I chose to use Wix for my website platform as it seemed to be the easiest one to use. I am not very code savvy. I once tried to use WordPress and it was disastrous. I figured this assignment is about creating the best content for a website and not necessarily about being the best web developer - so that's why I chose Wix. I've never used Wix before but I watched a couple YouTube tutorials and it seemed manageable. The little that I played with it, it seemed quite easy and simple so that's why I went that route.
The template I chose is called Fresh Juices. I chose this template because it was clean and simple. Our fictitious client is about fresh food and it seemed like a good fit. I really want to emphasize the freshness in the clients food and this template made me think of something clean and fresh the second I saw it.
The features I will leverage will be the simplicity of navigation of the site. I will also focus on the simple design and clean colors. The customer wants something simple. They want to be able to find the truck quickly, understand the menu offerings, and know what the brand is about. With this template, I believe I can achieve all this and keep the budget low for the client.
I have not used any other CMS. I did try WordPress, like I mentioned, and definitely do not recommend it for an amateur designer. I have used Blogger in the past and I think it's great, but something more focused on blogging. I did create a website on Blogger years ago but it took a lot of effort for it to look more like a website than a blog.
Here is a link to my Reel Deal Tacos Site for now. Hoping to make it great for the client sooner than later. Reel Deel Tacos Website.
