In this extension, you’ll change some of your website’s design elements to give your site a different look.

Different designs can add visual appeal to your site and help ensure that your viewer remembers it.

They can also help connect your website’s look with the topic of your project.

To complete this extension, you will: Select a new theme for your website, Change your font and accent color, And change the background of individual sections.

To begin, open your website in editing mode.

The theme you selected is already applied.

Your theme determines how your text looks, as well as any accent colors.

First, change your theme to give your site a different look.

Next, change your font.

Each theme provides three fonts to choose from.

Depending on your project, you might choose a font that’s modern or one that’s more classic.

Then, change your accent color.

Use the preset options, or choose your own color.

Your accent color controls the color of your headings and extra features, like the underline.

The color you choose should complement your photos.

Finally, change the background of individual sections to add even more visual appeal to your site.

These backgrounds can relate to the topic of your project.

For example, if you are doing a project about the environment, you might choose colors or images from nature.

These small changes make a website your own, and can make a noticeable difference to its look and feel.

They can help make your website more visually representative of your project and help reinforce its purpose, too.

Now, it’s your turn: Select a new theme for your website, Change your font and accent color, And change the background of individual sections.

In this extension, you will create a survey in Google Forms to get feedback about your event and embed it into your website.

A survey can be a valuable source of information about what what went well with your event, as well as what you could improve for future events.

It can help confirm if you achieved the goals of your project.

In the Form Description, tell people what your survey is for.

Now add a question to your form.

You can choose different types of responses for your questions.

For example, you can select multiple choice to provide limited, pre-written responses or short answer to allow people to write their own responses.

Select a response type for your question.

If you’ve chosen “multiple choice,” “checkboxes,” or “dropdown,” add different response options.

Now add to your survey so that it contains at least 3 questions.

You might ask people what they liked best about your event, or what they think you could improve.

This type of feedback can be especially helpful if you want to plan similar events in the future.

Open-ended questions can be the most helpful way to receive feedback on an event, since people can answer your questions in their own words and even give you specific examples.

After you have added at least 3 questions to your survey, preview them to check for errors.

When you are satisfied with your survey, copy the link to embed it into your website.

Then open your website in editing mode.
