Blog Post Week 4 Part 2

https://www.netflix.com/title/

When choosing my websites, I went to my homepage on Chrome where it shows my most visited pages. Netflix is a popular streaming service where users and their families can stream their favorite shows and movies.  Before searching or picking up where you left off Netflix asks the user who’s account you want to access. This way parents and kids can have a different series lined up to watch or if they are watching the same show they can pick up where they exactly left off and not their family member. That simple option that makes the user right off the bat chose an account is a great feature of the website.

Similar to Toyota and Apple this website has its options going down from left to right. This is super important because users pick a category and can scroll through the options or move on to the next all on the same page. Other pages when offering various options require you to load new pages and click through a web of link. Another awesome feature that websites with a large number of videos should all have is the preview option. When a user puts a curser above a video it plays a little about what its about with out leaving the page. My only critique about the website is that sometimes I feel as if the same titles show up constantly. I think the logarithm to display titles can be adjusted a little.

 The second website I chose was Office by Outlook. I use this website a lot for work and for personal use. This goes to show the versatility of its design. Not only does it serve the regular user for its everyday needs but also professional enough to be the go-to server for many companies work services. Up until a couple years ago I was not really familiar with the website and all its features. The website is so clean and organized that it is easy to learn as you go. Even if someone is not as technology advance there are constantly reminders and tutorials posted to help you user their website. I think this is amazing touch especially for something that could get complicated.

Overall the website does a great job keeping things simple and neat. All these features are probably the reason why my company chose to use it as a communication tool. As mentioned before I also have my email with Outlook. I like that you can customize the theme of your email just like you can with your phone. It gives it a nice personal touch without straying to far from clean. The only thing I would fix about this website is that when you are accessing it through your phone sometimes the smoothness is not as well transition. I constantly have issues with selecting an email, and opening one. I don’t realize I have made the mistake until I can’t do what I was trying to accomplish. I do not have this problem with it on my computer.

CSIT 155 Week One Blog

Originally I wanted to go with something simple. I wanted to have just one solid color for my template so that there inst too much distraction. I also had to keep in mind that I needed to stand out just a little. I went with the trees and pink because I think they compliment each other nicely People get distracted fairly easy when browsing. It is important not to make things too complicated. If a site is hard to navigate or is hard on the eyes they will leave and not even bother reading what you have to say. I have worked in retail I know that little things like the colors and music matter to the shoppers. The same way you run a business it he same way you should run a blog. Lastly when your blog is being talked about it is important that it something that the viewers can remember. I named my blog after me not only because the professor asked but because it's mine. Since high school I have always used alteration in my tittles to stand out and be a bit memorable. In this case I

Week 2 Assignment

All social media is geared towards personal use. Some of them have more of a community base interaction while others are more one on one level.Twitter does a great job of this. When it comes down to business, there are some social media that are more effective.  The first one that comes to mind is Facebook.  Instagram is also famous for promotions, but the one I think people forget about is Snapchat. All of these social medias work well for both but some are more suitable than others for business. Twitter I think is the one least likely to promote anything. Twitter has so many tweets going out that some posts get lost. This is due to the fact that it is only 140 characters. Sometimes twitter is just treated like a diary to post and not really read. On the other hand we have other platforms that excel in promotion.  For example, Facebook is a great way to get your small business out there because you are able to post events and set it up like a website. Users are already on Face

On Facebook post reach is exactly what it sounds like. It is how many people saw your posts. It is important to note that even though someone might have seen your post multiple times the results of how many people have reached your posts will still be counted as a one. Post engagement is when a Facebook user actually likes, shares, or comments on your posts. It is important to know the difference because if you are running a Facebook page it is important to make sure your goal is post engagement. Post engagement plays a important role in Facebook's logarithm of what it shows its users. For example if some one likes a couple of your posts, even though they might not be following you, it might be more likely that your new posts will show up in their feed.
