This influences my project as it shows me what needs to be in my website and how interactable it should be. Also it helps decide the tone of my website if I want a Wikipedia type of website I don't need many colours all I need is text and images. If I am going for a BBC bitesize type of website I can use a variety of colours and I need to include video links and a search bar. I am also going to take the simple colours and shades from greekgodsandgoddess.net as I like how simple and easy to use that website was.              

I have used a html software brackets to code my website. I have also used a monitor mouse and keyboard to do this. I used internet explorer to find the images information and to help remember how to code certain things. I found the software we used(brackets) alright to use although I did not understand it at first once I learnt how to use it I found it easy to use. 

I need to create a folder to store all the images and other pages that i will use for this website so that I can open them all from one place. I also need to plan the layout using the template Cher gave me I will plan out what will be interactable what the different pages will look like etc. I also need to have a few videos in mind to include in my website. 

I will Experiment with different website layouts, colours and styles until I decide what I want my website to look like. 

My website will be be presented in the form of a online encyclopaedia which is set of books/notes stored online about a certain topic. Some of the most visited on the market are wikipedia.org, quora.com, deepl.com, sciencedirect.com and reverso.net. What makes Wikipedia so successful is its simple format that allows for easy access to information however one of its downside is that people anyone can put something so misinformation can be spread I will take this in to consideration when thinking about my project. 

Quora is successful because it is set up more like a social media platform where people can reply and respond also its more question based so instead of just reading out some text and not getting a full grasp on the topic you can have a conversation with someone and get a better understanding on the topic. However one downside with Quora is that it requires an account to use whereas Wikipedia is more convenient for someone who cannot be bothered to set up an account and just needs an answer quickly. Deepl is a translator website it is very useful in its application but it is not the type of websites I'm trying to create.  

My project will not require you to make an account this is to take the convenience factor from Wikipedia.

The unique selling point will be its simplicity compared to websites like Wikipedia it will contain short bits of information so that it more easily digestible but it will also carry over the simplicity of websites like greekgodsandgoddess.net. Trying to make a unique website is hard without compromising functionality you need it to be functional without meaning designs cannot be to out there as to not confuse whoever is using it.

Colour theory is how colours mix and blend creating new colours darker shades of colours. Also involves tone, tint, hue etc. It also relates to what colours represent which emotions. For example green could mean happy as well as yellow happy or deceit. Red can mean angry or romantic. Orange happiness, energy. For my website I can use different colours to convey which buttons are interactable or I can use a lack of colour to convey the serious informational tone of the website I can use shades like white and black. If I was doing specific gods characters like Apollo I can use blue and yellow to represent the character.              

There are many ways an informational website can be set out the first way is in a Wikipedia type format with a search bar that then takes you to a full page on the word or phrase that you search. Or if you have a more specific focus with your website you can have a few tabs on the starting page covering broader areas of the topic your website is about for example on my website I could have large tabs about Greek gods, Egyptian gods etc. And then the search bar could be used to look up specific gods and it would take you to their part in one of the tabs. So each tab would contain a paragraph or two about the type of gods and their history and the rest of the writing would be about each god from those category's. Examples can be seen on the left. For the text alignment i will stick with left aligned text as it is easier to read. 

Because of technical constraints create my own revision videos for the websites also I cannot include complex graphics and effects on my website. Other than that there are not many technical constraints the only other problem is I cannot do my work at home as the program we use brackets cannot be installed on the school laptops. I think I could improve on the amount of content in the website. I could also improve of the features for example (if I had time) I could of added a search bar or a bar along the top that took you to different websites.             

An old adaptation of gods would be the early stories of gods in things like the bible and other stories from around that time a new adaptation of god would be Hercules. The theme of gods doesn't have to specifically mean gods it could be like someone who is a god at something they do. Like you would someone is a god at something or in a certain industry. So this means I could make something about people who are good at what they do instead of something about gods. The history of gods related websites. An example of a new product similar to mine would be greekgodsandgoddesses.net or Theio Greek Mythology I couldn't find any old examples of gods websites if I had to think of one it would probably be a website for like a religion.    

Research is good to help with the creation of the project. Research is good to see what else is in the market and see if your product will become popular or reach its target audience. My target audience for this website is students around the age of 14-16 this is because this is around the age of students studying things like history and this website is a informational/revision website about the history of gods and what different god types it will include two large segments about god regions such as Greek gods and Egyptian gods these will include read more buttons for more information. Then it will also have god types such as primordial, celestial etc. They will be in the forms of interactable buttons when you click on them it will take you to a separate page with information about the types of gods what they mean and what they do. I can use research to gather information about gods for my websites.          

I am going to choose between Egyptian gods and Greek gods. Egyptian gods include Horus, Isis, Thoth, set, Osiris etc. Greek gods include Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Hermes etc. For Greek gods they come from Greek myths which come from stories told in the Minoan civilisation was around from 3000 to 1110 BCE. As for Egyptian gods they originated from the Early Dynastic Period 3100-2686. They come from prehistoric religious beliefs. The first Greek god was chaos seen as a gap between heaven and hell. The first Egyptian god was Atum who is a primordial. Most gods come from rumours or myths started 1000 years ago. I will have to choose between Greek and Egyptian gods. There are also different types of gods including primordial, celestial, death, cyclical and liminal deities etc. Primordial gods are the first generation of gods and are the oldest. Celestial gods are deities associated with a planet, moon or star(or any other kind of celestial object). This can be used to full the informational sections in my websites.        

My project will be a informational websites about gods from different regions and the different types of gods that exist. It will include two large information sections one about Greek gods and one about Egyptian gods it may also include small information videos that I will use from YouTube. It will also contain smaller sections about different types of gods for example primordial and these sections will have colour schemes that fit their theme.    

Copyright could prevent me from using certain images or material. There will be no copyrighted material in my website all images will be royalty free and no permission will be needed.

Legislation refers to laws which technically includes copyright but other examples of legislation could be laws set by parliament. My website will breach any legislation or laws.

Health and safety refers to the precautions took to make sure that my production does not risk the health or the lives of anyone else in this way my website does not break any health and safety rules as it is entirely online so no physical work is needed.

If I cannot get videos or images in I will try to include lots of information and other features such as a search bar and more seamless buttons only if i have enough time to.

For the first button design I went with less bold design because I couldn't do the bold design. Then I used a more bold text and I think it looks better I did this because I was figuring out how to use the brackets software. I haven't got many more screenshots of experimentation as i am finishing this section after I have finished my project but to in the iteration segment of my blog in production it shows an early design of one but of project and the finished version afterwards.  

When I finished my project I doubled checked it then I corrected any errors like making sure that every link worked and making sure everything was spelt correctly. I also worked on feedback that was given to me such as linking back to the project more and adding more detail and flow to my work. I did this by adding two or three sentences on to existing sections that link back to the project for example for colour theory I have put "If I was doing specific gods characters like Apollo I can use blue and yellow to represent the character".                      

I think what I did well while making this project was I quickly I produced the work that I needed to do as I switched projects like 3 time by the time I had decided on the project that I was doing I only had 2 weeks left so I happy with the work amount I produced in that time. I'm also happy with the amount of research I got done. I'm also happy that I learned how to use the brackets software.

I could've improved on my productivity during the project as I often got distracted and did nothing for periods of time. I could've also improved the quality of my research as I did do a lot of research but not all of it was useful and I did a lot I didn't need to do and not a lot of what I needed to do this is because I didn't use the planner as much as I should have.

The initial target audience for my product was religious people or people studying religious study's or history. I think my product would connect with people studying in fields like history or religious study's. But I don't think it would connect with religious people. This is because it contains lots of information about gods but more gods related to the Greek and Egyptian eras so religious people would be more interested in more modern gods however it would be very helpful to a history student because it talks about gods from ancient history. So although it does not connect with some of my initial target audience I think it is close enough to what I was envisioning.

My product meets the requirements of the brief as it was a media product related to the theme of gods in the form of a website. I chose my own target audience for the brief.  However where my project did not meet the brief was its completion date.

The skills I have gained is being able to use brackets I learned this by picking it to do as my project. I learned parts of brackets by  googling how to do the things I wanted to and then using the code to do it. the skills I need to develop are skills in photography, animation, video editing etc.
