joomla basics

In the above image I am creating my article using joomla. In this website it is a bit easier when creating content as you simply write your text in the box above you edit it in the box and you add images as well to the text box as shown above.

Making my website on joomla

For my responsive website I used Joomla to create it. This website is similar to Word-Press and it was my first time using it too create a website. Overall I found it sort of difficult to use as I  had never used it before. The first thing I did was to buy a domain name since my website was called Techhacks I bought The domain name tech hacks and used this to set up my website. After doing that I made a menu and within this menu,  I had created articles which linked to the menu and can be viewed as webpages once published.

Now that you've  upgraded to an iPhone 7, what shall you do with your old IPhone? While your mind may ponder on this question  let me make it easier for you. You have a few options in this scenario. such as selling it, but if your like me and your phone may have seen its fair share of wear and tear. The profit attainable from such an item will be dependent on the quality and state of the phone, and therefore maybe minescule as its value  goes down. Consider transforming  your used iPhone 6S (and 6S Plus, 6 Plus, 6, and 5C) into an iPod Touch, This is perfect for kids wanting an iDevice of their own.

To begin using your  old IPhone as an IPod Touch, insert a SIM card into the phone, make sure the Sim is from the same wireless carrier that the phone uses. Connect the iPhone to an Internet-enabled computer with iTunes. The program will activate the iPhone, letting you use it as an iPod Touch.
If the SIM  used  is still active, you can remove it from the Current iPod Touch and place it back in the device that will continue to be used as an iPhone. Or, if the SIM  isn't activated, leaving it in the device is also fine, since there's no data plan connected to the device. Make sure to enable a WiFi network, and you're good to utilize apps and listen to music just as before.

Market Audience

                                                           Market Audience

The target audience I wish to advertise my website too would start from the age of 12-till 30.
The reason my target audience is not so specific is because now at days  in our society. Everyone has a smart device of some sort, and since my websites information is so broad I believe anyone can benefit from this website in some way or form. The only groups of people who this
 may not apply too are the very young and the very old as both these groups of people may not have any real interest in technology. As they are either too old to adapt to this technology or still too young to operate a smart device let alone know about what tech hacks they could use too there own benefit.

This is another website which I spoke about on one of my earlier blog posts its layout consists of a blue, white and black colour scheme. As seen above one of the first things which is noticeable about this website is its logo. Which stands out the creator made this possible by using cool fonts, which I spoke about earlier its important for a website to stand out too grab attention of an online audience. For my website I will do something of the same standard except my logo will be tech hacks related which I'm still working on at the moment  after looking at some ideas I realised that to make my website different I must come up with a unique name for it which I'm working on at the moment, also looking at more websites has made me realise the only  way I will stand out might be include a another colour as all these other websites are almost all the same with there colour schemes individuality is needed for success in this department and that's what I plan to do with my design for my website

pocket-lint

    


   This is the type of design I will not follow as it is very uninteresting to the eye and I personally as a user would not want to read this article the reason I say this is when looking at the web page we see  the colour scheme of black and white isn't vibrant to the eye. Also there are too many facts too read I  don't think any user would want too read up to 52 tech hacks as this would be overwhelming  to the user and overall take away from the users interest I feel with this type of website interactivity is needed too make it more attractive overall therefore I will do that differently on my website
