Good & Bad Websites

     My two examples of good and bad websites are tripadvisor and paradisewithaview. Tripadvisor is a good website while paradisewithaview is a bad website. Tripadvisor is an online service that provides recommendations for hotels, resorts, inns, vacations, travel packages, travel guides, and many more. Tripadvisor also lets you book online. Paradisewithaview is a bad website that also allows online booking. Both these websites are online-booking websites for vacations.

                                        

     Tripadvisor is an online-booking website that has all the characteristics it needs in order for it to be a great website. It is easy to use and has a card-based design. On the other hand, paradisewithaview doesn't have any characteristics it needs in order for it to also be a great website. The colorful design on the website makes it a bad website. "Not secure" which is written on the website also makes that a bad website.
                               
                                     

     The reason why I chose tripadvisor and paradisewithaview as my good and bad websites is because my family often uses online-booking websites to book resorts/houses for vacations. I know tripadvisor is a good website because my family and I have used it before therefore we trust that website. This project taught me few things that I should keep in mind while using online-booking websites.

Social Media Tools

     The two social media tools that I have not utilized in the past are BrandMyMail and Canva. These are two of the many social media tools that I might be able to utilize in the future.

             

     BrandMyMail is the easiest way to create an email template. It automatically creates a Gmail signature and adds it to all your emails. It allows you to edit the signature using the rich text editor on the tool itself. The caption "Beyond Signatures" of this tool caught my eye. I can utilize this tool in the future for my future profession. I would utilize it to make my emails look professional. This tool will not only create a Gmail signature but it will also make the emails look professional.

    

     

     Canva is one of the easiest ways to create designs. It lets you create designs for web or print. You can create designs for blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and many more. There is a quote on this tool's page which caught my eye. The quote is "Canva enables anyone to become a designer." I can utilize this tool in the future. I would be able to utilize it to create designs for anything I want as a student or in my future profession.
