WEBSITE
In our site we have a menu, many pages to visit and a various amount of photos and movies
to grab your attention.
I feel that we have put quiet a lot of effort in presenting it neatly and finding information suitable for the site.
We based our information around these Questions:
- What it is? What we use it for?
- How it is apart of the multimedia world?
- Are they any different types? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each type?
- A simple explanation on how it works
Hopefully i have been able to supply answers to the reqiured information.

RESOLUTIONS
- We had a problem where we added a new page and ended up editing the same page, when we saved it we figured out what had happened and needed to start all over agian.
- We also expirenced another problem which was that one of the pages wouldn't link to the menu, we ended up re-creating the menu and having to link all the pages again.
ROUTINE- each lesson
We applied that information onto certain pages of our website which we had created, we also changed things as we went along, we altered how the site looked and changed how each page looked. So once we had finished one assigned topic we'd move onto the next and repeat the above.
We have made each page look different unless it is linked to some other page, as we went along we polished how each paged look. We've modified and Gen and I have both added videos and on some of our pages there are even animations to grab attention.
We thought it would a good idea if not all the pages were filled with loads of information.
We changed fonts and used different ways to show our information, some in forms of books as well.
CHOSEN SITE WIX
It allows you to alter and change what you want, and has a vast range of things to chose from.
This site is versatile as you are able to use many different multimedia devices, Text, the uploading of videos and pictures, animations it also allows you to connect to Face book and YouTube.
Gen and I had no problems collaborating on this site. We both used it without either of our pages and information being overrides however this only worked since we saved different pages at different times.
I found this site quiet easy to use. When creating your page you are opened to many different options when designing.

ASSIGNEMENT TERM 3
We have decided to use Wix due to collabartion (it works well) and it is easy to monuver and we can upload images and videos without it taking up alot of time.
The two of us need to research 4 types of multimedia each.
GEN:
- Digital Television
- Software Licebse Types
- Bluetooth
- CD's and DVD
ME:
- Data Projectors
- Social Networking
- Secondary storage (Blu Ray Discs)
- Wifi
PRONTOPAGE
You are also entitled to chooses your own widgets and some which are available are: News page, weather, calender and many more.
This site is good for collaboration meaning it is possible for 2 or more people to be editing the site at the one time. However if wanting to save you would have to save different pages so that nothing overrides.
Although trying to upload YouTube videos wont work through the HTML widget and if you do want it to work you have to try several times, this is time consuming.
