3 Things I Want to Learn from ENGL 3368

The main reason I signed up for this course was to learn how to build a proper website. I haven't used html in three years, which I wasn't proficient in the language, either. Therefore, I want to become proficient in html. Once I have knowledge of html, I want to be able to layout websites in a way that pulls the audience in making them come back to my website. I want to be able to understand the color schemes and image grouping without overloading the pages: I like the simplicity. Also, I want to be able to determine what information I want to share with the audience compared to information that is unrelated to them. As mentioned before, my main focus is on learning how to build a proper website. This knowledge will help me build a proper website for my boyfriend’s tattoo artist website. This website will bring in more clients because it can serve as an online portfolio—consisting of a bio, pictures, events attending, and other idea pages. As of now, he doesn’t have a website of his own. He uses facebook and his cell phone as his client contact sources; thus, my small project would be to develop a website for his clientele.

  1. Nice work, Melissa. Very good post. Nice to see that you have HTML experience and would like to learn more specifics. You'll learn terminology, and nice thinking about producing an online ePortfolio. Do you have pictures of the shop and examples of tattoos, etc.?

  2. After reading your post I can see that you have prior knowledge to some of the subjects covered in this course. That will help you help others(like me) with HTML and page design. I want to be able to fully create a working and respectable website by the end of this class as well. Good luck!

  3. I could see that website being very beneficial. Many people have no idea what they would want if they were to get a tattoo and having the ability to see some examples from the comfort of their home might encourage them to try something out.

  4. I do have pictures of the shop and tattoos. I'm planning on using them. Since I'm going to have the homepage have a graphic including a table with links, I need to remember how to use a link to open another page within the website.
