Summary:
My first goal was to finish gathering the content I needed for my website. I planned for evidence to be additions to my "sustainable home content" google doc. I ended up realizing that once I was finalizing my website, it was much easier to just put everything straight onto the website rather than having my google doc be the middle-ground. I finished this goal, but my evidence was screenshots of my website instead.
My second goal was to add information to the rest of my website. I had to add information to my materials, power, heat/ac/plumbing, greenhouse, and location pages. I planned for evidence to be screenshots of my work and a link to the site. This was my biggest goal, but I was able to complete it in a good amount of time.
My third goal was to add captions to all of my pictures. I said my evidence would be screenshots of the site and a link to see it online. I discovered that Weebly had a function to make clicking on the pictures take the viewer to an alternate site. I used this function to credit the owners instead of adding captions to each one. I did add captions to pictures where I felt they were applicable.
My fourth goal was to finalize my website. I said that this would include some editing, possibly adding pictures, changing backgrounds, and altering page layouts if necessary. My evidence was screenshots of the side and my final published link. I found that this goal was easiest and most efficient to complete while I was doing goals two and three.

Reflection:
This was my biggest two week plan by far. I don't think I would have been able to finish the website on time if I hadn't worked on it outside of class a few times (which wasn't a very big deal because I have lots of free time in other classes). I definitely should have given myself goals in other plans to work on the website more so I wouldn't have packed a lot into these two weeks. This goal also changed the most as I made progress because while I was working, I was also learning about the actual process of building a website - which is something I had never done before. I wasn't anticipating to be working on 3 of the goals simultaneously in the last few days, but that's what ended up being the most efficient. I did not enjoy using Weebly because it did not allow for much creativity with the layout of each page. I struggled a lot with finding ways to fit the pictures without having awkward gaps. If I had more time and if I had chosen a better website builder I think I would have been able to create a little bit of a better website, but I'm still happy with what I have created.
