TASK 10: WORKING ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE WEBSITE

Today I was working on the last page of the website which was the contact page. This page was a crucial part of the website as it allows people visiting the website to ask questions if they have any doubts. First, I brainstormed the contact details that I was going to include on the page and came to a conclusion that I will be including: phone number of the receptionist of the hospital, my email ID, the two doctor's email ID and the address of the hospital. Then I went on the website and did not realize the challenge I was going to face. Since, I had never used this website before, I realized that I had not clue, how to insert the contact us page. In weebly, there was an option that allowed us to create a contact page on its own. A format and a empty areas will be given. But I did not know how to do all that in using this website. But why fear when the help website is here. So, I went to their help website and posted my question. Within hours it was answered and I realized it was pretty easy to do. I followed their instructions and got exactly what I wanted. I really don't think I would have gotten this far, so smoothly without the help website. I really thank them because they are very efficient and answer the questions which one will clearly understand. I also learnt something today. I learnt that if I look closer, I will find what I am looking for because when I realized that what I was looking for was staring at me, I felt like a fool. I wished that I had looked closer before asking for help. This would have saved a lot of time. But since this is a learning experience, I am happy that I made this mistake and learnt my lesson. When I was finished with the making of the contact us page, all I had to do now, was to insert a picture of the map showing where the hospital is located. I quickly did this and was done with the today's task. I think this is the second easiest task that I had done during the website making process. The first was making the different pages of the website. I finished today's task in around 1 and half hours. But then I had around 2 and half hours spare time according to my planning. This is because, I had allotted 4 hours for this task. The next task which was load the video was allotted 2 hours. This meant that I can easily finish tomorrow's task and then brush all the burden off my shoulders. I uploaded the video that I had made on the home page. This was very easy because there was a clear option on the task tab. I uploaded the video and fortunately my internet was fast, The video uploaded quickly and I WAS DONE WITH THE WEBSITE! I am very relieved that I am done with the making of my website, the video and the whole create stage. I feel very proud and happy. I feel I worked very efficiently and enjoyed every single task even though there were many ups and downs. I took the obstacles that I faced as a learning opportunity. I learnt many things and am very content because everything worked out on my favor and has actually crossed my expectations. I hope to have such a wonderful journey next time too. Here are screenshots of the work that I did today and the final website.

                   DAY 8 and DAY 9 combined: WORK ON THE 6th AND THE 7th PAGE

Today I was very motivated and happy to do my work because of some unknown reason. The 8th and the 9th page was about the corneal transplants that are done at the center. I allotted 2 pages for it because I consider it as very important. It is one of the most important activities done by the center. I did this also for the fact that an international (German) organization is involved in these activities. Since, I was quite free and very energetic today, I decided to challenge myself finish doing both the pages today. I very well knew that I would have to work very hard, in order to achieve this goal, but I knew that I am going to do. And to my surprise, I did it! I am very very proud of myself and feel very satisfied with the work I have done. I also created a free day for myself which means I am finishing my work a day before, I am supposed. I am very happy that everything is going on very smoothly and the way I had expected. Everything is falling into place the way it should. Making these 2 pages of the website was pretty easy because I knew quite a lot about the organization. This is because I have attended quite a few activities conducted by them as community and service and I have talked to the German who represents Kenya, in the organization. In this page, I was aiming to include: what this is about, how it is done and some more general information. I knew some of the general information although, I did need my parents assistance. They also have a website where some information is given about what they do, why they do it and their main aim. I also referred to that website to get some of the information. So, the sources that I used to get information for the 6th and the 7th page is the cornea help website, interview with my parents and the knowledge that I had. This task was very easy because I did not face any challenges and everything went on smoothly. First, I combined all the information and put in on a word document just like I had done during the first task of create stage. Then I collected some new pictures because I had found some nice pictures that I did not have on the website of cornea help. Then all I had to do was copy paste the information onto the website and arrange it the way I wanted. Then I transferred the pictures onto the website and voila! Page 6 and page 7 were ready the way I wanted it to be! I also very happy about the fact that tomorrow, I will be working on the last page of the website and this will be the contact us page which will be very easy to make. Here is screenshot that shows the work that I have done today! I am also proud and happy about the fact that I was able to complete the dare that I had given myself!

                             DAY 7: I will work on fifth page of the website

Today's task was to work on the fourth page of the website which the service activity which is the weekly outreach activity conducted by the team of hospital. I am very proud today because if I complete this page, I will be more than half way done with the website. I am very happy that create stage will be coming to an end very soon! Today's task was actually not as easy as it sounds and as the other tasks. It was quite a difficult job because I was not very familiar with the way the weekly service activity works. I knew a little about it and the main purpose of this activity. In the research document, I had only written some brief facts because that was all I needed for the video. But I had someone neglected the fact that I would require more information when I making the website. So, first I wrote down the information that I knew and was sure about. Then when my parents returned form work,  I asked them a little about the service activity. Initially, I thought that they might not know much about because I had assumed that it was part of the Lions Club not the medical club. Lions club is different from the medical club because the lions club is a different part on its own and has very little to do with the hospital. They also do most of the service activities which is what made me assume that the the outreach activity was part of the Lions club. But then I was wrong because the outreach activity is conducted by the medical staff who are part of the medical club. This was something new that I learned today! So when my parents returned home, I asked them a little about the outreach activities and then explained everything to me. Then it was my job to put them into nice and appealing words and explain the same things on the website. I learnt a lot more about the out reach activity and why they do it. I also realized that this is really a non profitable organization because they do so much for the society and a lot of community and service. I also have made up my mind that I will try my best to attend at least one of them each month. I wrote everything the way and I wanted and I am very happy and proud to say that the this page has reached my expectations and is exactly the way I wanted it to be! I am very happy and satisfied with the work I did today. Here is a screenshot of the work I did today (the fourth page of the website). I also happy about the fact that I am officially more than half way through the website making process which is what motivated me today and will continue to do so until I finish the whole of create stage until I proudly hand it in. 

                                 DAY 6: I will work on the fourth page 

Today I worked on the fourth page of the website which includes which talks about the different sections present in the hospital. The Lions Eye Center is not a small hospital. It is quite big and is divided into different sections. It was supposed to contain drawn picture of the different sections. But instead I have tried to modify it a little. I will first check if the drawing looks good and suitable. If it does then I will insert it onto the page. But if it does not look good, I would not insert it. So, first I mentioned the different sections like the private section, the charitable section, the optical shop etc and talked a little about what those sections have to provide and just some basic information. It was not difficult because, I only talked about the major sections which were around 4 or 5 of them and then briefly described them. My worked looked very neat today because I had mentioned the different sections in different text boxes and outline each box with black. It looked as though I had allotted a box for each of them sections and made it look very neat and professional. The color contrast also had a lot of effect on the final look. The background was as you know yellow and the the color of the outline was black which made the information and the box stand out. The colors that I used were also mainly neutral making it look simple yet just the way I wanted. Writing the information about each section was easy because I know almost everything about the hospital, as I have visited it many times before. I also had my parents who would be always ready to give me assistance. So with the help of my own knowledge, my parents knowledge and the information that I had collected, I was able to write about a paragraph about each of the sections. This term, I am very grateful that I did not have to struggle even a little or go out of my way to get information. After I was done writing paragraphs about the various sections about the hospital, it was time for some drawing. So, I opened paint and tried drawing the different sections from an Areal view. I drew it successfully and like it quite a lot. But did I put it as part of the page? NO, I did not because I forgot about the fact that the hospital also has many floors. This would be a difficult thing to draw and put it as part of my page. I would have to have done multiple drawings which would have lead to me not following one of the specifications which is that the website should not have many pictures. This is all I did during today's task and I enjoyed a lot. I did not really ask for my parent's help today and was able to do most of the things by myself because I very well knew the sections of the hospital. Here is a screenshot of the work that I did today: 

                               DAY 5: Working on the third page of the website

Today I worked on the third page of the website which talks about the two main ophthalmologists working there as doctors. The two doctors are Dr. Sandhya Gokhale and Dr. Vishwanatha Gokhale. The page mainly included brief but detailed information about the two doctors. One of the main things that I had to include about the doctors is their qualifications. This is important in my opinion because when clients visit the website, they should know how qualified and professional the doctors are and therefore, it makes it easy for the patients to trust them and know that they will provide the best service. Today's task was very easy because, both the doctors are my parents and all I had to do was interview them and get all the information. Actually, I already had the information in brief points because during the first task, all I had to do was to get information which will guide me throughout the whole create stage. But since the information were in brief points, I still had to collect some more information which I did through an interview with my parents It was a pretty easy task because all the different sources of information were just at my hand. The document with the brief information was in my computer. Since I needed more information, I interviewed my parents. I really did not have to go out of my way to collect information and to complete this task. Therefore, the task was very very easy. I copy pasted most of the information from the interview and the document with the information. However, I did have to make a few modifications here and there. I did not face any challenges and I don't think I will come across and difficult situation or an obstacle because I have all the information and am now very familiar with how the website works and what is necessary for me to do in every task. This is what I did today and I enjoyed a lot because I got an very good opportunity to talk to my parents about their stage of education and many things other than that, because since they were my parents, I was very free and open with them and discussed many other fun things. I am very happy that I got a good opportunity to have a very healthy discussion and interact with my parents. It was fun! Here is a screenshot of what I did today:

                                      DAY 4: Work on the second page of the website 

today I worked on making the second page of the website and had a lot of fun!  It had to give some general information about the hospital to educate the reader. The page also contained a picture of two. One major advantage was that I had both all the information and the pictures ready in a document and all I had to do was to take the information from the word document and paste it on the website. I had summarized the general information on the document so during today's task, I had to elaborate more and write a more detailed paragraph on the website. So, it did not take a very long time for me to do so! I quickly copy pasted the summary from the word document onto the website and then I explained it well on the website. Today I realized that doing that first task which was collecting all the information and collecting everything that is necessary is a very very crucial part which eases and reduces steps while doing the next step. I am very grateful that these two were the first two steps of the creation of both video and website making. Elaborating more on the information was not very difficult. However, I did take some assistance form my parents who helped make my language and my grammar more professional and suitable to the main aim of the website. They helped me make the information more appealing to the people by using a lot of persuasive language! I did what I was supposed to do in around 4 hours and then the next step was to  insert two images. In the design, it is not specific as to which image had to be put on the second page. This meant that I had to think carefully about which and the number of pictures that I would put on that page. After a long time of debating with myself, I came to a conclusion. I quickly inserted the two images and I was done with today's task. I also spent less time than I had assigned for the task. I had assigned 6 hours for this task and I managed to finish it within around 4 and half to five hours. The second page of the website was done and it was looking fantastic. It was exactly the way I wanted it to be and did reach higher than my expectations! It looked very professional and suitable to the topic. It also looked attractive even though there was a single color only.  I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot! Here is a screenshot of the second page that I have made today:

                        DAY 3: make the first page of the website/ making the home page

Today was one of the most exciting tasks that I have ever done. Since last year's experience, I have loved making home pages. The experience that I am taking about occurred last to last year when we had to create a websites.  I had made my website using weebly and I highly regretted my decision. The website generator had prevented me from doing so many things that would have highly benefited me. My home page was the worst because it looked very ugly and not at all attractive. But I can assure someone that all the information in my website was very interesting and unique. But since first impression is the last impression, many people did not even want to read my website because the home page was not attractive. This really hurt me and form that time, I have been paying more attention to the appearance of the home page than the quality of the information in the website, However, I also feel that information is also equally important and crucial. So during today's task, I made the home page beautiful but modest at the same time! The title for this page was not attractive and special because the title was the name of the hospital. The background color was already there in the design and it was yellow. I feel the background was perfect because it completely matches with the hospital logo. A plain and a simple background also gives it a professional look. I put two pictures which were a picture of the hospital from outside and a picture of the entrance of the hospital. Since I had the pictures, I just had to insert them and then I was done. The was pretty easy even though I did not know how to insert the pictures initially. But the directions were very easy to follow and I saw this pictures bar on one of the areas and immediately knew that I was supposed to click on that. I inserted the two pictures and I was done. I did not face any challenges and thoroughly enjoyed myself! This was very simple and my homepage also looks very attractive and professional without much of hard work. I think a homepage should either one of professional or colorful and attractive. Or else it will not be a good home page. Last year, the problem was that my homepage was neither of them which was the reason why it looked very bad! This one bends more on the professional look side than the colorful and the attractive. And I think it is being on the perfect side because this is a website for advertising a hospital. If it was for advertising an event coming up or advertising a kid's club, then it should bend more of the attractive and colorful side! Ah! But wait what about the video that I was also supposed to insert on the home page according to the design. I have decided not to do that right now and will do it on the extra day that has been given for any pending work left. I want to insert in the end so that I can admire everything at once when it is completely done! Here is a screenshot of the work I did today! It was a good experience as I got to create an amazing home page for the first time!! The screenshot:
