Kacy Steiger,
An excellent start with your course portfolio.
Project titles might be more informative than numbers for any audience other than me as the
instructor.
Consider moving away from all centering for the overview paragraphs for each project.To: Dr. Wickliff

Subject: Assessment of Website Portfolio
Overall, I am proud of my final portfolio/website. It is clean, comprehensive and easy to
follow for the user. I like the color scheme and unanimous layout to each page. Weebly proved
to be relatively straightforward (lacking too many features) while building, designing a layout
was a breeze. But it also proved to be maybe just a little too easy. There were definite
limitations, the way files uploaded, the fonts and sizes options. A hurdle I was unable to
overcome was how the files where saved and how that caused issues during their upload to the
site. Others in class had no issues uploading their files (their documents where saved in the same
manner as 1) while I was completely unable to have mine upload with anything other than scribd
The files would not upload as a slideshow as I originally intended which threw a wrench in my
plans, | adapted and it didn’t turn out terrible
Going into this project, my website building skills where most definitely rusty. I hadn’t
used Weebly since my freshman year of college much less played around with other website
building platforms. Using Weebly was relatively easy to navigate and produce a site, but I feel
that maybe playing with other sites may have allowed me to produce a website/final portfolio
that held a much more professional aesthetic. Sadly, at this point in the semester, time is money
and I lacked the time to explore other sites. One drawback that also restricted the extent of the
site was that fact that it was done for free. While the domain name that comes for free was not an
issue for me, I believe that there are definite features that could have been opened to those who
pay to build a site that would have lent to a cleaner professional look.
