WEEK 5

this week was overwhelming, informative and a little frustrating but I LEARNED SO MUCH! I have been struggling to make my site elegant and easy to use. But with Shopify I have learned that its not as hard as it may seem. they simplify so many things for you that it isn’t as stressful or labor intensive as WordPress is and that’s what I have been used to.

setting up the buttons were easy because they are basically templates and all fill in the blanks and so the hardest thing for me was to find the correct path in the back end to fill in all the blanks. I also couldn’t find the source code for a little bit and had to do a lot of searching.

I loved reading other students posts. they bring so much to the table that my mind can even begin to think of! they help expand my thought processes so much and allow me to see things in different ways. I also love that we are all so different in our priorities but we are all right. there are SO many things we need to think about when starting a website and there are so many different site builders so we are all going to do them a little differently.

I haven’t looked ahead at next weeks assignments yet but I can’t wait to see what else we are going to be learning! I have started on adding pages and content to them. I need to take more photos for my products and rethink my content ideas because the other sites we compared last really helped me think about simplifying so I am excited to do that 🙂
