need to allign correctly the images you drag, your unit will sometimes lag because of the extremely high data that the website is consuming.
I learned that in making a website, you need to put effort, patience and the will to finish it. It will take too much of your time and will stress you out but the outcome will be so worth it because we cannot deny the fact that the designs provided by Wix.com all look good and eye-catching. Publishing your own website is such a fulfillment because it is hard to believe the fact that you’ve done something great and you’ve passed a very difficult challenge, creating your own website.
