I used weebly.com to create my website. First I had to decide what kind of website I wanted (business or personal). Since I was making a website for my current classroom I decided to make a business website. I then selected the theme I wanted to base my site off of. Once I decided that it was time to start building my website.
In starting my website I had to decide what the different pages I wanted was. I knew I wanted a page that introduced me along with a page that gave helpful information for parents to use if they wanted to help their child at home. I also decided it was important to have information as to what my classroom expectations were and what dates would be important for parents to know. These were all created under the pages tab of the weebly website.
After creating the pages I wanted I started building each page. If I wanted spaces between things I used either a divider or a spacer. I appreciated the option to create a map space for ease of parents ability to see exactly where the school was via a map. The button option created a great opportunity for me to be able to add external links for parents. Being able to add links to images was also something I enjoyed using because it allowed me to better show what the website would look like for resources parents could use.
