Elayah Jade Website
Dreamweaver + Wordpress
The goal behind this project was to create a website for client trying to sell or promote their product and or services. All of this had to be done using Wordpress and including the child theme. The challenge for this website was to create something that really matched the person for whom we were making the website. The child theme was also quite difficult to work with, seeing as how the coding and it would not always work. To have the website really match the person it was designed for, I spent a fair amount of time talking to them and getting to know them, as well as getting their opinion on the design. Done during 4th semester, 2017
