Week 6


Wow! Oh my goodness...I really created a web page for my business. I didn't think I would be able to do it. Everyone said it was pretty easy, but I was so intimidated I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I decided I really don't want to be a web designer, but I did have fun figuring out how I wanted it to look. I can imagine there will be some tweaking to it in the coming weeks, but overall, I am happy with it.

I was able to reach out to my son-in-law for some assistance when I had an issue, and call customer support with another issue. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to answer my questions. I ended up using Justhost as my hosting site and using the Weebly site through them. It turned out to be fairly easy. There was a learning curve though, but after some time trying to figure some things out, I was off and running.

Week 8

This week, since there wasn't too much to do by way of assignment in the class, I showed a lot of people at work the website I created for my project. Many people were impressed, as was I, when they first looked at it. I am happy with how it came out. It seems that the impression is, if I have a website, then I must have a very viable business. It makes the company seem more professional than if I just told someone about my business. To have them be able to look at it from one of their personal devices sure makes it seem more legitimate. Knowing this, however, may make me begin to think twice before I buy something off of someone's site. It is best to make sure it is a reputable company that I would be dealing with. Hopefully, with my website, those that see it will feel like it is a good and honest company to work with.

Week 10

I can safely say that I am in a state of confusion with regards to our assignments and what I am looking at in Google Adwords/Analytic information! This is definitely exposing me to concepts that I didn't know I didn't know and so I feel like I am learning new things. I appreciate that we have an active discussion board with people who all contribute and ask and answer questions. I will have to look at when the office hours are and try to attend (often times, I am at work) which may help my understanding a little more. I feel like I don't know my website too well either and don't feel proficient with what to do when someone contacts me on through the website. Luckily, a couple of people in my group are using Weebly as well so maybe they can provide some instruction. I have been excited to learn about this, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it as well.

Week 11

This week I watched my AdWords account with great interest. It was very fun to see the impression count grow higher and higher. I did have to lower my daily budget amount as I felt like I would run out of the dollar amount credit I was given after I spent my allotted $25. I thought I calculated it correctly, but it seemed off somehow. It has been interesting to see what keywords generate the impressions and clicks. I can see how important the stats of a website would be to business owners and the need to continually evaluate and change their approach, if necessary. In learning about the search engine optimization, I am a little confused on how I would link my page from other pages. I wasn't understanding the linking options very well. I did learn the importance of keywords along with being able to share the site through social media channels. Anything I can do to drive traffic to my site will yield benefits later.
