Due to the fact we're going to be using small animations in our comic (that are accessed via QR code), we need somewhere to host these digital pieces. My main idea is to have a nicely decorated website, full of animations on separate pages. Readers will be lead to these pages when they scan QR or bar codes in the physical book. Because the animations are only small and just for readers, the site itself doesn't need to be too extravagant or have an easy-to-find URL (as if it was too easy to find, people could access the animations without buying the comic).
I used a recommendation site (see 'Useful Links') to find possible web building and hosting sites to use...
WEEBLY
- Free basic builder.
- Professional starting bases.
- Pay for better tools.
- [sitename].weebly.com
- Extensive and modern options.
UCRAFT
- Lots of options.
- $6 a month.
- Modern.
- Block based.
- Poorly reviewed.
SITE123
- Free basic builder.
- Very clear and easy.
- Pay for better tools.
- Quite new, so not many reviews.
WIX
- Free basic builder.
- Extensive starting bases.
- Pay for better tools.
- [sitename].wixsite.com
- an look quite unoriginal and dated.
From this research, I decided to go with Weebly, as this was a cheap option (finances being a difficult issue for us, as we have to print the comic and potentially pay for app hosting too), nas well as having an exciting, modern style too most of it's options, and also having good reviews across the web.
