Project #3
What's the name of your Narrative?
Post your narrative at the top of the page, where the viewer can begin to read it without needing to scroll to fin the text. Also, make sure your page includes your advertisements as artwork.
If you are using a video or audio file for your narrative, embed the player on the page. Sound Cloud and You Tube videos are easily played on Wix. Go to the add section on the left and you will find players for audio and video.
Remember that when you are working with text-based modes, like short stories or poems, do not get fancy with the fonts. Your narrative will not be successful if no one can read it. Text based modes are usually published using either Times New Roman font or Helvetica font. The same can be said about the colors on the page. For text-based modes, use black text on a white background.

In the prompt, it asks you to build a page for the narrative you have crafted. Consider what is the purpose and genre conventions of a website. A website is designed so viewers will not only go there but so viewers will stay there. Consider how a website like Netflix is designed. When a subscriber goes to the site, they are given many options for exploration: links to click on, descriptions of films, categories of movies, and all accessible from the main page: all a reader has to do is scroll. Many viewers will comment that the best part of Netflix is looking for the movie or series to watch. And once you decide to watch something, as soon as it is over, the website offers another film to watch, or the next episode of the series is already ready to play in 5, 4, 3, 2, go. The designers of this website never give its viewer a reason to ever leave.
A website is like a house. You are building a house and you are inviting your friends over. Anyone who has thrown a party knows that as soon as a guest becomes bored, they will leave. A good host makes sure to have plenty of refreshments, entertainment, and seating for their guests. Give your viewer things to look at, to click on (without taking them away from your site), things to read, things to watch. Create a house they never want to leave.
