Reflection and the Set of Challenges
There were many issues and challenges that cropped up during the project for the website
DealsOn
 The acquiring of the information on the functioning of the grid systems was not easy.
There were many templates that were used and the understanding of the difference
between the templates was also difficult.
 There were many different plug-ins and modules that were involved and used in the
site. Also, there were many extensions that were involved. It was not easy to get hold
of the functioning and integration of all these elements with each other.
 The first task that was to be completed was the designing and development of the
homepage for the website which had various sections and a menu below the header
section. There were different options that were to be integrated in the menu for the
site. The emergence of the issues such as absence of content in the menu, technical
errors and likewise were not getting rectified in the beginning phase.
Sources Referred & Used
The resolution of the challenges and problems that were experienced was done only after an
understanding and clarity on the subject was gained. This was made possible with the aid of
many resources in the form of websites, tutorials and videos.
The basic detail of Wix and the functioning that was involved around the same was acquired
from the website as http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/main/wix_learning.html.
The in-depth information on Wix and the functioning involved with the same for the building
of a website was acquired from
http://harrington.uri.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/01/Wix-Tutorial-1.pdf.
One of the challenges that came up was in the form of addition of an online store to Wix. The
information around same was gathered from the link
https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-a-shopping-cart-icon-in-wix-stores.
Many videos have been uploaded on YouTube that are available for free which can be used
for gaining an understanding on the usage of Wix. There were two videos that were used to
acquire basic and advanced understanding by going through the videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI5mXY-M3WA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?
