Wix VS Weebly

This week in my Communication Technology class we learned how to build websites. We created two different websites using both Wix and Weebly formats. These are just two of the many website building options that are available on the internet. We will be taking an in depth look at each of these website builders.

 The first website builder we are going to be exploring is Wix. I personal thought that Wix has useful and sleek design layouts and is not very difficult to use. Most people can figure out how to do almost everything on Wix with a little trouble shooting and for those who can't there are plenty of online resources to help you figure it out.

The following video shows some useful information about Wix website builder and how to use it.

Weebly is the second website builder that we were taught in class. Weebly is capable of making very profestional websites and I was very satisfied with the overall product.

Podcast & Audacity

 

In addition to learning about how to create a website, we have also learned a great deal about creating Podcast through Audacity. Audacity is a great program if you are working with any kind of noises. It is very user friendly and not hard understand how to do the basic functions of the program.

One of the coolest things about Audacity is that it is free. The following video shows you how to download the program and gives a brief tutorial about how to use it.
