Weekly Blog #7 Compare/Contrast Websites

• The website I created in Web Expressions was a very different experience from the website I created in Webnode. I notice right away that working in a ready made template has its challenges as you are limited to the changes you can make to the actual template without totally changing the html code. But it was easier to make changes to the template in Web Expressions with the style sheets then it was in Webnode, I felt like my only option in Webnode was to choose another template, but that would then change my whole design layout. What I found was the same is that my masthead and tagline heading does appear on all pages which makes for a consistent design and flow. My navigation on the Web Expressions website are left aligned and in the Webnode site they are spread across the page. The color scheme is pretty much the same as my family color's are purple and gold. I was able to find a template with at least a shade of purple if not the exact color. I had some difficulty with tables in the Webnode site that I didn't encounter in the Web Expression site. The links that I set up in Web Expressions took several steps, but not so in the Webnode site so it made inserting links much simpler. All in all this experience has awakened a creative side I didn't know I could possess.
