I have decided to use www.wix.com to create my website for my fitness website

I chose wix because people in my group and I have previously used this website, and enjoyed using their facilities, and thought it was very easy to create for beginner, such as myself.

I also liked the idea of wix being so versatile, and having so many choices of website builders that I could use, with many different patterns and styles to choose from

When building your website, it is also easy to personalize most things about the layout of your pages and make it more personal to suit your style and what you were creating your website for – to suit your own purposes.

Website designs available:

From these choices, I had to narrow down which ones best fit my website for the benefit of my clients. What I was looking for was:

Space for logo on the front screen.

Tabs across the side/across the top or bottom of the page.

Font easy to see and read for the benefit of my clients.

More than one image space on the front page.

Whole page not consisting of one massive image.

Narrowing down my choices: From making a restricting list of what I was looking for,

this was easier for me to choose from the ones available. I then created screen shots of the ones which best suited me:

Template 2:

Template 3:

Template 4:

Template 5:

Summary of All Templates: I chose these 5 templates out of the 20-odd designs

that wix had because they all seemed to fit the criteria that I was aiming for.

However, the problem with templates 2 and 5 is that their images are either too big (filling up the whole home page) or that there are not enough image spaces (just one image on the side)

Personally, I prefer template 2

Why I chose Template 2: I chose template 2 because of the colour choices that

they displayed. I thought that it really caught my eye and was easy to see.

Template 2 also had quite a news letter type of set out. I liked this because it makes it look like that it will be updated regularly.

The tab bar on the top is very handy in that position as you can see it as soon as you open the page.

The small individual places of images and other news events seems easy to read and not have to scroll down as much. This would be handy skim read.

Getting Started: After I have finished collating all of the information of

each of the sports that I have selected to talk about, I will post them on the website under specific headings/tabs so that it will be more efficient and easy for my clients to read.

I can then take photos/get photos from the internet and post them onto the website to make it look more visually exiting.
