Website Builders

Tool: Weebly (http://www.weebly.com/)

Review:
Weebly allows you to build a website without having to know html, xml, or any other markup language. Getting started is easy. You register for free, pick a theme from the many templates available, and choose a domain name. When using the free version, your webpage has a weebly.com domain, but you can choose to purchase a domain and your page will not be tagged as a weebly page. 

Adding content to the site is pretty straightforward. In the editing pane, there are a number of element options and you simply drag them onto the page you are editing and put in your content. You can also embed media. You can also customize the theme you chose.

Recommended Use for Public Health Messaging:
Websites can be used in public health message for information sharing, motivating, instructing, etc. Some examples: You can share statistics and other information on a disease; contact information for the health department; tell people where to go for vaccinations or STD testing, you can include maps for how to get those places; you can use your website in an attempt to motivate people to lose weight; embed videos that demonstrate how to do certain exercise or how to cook healthy meals also how to prep (how to mince something vs. chop it, what it looks like to simmer something instead of boil). Obviously, there are things that can be better addressed in person, such has how to properly use a lance and blood sugar monitor, but websites lend themselves to all sort of communication possibilities.
