Website Investigation & Design

Fashion Magazine website investigation

USING WIX

I have used Wix before it was updated and seeing that they are offering such a diverse range of templates really helped me in choosing the right layout and format of a fashion magazine website.

I choose to go to the Fashion and beauty templates.

Most of the templates were aimed at beauty-makeup and fashion blogs or online fashion stores. 

I choose the template: Small Brand.

Then I looked at the template and I liked the way it was laid out so I clicked "Edit this site".

The tools available to change and personalize the site were very accessible. 

I have looked into the tools available and I tried to give my site a personal touch.

I looked at all the tools and used most of them just to get used to WIX, for when I will do my actual site for my fashion magazine. 

It took me 15-20 min to create the home page as you can see above. 

 I had to change the title and add social media links as well as change the content.

 The gallery at the top was a nice option, I saw many websites of fashion magazines having a slider gallery so I added one myself. I used the photographs available from WIX for this.

I went into a simpler version of my initial idea, I wanted to create a flexible slider to show the main picture of the articles that are part of the (TOP STORIES) but WIX did not have that option so I kept thing simple. 

Furthermore, the post in the middle is part of the top stories which was inspired from the Vogue website.  I had to delete the video that came with the template and replace it with a Versace Fashion show on YouTube. 

It was harder than I expected but it was a nice challenge. 

 ***However, this is the first time I am trying Wix since updated, and this is just an investigation. I will not use this as my final website.***
