WIX.COM

At first I found Wix pretty interesting because it had a lot of funa dn easy options, It seemed easy to understand and interesting. It included alot of templates for different categories for example, Photography, Fashion, Profiles and etc...

This is the home screen of WIX. You click on LogIn/Sign Up and here you shall get started. Wix allows you tu share any type of media, from YouTube, Pictures, Animations etc. It is easy to follow on and start with because all you need are in categories, for example Page parts, Media, Clip art, Text Galleries and Widgets. And in tose heading are all the things you would need to edit you webpage. You are able to edit your background, your menu, buttons, text(if you want a scroll bar), the way you want your gallery set and previewed and widgets as in different types of activities you would want on your webpage. This would include music player, comments and etc. Another positive thing with Wix is that once your done editing and placing your images and videotogether you can lock it so you can avoid moving it by accident.

EVALUATION:
Versatility: Wix is very Versatile as it can contain a lot of media, for example Images, Videos, Music and other files. With each of these categories there may be different websites associated with it such as YouTube Videos. and that you can post a link on Images other than saving an image from google on to the computer and downloading it back to the internet. With Wix not only can you add those media but there are also other type of Media that you may not find on Protopage, such as Clip art and galleries. And also like Protopage you can add widgets such as notes, comments, Maps and so on.

Ease of Use:
Wix is "ok" when it comes to difficulty, there are some parts of it that are easy to understand, but some that are complicated and has a series of parts for you until you complete what you want to do. It is pretty easy once you get used to it as you can lock your objects when youre done with them so that you wont move them by accident.

Collaboration:
Me and my partner have collaborated in wix by working on different pages so that we wouldnt interfere with each others work. She would work on designing the website, while i did my research. When she has done fixing up the website, i then went on with fixing my part of the website.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MOTHERBOARDS

There are many differences to each motherboards, one which is most important is the type of Central Processing Unit it supports. Other differences they may have are the amount of memory slots, expansion slota, support for the Hard drives, and each connectors for keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.

PROTOPAGE

So this is the home page of protopage, once you get here, you click on the white box on the top left, which will lead you to a site where you will be able to sign up. Once you click on this you will come up on a page that will look like this.
Protopage is a pretty easy site to follow and not complicated but the problem with this is that its "boring" and have only very little limitations of how to set the website out. Unlike Wix there is only one same template in which has the tabs at the top and then you information in seperate tabs underneath.

In this page you can name you protopage URL, and edit if you want your website on private or public, your password and where you live.

 Once you click "Email me my activation link" it will send you the activation link and your password with it. You can then start editing your own protopage website.

Evaluation:

Versatility- Protopage has a high versaility as you can use any type of giving information, example text video, new, images, comments, HTML, calendars, Clocks etc. Protopage has a wide range of ways to express your information. When you find information from pages you can post link and share it on your website.

Ease of Use- In protopage it is pretty easy to use as there are different type of widgets and tabs you can divide them into. When you want to add components its pretty easy, eg when you want to posta link to a video from youtube you just post the link on html/rich text format. When people are on my wensite it will be easy for them to find each widget as they are all spreaded out and easy to fight. A disadvantage on this maybe because that you are able to minimze each widget which may cause problems as too overcrowding or not seeing the full information.
