Reflection on my Tourism Website - Rio de Janeiro
1. In this assignment, I had to make a tourism website that would convince people to go on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. This website also had to help those same people if they decided to vacation there. This website had to include activities in the area, events, housing, hotels, car rentals, flight information, and general information on the destination.
2. To complete this assignment, I had to be able to embed video on my website. I also had to create on my own animation, which I did on xtranormal.com, to enhance the quality of my website. Along with these new skills, I also had to use various elements on Weebly which included pictures and citing sources.
3. My creating this piece of work, I learned new skills when it comes to designing web pages like embedding video and making animations. I also learned some of the essentials necessary to make a persuasive website, more specifically a website to persuade people to visit a certain location, like Rio de Janeiro! I was able to make an informative website promoting the city of Rio.
4. In this assignment I included lots of pictures and information. The large amount of pictures I provided enhanced the visual effect of my website which is important in making a website appealing to an audience. The vast amount of information I provided would also give anyone looking to visit Rio de Janeiro enough information to plan out a trip to the city.
5. If I could do something differently, I would add even more visuals to my website. Visuals are very important in making websites attractive and are extremely important to this project as I am promoting tourism to a certain location. Also, I would provide a few more specifics on certain places, but it is tough because Rio is such a large city with lots of things to do.
