Need a little more pizazz to my homepage

[hardy_thorson]

As the title says, my homepage needs a facelift. It's been the same way for a few years now and I need something to spice it up, especially now that so many of us are teaching online only based courses. If you can I'd prefer visual examples rather than written instructions on what to do, as I'm not a very technically inclined person, so if you could point me to a few pictures or a webpage or two that has something I could see that would be most helpful. Thank you so much.

Hi @hardy_thorson -

I'll do my best to get you some resources! I think it's great that you want to spruce up your home page. It's like decorating your classroom.

After viewing any of these resources, feel free to respond with any follow-up questions. I love designing courses (visual elements included), so I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

Student-Directed Home Pages 

2020 Course Design Essentials: Home Page & Sample Module Template 

Teacher Appreciation 2018 | Home Page Templates

I'm fairly sure that the templates that were created by the Instructure Instructional Design Team include instructions on how to customize the items included in the downloaded files! (Which I think is super cool.) 

I also enjoy using canva.com for button creation. Additionally, explore pixabay.com and unsplash.com for free images without worrying about copyright.
