Good vs. Bad Website

                         What platform should I use to build my own website? - The Arts Development Company

    
    In the Livebinder assignment, I was able to get a good grasp on what makes websites good or bad. There are multiple different reasons for a website to be good. A good website must have 4 fundamental principles. These include purpose, aesthetically pleasing, relevance, solid content, and clear navigation. All good websites should also have a good design (visual & technical), good tools, and Google Analytics.

    I decided to cover local businesses' websites. I based it on two local restaurants, No Reservations and Freddy J's. Freddy J's has a good website. The website is aesthetically pleasing with different images and relevant colors for the brand. The tabs on the site are also very well organized, I find it very easy to use the website to find the information I need. On the opposing side, No Reservations could use an upgrade on their website. The website is simple but lacks solid content and navigation.

    I like how you connected it back to the fundamentals behind a good website rather than just giving a summary of what you presented. I also like that for your presentation you navigated us through the sight rather than just making it a power point. I definitely see where no reservations takes the cake on their website design, and thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely be trying!

Next, the book talks about relationships coming first. Throughout this book, we have learned how vital relationships are! This chapter emphasizes the fact that relationships need to be maintained in order to be successful. An important aspect of professional relationships is establishing trust. "Trust, empathy, and reciprocity bond members together in any community or social setting." (Hall and Nussbaum-Beach, p.60).

Chapter 6 Summary

  Networking is about you as a person and how you can take your network to add success to your career. The larger your network, the stronger connections you have in the community of your future career. A personal learning network “...involves an individual's topic-oriented goal, a set of practices or techniques aimed at attracting or organizing a variety of relevant content sources, which are selected for their value, to help the owner accomplish a professional goal or personal interest" (pg. 92).
