My Web 2.0 Tool Smackdown
The application I chose for this Smackdown is called WIX, which is a free web-based tool designed to help you create websites with ease. I was first introduced to this site during one of my classes at ACCC. I also used it for my graphic design class to help build and assort my digital portfolio. There are lots of cool features that WIX employs to simplify the process of building a website, which I found to be really helpful. Whether you are building a personal blog, a business page, or setting up an online store, WIX has everything you need and more.
This presentation went a bit smoother than my last as I was more familiar with the program and project requirements, as well as how to use the screen-capture tool Screencast-O-Matic. In my video tutorial, I walk you through the ins and outs of using WIX and how to build a website from the ground up. Hopefully you guys will find it useful in some way, as I'm a really big fan of WIX and have had great success with it in the past. If you are interested in checking out the websites I created through WIX, I will link them below the video. Thanks as always for visiting my blog :)

Hi Jake. I have heard of WIX but have never tried it before. I have seen multiple advertisements for WIX and can definitely say that I have been intrigued and interested in giving it a try. Creating a website can sometimes be extremely difficult, so I love that WIX focusses on making that process easier. The Screencast-O-Matic tool sounds very useful. I see WIX coming in handy for me in my future in business marketing. Since I am not very tech savvy, I love when websites like WIX provide me with easy ways of getting the job done. My next time making a website will definitely be with WIX. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Jake,
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with WIX for website building. There are certainly a lot of advertisements for this tool nowadays and seems to be very similar to Carrd. WIX seems to be focused on making website building accessible for the average person, regardless of skill, and that's definitely an admirable goal. Fantastic presentation!
Hello, Jake!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this app/program.I love that it allows you to use a template, especially for people who are not creative. This is such a useful app for entrepreneurs, or anyones new or upcoming business. Websites can be complicated for those who don't know how to use technology to make, therefore, this app definitely simplifies it.
Hi Jake, great job on your smackdown presentation. While I have never heard of WIX, I thought you made it seem easy to use and I can definitely see how it might be useful for someone in graphic design. What other careers do you think could use this tool to their benefit?
ReplyDeleteHi Jake, I am not familiar with WIX as I haven't done website building before but I do have a lot of friends that have recently been starting up businesses so I can see how it would be helpful to them and I will definitely pass on the info. I loved that you included your own websites on here as well. Amazing presentation.
ReplyDeleteJake,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Wix before. I think its neat how you can create websites by using this tool. I will have to give Wix a try. This is a great way for others to connect with you by sharing a website you created.
