This was the most frustration week so far. I spent so much time trying to figure out how to get the requested actions set up on my site and I have no idea if they will work the way they are supposed to work to give us the information we need for the course. I don't know if it is just my inexperience with building a website or my lack of time to figure it out, but my opinion is if we are paying to learn something we should be taught it in our class and not have to figure out most of the steps on our own.
I completely understand the selling points of being able to customize a website to what you want to do (if you already know what you want to do) but I have no experience doing any of this and I am getting more frustrated the deeper we dive into the back-end workings of our site. I think it would be a good idea in the future for this class to offer an option of following along with a pre-designed site that we could all do together. That way we are all using the same host, the same page builder and actually being taught the steps to accomplish these tasks required. Getting the outcomes required here at the end could vary wildly depending on choices we made at the beginning of the semester, choices might I ad, that we had no idea how would impact what we had to do in the future!
I am pretty good at figuring out how to do things, but there are too many variables in a market that changes as rapidly as the internet does.
