  Hey girls! I hope you liked Mondays post about website planforms! You might have remembered I said Wix was the best so I decided to make a post about that.  Before I walk you through this tutorial here are some links to some sites I have designed on Wix. The Creative Bold , Whiteness , Friends Magazine (Click on the blue text to see the site). Making websites on Wix is fun. Let's go! 1) Get Inspiration  What is your website going to be about? (Check out this post for ideas). Search for a website template under that topic.  Example: You want a DIY-Galore website You search happy, DIY website template into Pinterest. Here are the ones you like: *Remember, you can't copy someone else's design, but you can use it to get ideas. Once you put all the ideas together that you like, you might see a certain style you like. Using this create your brand. (Find out how to do this in this post).  2) Create a Wix account In this post, I went through platforms for websites and said W

Maybe you are into all things tech. You might have been wondering what website software you should use. Well, today I am going to be giving you my hones review of three website platforms I have used. The three I will be covering are Wix, Canva, and Blogger. Let's get started! 1) WIX First of all, Wix is for you if you want a drag and drop website design. A thing I LOVE about Wix is how easy it is to design a site on it. It makes having forms, community, a shop, and a blog SO easy. Wix is also free (it has a paid option). The free version allows you to send emails, have a blog, have a community, have a shop, and lots of other cool things. Here is a link to a website I designed for my sister on Wix .  Wix free version pros: - Easy to use - Easy to design - Easy to post - Free - Has free stock images

  So. The last post about online "Stuff" was SO fun. (If you didn't see it you can check it out here ). You guys enjoyed it SO much I got requests to do more posts like that one! Well, this is what I LOVE to do, so here you go! In this post, we are going to create a brand kit. You can use this for your blog/website/biz. Before we create our brand kit, lets go through the WOW model. Jaquie Naunton from White Deer Graphic Design made this, and I think its helpful.  This model is supposed to help you with your design. White Deer has a video about this so I recommend watching that before you read this. Here is the link.  Now you might be wondering. WHAT is a brand kit? My simple answer is something for your biz that includes fonts, images, graphics, colors logos, voice. Canva has a GREAT tool for creating your brand kit. (learn more about Canva in this post). Their brand kits help you organize your brand stuff so you can easily access it.  The next question you might ask

Hey Girls! I hope you are having a GREAT day (also happy Valentines Day)! Well, I hope you are exited for today's post because today were talking about websites and blogs and videos and that kind of stuff! Today I will just be sharing the basics, but if you want more posts like this, share that in the comments. Now, let's start . . . starting . . whatever this is? 1. Choose what you blog/website is going to be about This is an important first step. Try to find soothing about yourself that is original (if possible).

That's okay! You can make yours unique in your branding or the name! 2. Choose a name for your blog/website Okay. So let's go back to the first step. Remember the ideas? (Stop motion anybody?) Say your name is . . Emma (hope I am not spooking you out if your name is E
