Website portfolio: book project.

 Today we were uploading our chapbooks to the wix website. My chapbook has been made in canva.

To create a sub page with my book project I went to left hand side menu in wix, clicked on site pages and menu and on "add page" button. The page has been added to my website, then I dragged it down in the menu to attach it under my portfolio, changed the name of the sub page to my project title. 


Then I went to the created sub page and added a heading at the top, changed it to the book title, next I have clicked on left side menu to add a button. I change it to say back to portfolio and moved around to the left side bottom corner of the page. Button got linked to my portfolio page by clicking left button of the mouse on the button and choosing link icon (chain).


Next I went back to the portfolio page and added a picture of my book (snip took from canva) and then in the left hand side menu I clicked on "add" then "button" and I added a button that later was linked to my project page, button was named with my book title. Bothe elements got moved to the right side of my portfolio page. 






Then I have changed the main pictures by other two projects to something more suitable. And made sure that all buttons are working correctly by going to preview and clicking on each button. 

When I made sure every button is working correctly I went to embed my project to the book project page. To do that I went to canva, clicked on share button in right top corner, clicked on "more", chose "embed" option, in the dialog box opened I have chose the HTML code and clicked "copy". Then I went back to wix , in to left hand menu I chose "add elements", then "embed code", "embed HTML" and waited couple of seconds for my project to appear on the site. Next I changed the size, made sure everything nicely composed on the page and that it is placed similarly to my previous project. 



Below you can see the preview of my project page.



Next I have checked the mobile view for all my pages and made sure it's composed nicely and that all buttons are visible and work properly. All elements were moved around to be in the correct order, I checked the preview if all buttons are linked correctly and then added a "back to top" button from the left hand menu and made sure it is linked properly.

 





Next step was adding an introduction to my chapbook project. To do that I added a paragraph from left hand side menu, made sure that letters are set to the same font as on the other pages, that is Arial, size 30. Then I started writing the introduction. 



Then I have changed the picture accompanying my first term project, as I wasn't happy with the one I have chosen. To do this I took a snip of the cover and replaced the picture used previously. I also decided to change the colours of the buttons on every page on my website to make it look better and match with overall colour scheme. When everything was completed I saved the changes and republished the website.
