What is the purpose of using storyboards? How will they help you with your final projects?

Storyboarding help me to visualize the final result. Storyboarding will serve has a guide for me.  In order to have a good organized structure, It is important to plan out every step of your website before starting.  It will also help by making the design process easier seeing that I am a non-techies first time website designer. This will also save me a lot of time and frustration. Website storyboarding will help me with my final project by helping me to identify potential website structure and flow problems.
Why writing for the web differ than writing for print? Cite at least 5 specific examples and tips on how you should write for a website vs. print.
When writing for the print we write from introduction and carefully build arguments as we proceed.  When we write for print we present information in a logical sequence.  Writing for the print is formal.  When we write for web we write information that will quickly get the attention of the web reader. Web users skim contents, they ignore details to read content faster. Web reader read the web in F – shaped pattern.   

·         Use lists instead of paragraphs.
·         Include sub headings.
·         Write short sentences.
·         Address your reader directly
·         Proofread your work. 
Review Webnode, Weebly, Wix, and Webs. Which will you choose for your site? Why did you choose this particular program?                             
I chose Weebly because it is free to use and it is user friendly. This is a great tool for non- techies who want to build their own websites. It allows you to pick a design, then drag and drop elements onto each page you create. You can also add texts, pictures, links and contact forms.
