I begin to turn my thoughts to our next step in this journey, creating a website. I start as every good librarian does with doing my research. I have spent a few days checking out various tools that allow you to build a website, free of charge. To my surprise, there were many out there! I narrowed my focus on two: weebly and google.
After only a short while, I began to notice how weebly was more user friendly than the others. I was SOLD!! I feel like weebly is going to give me a number of choices and options to allow me to personalize the site I am creating. While in the developing stage of my new project, I did search around the web for some inspiration! I found several sites that peaked my interest ~
The first one, I am sharing because it was warm, welcoming and inviting all on one page! That says a lot! Not to mention, she used a Shel Silverstein poem on the home page. Can we just say, she had me at Welcome? Check out the site here: http://librarywoodwardhill.weebly.com/ Another site, I liked because the librarian of this site has an incredible sense of "library" humor and the site offers a lot of valuable information. Head on over to http://rhsvtlibrary.weebly.com/S to check it out!
So, what have a learned from all this research? I know I will be using weebly to create the site. I want the website to be warm and inviting, but I also want it to be fun too! Stay tuned here for updates on my latest adventure!
The second site definitely had me laughing! I liked the charcoal background. It had a blog feel to the home page.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I loved the memes on that second site! Too cool.
