Website Updates and Evaluation
Planning stage:
What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style / name / template
Who are your potential website users?
My potential users for my website is generation Z. The reason is because the designs that I created and the target markets that I targeted is for the gen Z. Moreover, also it's for women because the designs that I made were dresses or gown that to show and boost the feminine side of women.
Why do you think it is important to have a digital portfolio website?
It's essential to have a digital portfolio, especially for the present generation, because of the technology they use this day, and they work all digitally. Also, the digital portfolio will also be needed for the CV, which will help apply for work online. Moreover, the digital portfolio is more efficient because we can access it everywhere, including phones, computers, tablets, and more.
Design:
Which design elements / tools did you use? (e.g.: infographics, fixed header, static background image, navigation menu design, text boxes, image galleries, social media feed) and why?
The design elements that I used on my website is the header and footer. The header will show my name consistently, even though the viewer change to the other page, the header will stay on the top of the page, also it's same with the footer. Then, the navigation bar, that helps the viewer to find the other information on the other page and the navigation bar will stay still on the top or on the header of the page. Next, I used button to interlink the one page to the other pages. Then, I put copyright on the bottom of the page to ensure that the website is belong to me. After that, the social media icons that link to the social medias that I have. Moreover, I added the contact page with the contact section element to give the viewer chance to tell their opinion through my website.

What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style / name / template
I made this website for my portfolio as fashion designer for my digital art class. I wanted to share the design of dresses that I created, which is the collection of the designs that inspired by 'The Empress' one of tarot cards that it is in major arcana. After that, the template that I chose is minimalistic template which has white colour of the background and not many elements for the website, it's simple and quite black & white style. Moreover, the name that I chose is 'Fashion Design' this to tell a direct what I am doing in this website.
Do you have a tagline on your website?
No, I don't have any tagline in my website.
Research:
Which designers / artists (relevant to your continuation route) websites did you look for inspiration?
Sophia Tolli, she made a good website. Even though, she is using simple and not many elements on her website, but the information what she wants to tell to the viewer is detailed and easy to find. She made the website looking nice and the detail information what the viewer need is there.
How many pages did you want to make on your website and why? Did that change as you progressed onto the research / designing stage?
I made four pages as the main pages for my website; however, on my 'Portfolio' page, the sub-pages will separate the main pages from the other pages to make it tidier and more accessible for the viewer to look at the information I want to tell. It changed just a bit because for the sub-page to make it easier, we need to put a button to make one-page interlink to another page, which is the sub-page. However, overall, it does not change anything for the main pages. When you click on the navigation bar, especially the 'Portfolio' page, the sub-page will be below the 'Portfolio' text.

The purpose of my website is to share my works or designs for my final project in digital art class for my portfolio. The fashion designs that I created will help me to proof my evidence my potential in designing clothes.
