In this video, you will choose a layout and add text to your website.
Adding a layout to your website can help keep your site neat, organized, and visually appealing.
This helps your website grab your viewers’ attention and allows them
to easily view the information you want them to know about.
To begin, choose a layout for your website.
To help you choose an effective layout,
think about the text and images you’d like to display on your site.
Next, add text to your website.
You’ve already added a title that describes the topic.
Now add other important information about your topic to the page,
like the purpose of your website.
Add details about your topic.
For example, to share information about a group or event,
you could include details such as the time, date, and location.
Now, select fonts that make important text stand out.
For example, headings and subheadings will stand out more than normal text,
while titles will be the most prominent.
Emphasize text to grab your viewer’s attention.
Now, add a textbox for your call to action.
Your call to action should be one or more sentences urging your audience to take action.
When you write a call to action, you should choose words that are strong,
clear and concise, and create enthusiasm or motivation to do something.
Let your audience know exactly what you want them to do.
Format the text so that it grabs the attention of your audience.
Your call to action should be located in a visible area of
your website so your viewers will see it and act on it.
You can easily move text boxes, layouts,
and other objects around to place them exactly where you would like.
Now, add a footer with your contact information.
This is especially important if your call to action urges people to contact you,
like to sign up to volunteer for a community project,
or to make an appointment for a service you are offering, like lawn care or pet sitting.
Be mindful of the types of contact information you share on your website,
however, since your site will be available to anyone on the internet.
Do not include information like your personal phone number and address.
Insert a link to your email address.
When the user clicks it, it will allow them to send you an email.
Choose a text style to make your contact information stand out
and easy for your viewers to find.
