Website decision

Decision on website provider

After meeting with my client, we have discussed the different uses of his website and the different types of website providers in more detail. After some deliberation, we decided on using Wordpress, as from registering and looking at some examples, he liked how they were presented and the professionalism of their appearance.

We set up the website, so that I could show the initial process of how this is done to my client, and help him become familiar with the site. This was also however, my first use of Wordpress too.

First use of Wordpress

My first uses of Wordpress have been to set up an account for my client. In doing this, I discovered that it is a more complex set up than my current blog/website that I use, which is Blogger. The initial set up was easy, but to customise the look, it seemed more complex, but also more flexible. We set up the website using the .com version instead of the .org. This is because my client decided that he would like to use it as simply and easily as possible, as he is not new media savvy.

Some of the uses of the customisation tools were confusing at first, and although the website has been initially set up, I will have to become more familiar with the interface and the design tools of the website in order to achieve something resembling what my client would desire. I am going to work on some designing in sketches and colour schemes using a colour wheel; to try and gain a clearer view of what the finished website may look like when completed.
