Eleanor N- NEA blog

  I will be using Wix.com to build my website for my magazine, because it is user-friendly, and they already contain lots of useful templates for different websites, so that i have a variety to choose from. Wix also lets me design and edit very easily, using the drag and drop method. I did research on both wesbites, and my attention was drawn to wix. Wix has overtook Weebly in recent years. They have developed features such as the video box and have made every effort to address the concerns users had. Wix Turbo, does make their sites even faster too. Weebly has not moved its platform forward at nearly the same rate. Even though it is a reliable and tested platform, the templates are also stylish and responsive but that's it. Weebly will only satisfy the most basic use case, whereas Wix is a lot more flexible and initiative.

 -  My website will confirm the expectations of current affairs. This means i will include news site links such as BBC, and add articles about new and latest current affairs, along with images to support this. - Social Media links- i will use these to communicate with my readers, and give them the latest updates with my current affairs magazine. This also fits into my 16-25 middle to upmarket demographic, as more young people use social media on a daily basis, than the older generation. - Working hyperlinks - Contact details page -Clear and detailed layout- images and text in the right place so that readers are satisfied. - Colour scheme- modern (white, blue, red etc) that match my magazines - Editors note/introduction to a new current affairs magazine- to make the readers aware. -Audio visual content- interview with one of the models about a current affairs issue e.g. black lives matter

  Home Page Issues page I have chosen this layout for the homepage and about pages because its minimalist as that is all that can really be achieved with the planning method, but also because the website itself should be minimalist as the main focus should be on the current affairs stories. i will mostly have minimal colours such as greys, whites, black (colour scheme on my contents pages) but important information will be in visible colours to attract the audience. T he homepage link, menu, social media links, subscription link and essential website links/information are constantly present on the home page. I will also include an interview on the homepage with one of the models about a current affairs issue.

  Vogue:  https://www.vogue.co.uk/ The layout is neat and tidy, with lots of pictures on the home page, leading to articles related to that original image. At the top it shows the tabs which are easy to navigate and find. This shows what the website will feature and you can click on them to find all the articles etc linked to that tab etc fashion: The overall navigation of the site is easy and simple, with fast links that are clear. The home page features lots of different topics, from beauty to anti-racism. This again features many different links, original photos and articles related to that topic. The language is clear and big to read, with the titles and captions in a high quality serif font. Some are in bold making it easier to read and makes it stand out/contrast against the smaller writing. I will use this in my own website. The images they have used are usually models/celebrities posing either in a studio, or in a chosen location. They follow the typical conventions of...
