I have been looking at a lot of different webpage creation sites. I have recently completed some extensive reading on how people design their pages, so there is a lot flowing through my head at the current time. I wanted to share some sites:
I want to make a few comments about my thoughts on the different pages.
- What do you see as the strengths of each program so far?
- I think that wikispaces offers the most in terms of potential classroom use by students by means of collaboration, but I think that Weebly is a great interface for teachers to share things out to the general school population. It offers a very easy plug and play interface for the beginning user as well.
- How do they differ in the way you add and edit content?
- Wikispaces allows users to add near limitless content through the use of widgets and simple formatting tools. Weebly had icons that you simply drop into place and then plug in the content that you are interesting in sharing. Google Pages allow a user to use a lot of the google doc tools to enhance a site, and one can also add a lot of content by simply typing or pasting it in. There are many limitations when it comes to designing a creative appearance though.
- Do you have a preference for one over the other? Why?
- I am most comfortable with wikispaces, but that is due to the fact that I have been using it for several years. I think that I might explore weebly in more depth because I've heard of friends who have had great experience with it, and I feel its design is more modern.
