Despite being a computer enthusiast, and a tech fanatic for numerous years, creating a website was not something I had ever done, till my encounter with Wix. Creating an account was nearly seamless, with just my email address, and I had the option to create a website from scratch, or modify an already-existing template.

The Wix website had a plethora of sample templates, as seen above, but because the type of website I was interested in was an E-commerce website, I had to tailor my search accordingly. 

As already stated in my website initial ideas, in a previous blog post, I intend on establishing a site for musicians of all skillsets, and interests. Making my website stand out more meant that I had to inspect and look out for the lapses or weaknesses in several notable music e-commerce websites, and try to rectify them. Some of the sites I visited to compare their home and product pages are Reverb and Sweetwater.

I was finally prepared to commence the next phase, which was selecting a template. After going through several templates I decided to select a tech e-commerce website.

I chose this template because of its active visuals and responsive icons and thumbnails. A huge part of my website should not only be its functionality, but its aesthetic appeal and UX design. In  feat to achieve this, I had to ensure that the page not only looks good on the web / desktop view (like several websites) but is also compatible across devices, particularly mobile phones.

Being satisfied with this mobile view, I began customizing this template, creating a name, color palate, font style & size, among others.

Having completed all these, I went ahead, and concluded the initial steps by saving my website.

Storyset (2020) My E-Commerce website will be selling Musical Instruments and materials, including courses, and books.  The business model for my E-Commerce website is both  B2C and B2B. This is because I will offer sale not only to individual instrumentalists, musicians or music enthusiasts, but also to organizations such as churches, schools, theatres, concert halls and many more. These would make up my target market. The business name for my E-Commerce website is  Clef Musicals .  My tagline / slogan is :  "...w here sound meets soul".

These will be the points I will work on, and incorporate into my webs

The more visibility a website has on search engines, the more likely it is that brand captures business."  LaFleur, G. (2022) He also goes further to state that "website visibility is commonly measured by the placement -- or ranking -- of the site on search engine results pages (SERPs). And companies always vie for the first page, where they are most likely to garner the most attention."  LaFleur, G. (2022) LaFleur explains that "search engines use bots to crawl all website pages, downloading and storing that information into a collection known as an index. This index is like a library and when someone searches for something in it, the search engine a
