Part 1
Here are some website templates to inspire you:
Choose one template that you like from the above lists and demo it. Sketch out the structure of the website template as a low fidelity wireframe to understand the different sections or building blocks of the template. Take screenshots of the template and publish this with the wireframe sketches to your blog. INFO You will be working with each of the website builders that we touched on today for the remainder of this academic week, make sure you can finish your work within the provided free trial period of each platform.
I chose to sketch out the Template "Hester" from Squarespace.
Wireframe was made in Adobe XD

Part 2
Acquire your own hosting service. (Mandatory) An individual hosting service will be needed throughout the rest of your studies, and this Lesson Task is therefore mandatory. We recommend one.com, but you are free to choose any hosting service. If you choose one.com, the monthly fee is low. The beginner plan is sufficient, and there are step-by-step guides showing you how to set up an account, create e-mail addresses, connect via FTP etc. Consider your domain name very carefully. This cannot be altered. You can of course sign up for other domain names and delete the one you have, but it has unnecessary cost implications and transferring the website and domain at a later stage involves effort. Also note that it can take 24 hours for the hosting provider to complete the registration. After completing the domain registration, you can write a short paragraph about the process, the hosting package you chose, and how you went about choosing a domain name. You can include screenshots of the process to illustrate it more graphically.
Since I had to stop school for some months and there has been some changes meanwhile I have already completed this task from before which I have on my blog.
Link to my old blog post on this task:
"Although I already own one domain name for my website - www.deiliephotography.com
I decided to buy a new domain and hosting service from one.com that I could use for the tasks without disrupting my main website. The new domain name is www.deilie.eu"
I don't remember much of the process but I picked the "Plan: Explorer" and a domain name "deilie.eu". (From Desislava + Ilieva = De and ilie (it also sounds a lot like "Daily" which I like.)
With this plan I am able to use a website builder and Add-ons.
