Website Update
So as you all know, I have been redesigning a website for a small business that helps take care of the disabled. It has been an interesting and awesome experience thus far. There has been quite a few bumps since starting the website makeover and I have overcome quite a few of them. Right now I am switching up the navigation bar due to color changes and some extra additions I am throwing in. My current layout, as you all know, is a single page layout. I am aiming for no more than 7-8 sections in the webpage, which is becoming more and more difficult with all the files that were given to me about a week ago. They have a lot of PDF files that applicants need to submit an application and they also have a lot of files pertaining to laws that I am trying to find a place for. I guess you could say I am rethinking a single page layout but I REALLY think it would be best for their business.
Thoughts for the Client
Something else I was thinking of that would be in the best interest of the client, is to make it easier for them to edit information. I was discussing this with them when I met with them at their house, and they seemed to really like the thought of Wordpress. I really did not want to make my first website redesign a Wordpress website, but I think their are other ways of managing a website data with Wordpress. I just need to research it a little more and figure out the most efficient way of doing so.
Conclusion
This website is my first website, and I already lost at times. I am consistently pushing forward even when I get stumped. I have already done the layout and navigation bar of the website. Now I am trying to figure out a way to manage data with Wordpress without using Wordpress to make the website. Another issue is that I have been working extra hours lately along with managing a healthy lifestyle and creating this website. So my total time of spending a minimum of 5 hours a day dedicated to the website has gone down significantly! I have been only able to spend no more than a couple hours a day due to preparing my meals, going to bed early enough, and other life events that are taking place. It doesn't matter what direction you take your steps, as long as you always moving forward!!
