Stage One
The main trouble that I had with Hotglue was when trying to get some consistency between the pages. Getting elements to line up correctly and be easier to navigate was quite a struggle. So I drew out a template on some graph paper and loaded it into each page as a background picture. From there I could resize elements to sit with the template I had created. I also still had the issue of the overall page size. It doesn't resize to the browser or centre itself so my only optinos were to make the site a horizontally scrolling site, or use css.
There is also trouble with images and alignment. also with the amount of images and content on each page - with each element being dragged in and then resized - the page load time was getting longer and longer.
Also it was quit painstakingly slow to click through the separate font settings to get to the right one and the font size could only be controlled by a slider, which made continuity very difficult.
Accessibility
Accessibility is a huge issues with hotglue sites as I could not find anywhere to add in alternative text. Which means that anyone would an e-reader would have a huge amount of trouble reading the page.
I had a lot of hand written notes which would be impossible to read with an e-reader.
The sheer amount of content I needed to have on the hotglue site would be overwhelming if I created it all from images in the more obvious approach.
From here I then discovered that I could add hmtl into the text boxes to add borders, font-sizes and colours. Although the element layout was still causing some difficulty.
