This programme is called 'Webs', above is the home page.
Webs gave me a variation of categories that I could choose from before creating my website, shown above, I would have chosen small business/proffessional, but it isn't free, unlike other website programmes, so I chose to use 'Local' as it would be for a local newspaper.
Above, I have printscreened the choices that Webs has given me for the layout and presentation of my website. For a newspaper website, I would need to choose a proffessional looking website layout, but not too boring, so I am stuck on which layout to choose.
I am now looking at creating a website on Piczo. Above is the tool bar for creating a website, there are not very many choices for this.
Above I have printscreened the page that is created once a website has been created. It is just a blank page and would mean that I have to start from absolute scratch, including the layout of the page, which would be fairly time consuming.
Above I have printscreened the options that the tool bar offers. I feel that Piczo isn't proffessional enough to create a website for a local newspaper and it doesn't offer enough variation and there isn't anything particularly special and outstanding about it.
Moonfruit.com offers different types of websites and templates depending on what type of website was needed to be created. Although it doesn't seem to offer a template thast suits what I need to create my two hyperlinked pages. Although the printscreen below is a template under the 'Professional' tab; 'Metropolitan'. It appealed to me to be a website for my local newspaper as it seems professional and it allows me to add photographs, which would be good for my newspaper and allowing an insight to the stories and articles in my newspaper.
Moonfruit.com allows me to edit my pages, but editing is fairly restricted and limited to what I can change about the website, for example it doesn't allow me to add or remove hyperlinks, or even change the name of each link. I also can not change the layout of the website pages to what the template offers. This restricts my creativity on my website's appearence. The printscreen below demonstrates the possible actions I can make to change and differ my website pages.
Overall, I have chosen to use Moonfruit.com. I have chosen this because unlike Piczo, it helps create a more professional looking website, where as I have found that Piczo is tended more for a younger, unprofessional user. I initially started to use piczo to create my site and got as far as part of the home page, until I realised that it would not allow me to look as professional as I was hoping so I used Moonfruit.com knowing that I could get my website to look the standard I wanted.
