Pressfoto (2019) Alt tags refer to the words "that can be inserted as an attribute in an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) document to tell Website viewers the nature or contents of an image." ( TechTarget, 2012)  These words or texts "appears in a blank box that would normally contain the image. Alt text is useful when an image link is not available because of a broken or changed URL or some other issue."

  Rawpixel (2018) Creating a contact form was, for me, as crucial as any other part of the website creation process. While every goods or service-based website should provide services professionally, there are always bound to be complaints, enquiries, and customer feedback. Creating a platform where customers feel heard is the purpose I believe the contact form serves. My template had an already-generated contact form in place. It boosted my efficiency, because I just had to make some design corrections, then tweak and add more information to the form where necessary. The image above is the finished contact form on my e-commerce website. I included the map at the bottom of the page to enable the customer quickly locate the business by glancing through the map. I had the initial idea to create two compulsory fields for "First name" and "Surname". However knowing that most customers would prefer the focus being on their enquiries or complains, I made no field compulso...

Rawpixel (2021) Creating an 'About Us' page for the first time involved some research into the about pages of similar websites. I used the Sweetwater and Reverb websites as case studies.  Sweetwater Sweetwater (2023) I found the About Us page in Sweetwater website fairly informative. I was impressed with the mild colour scheme palette used, and the aesthetically pleasing look of the images they used too. Sweetwater (2023) The page also contained information on the mission, history and members of the organization as a whole. Reverb Reverb (2023) The Reverb About us page also contained information about the organization, missions, history, and prospects.  Reverb (2023) While not unappealing, the page without a picture of staff, or a description of the organization did not strike positively with me. I believe that the presence of pictures on the about page not only subtly encourages the reader to keep reading, but also creates an overall improved aesthetic view of the webpage. Re...

Creativeart (2016) 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.  Wix (2023) Wix (2023) 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 . Reverb (2023) Swee...

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.

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 wor...
