Reflective Essay
For this project I chose to use Weebly.com because I found that Moonfruit.com was a tad bit confusing to figure out. It was hard trying to figure out how to edit the webpage. So then I was looking at Weebly.com and found a design that I really liked. It’s really appealing to the eye. And it’s easy for the eye to just flow through the pages and read through it. Plus I could choose the color that I wanted to put on it, which is nice since I’m a big fan of making things look nice.
I made a home page that will be the first page that everyone sees when the webpage is opened. It includes a little back ground on physical therapy and the history of direct access. I think it’s important for people who may have no idea what direct access is to have a little history lesson on it all. I also chose a very general picture displaying a few pictures of physical therapists working with patients. This gives the viewer an idea of what happens during a physical therapy visit to picture while moving through the website.
The next page is titled “About Direct Access”. It goes into a lot more detail about what it entails and where it’s already be implemented. It goes on to include the types of direct access using certain states as examples. On this page I also included a picture of the United States showing how many states have some form of direct access, giving the viewer an idea of the influence that direct access has already had on the United States.
And then the next page includes a picture in the header with a little description of what will be talked about. On this page all of the statistics that I’ve found on direct access are included. This includes three different studies that show things like the cost effectiveness with the implementation of direct access and a few other important points. I also included a graph showing the cost effectiveness and showing how much more time efficient people can be with direct access.
The next page starts off as another header and picture with a little description to catch the viewer’s attention. And this page includes all of the advantages for the patients and for the physical therapists. It includes quotes from nationally recognized physical therapists and a graph comparing patients who were self-referred and those who were referred by a physician. It’s an easy to follow table that an average person can easily follow and understand it. I also included footnotes where I gave definitions for a couple words for the understanding of the viewers.
The nest page gives some opposing viewpoints where it counters these viewpoints to show why those viewpoints may be misguided. I added a picture for the viewer’s enjoyment, also. I also added a footnote on this page to give a little more detail into something mentioned lightly. And then the last page just includes the works cited page.
