EQ: Why go online with your Business?

Directions:

Log into Weebly using your student number as your password and username.  You will be asked for a title.  Just type in weebly logoyour business name.  You will be placed on your company's home page with only a skeleton design.  Your challenge is to make it into a realistic business web page for your company.  You must have the following on the page:

Next, what kinds of elements should be placed on a company home page?

  • Company Name  with Design/Logo
  • "We are..." or "Our company..." statement that include one or more sentences about your company (maybe start off with welcome, we at Fashion Spot specialize in... or... Who we are... or Why we are better... or What if...
  • Slogan/Motto  .... "Building a Tradition of Excellence"  .... see examples: company slogans
  • Street Address

  • City, State and Zip

    • Note:  The street Address, City, State, and Zip should be found together on the page and be properly Capitalized and punctuated.

    Example:    1562 Main Street
                     San Diego, CA  90210

  • Phone Number
  • Owners Name with your title:  Ex:  Roderick Hames, Owner (This can be placed in the bottom of the slide with a very small font - just large enough I can read so I can credit your grade for your work)
  • (Optional) You may include some product sample graphics you sale.

Most all the information you provide is made up with the exception of the City and State.

  • Visit some of your competitor's websites to see what they have put on their site.

Questions to ask yourself... Did you use a unique Font?  Did you leave some white space on the page?  Did you use too many colors?  Just how realistic does your home page look?

Alternate way of designing it using PowerPoint:

Open Microsoft PowerPoint and begin designing your company home page. 

First Step:

  1. Open PowerPoint

  2. Design the first slide then go to SAVE-AS and change the type to JPG.  This will create a picture of the slide that can then be inserted on your weebly site as a picture.
