Reflection

For this project, I revamped a closed captioning blog website and made it into an intuitively organized blog and portfolio website. Before this project, I had mostly completed my first client project, so I was familiar with the processes involved with organizing a WordPress website project. However, I did not know how top use the WordPress.com version opf WordPress, so there was a bit of a learning curve. In addition, it was a challenge to try to figure out how to plan a website design where minimal image content was required, in order to work around scheduling issues. This website went from being a plain white blog that had not been updated in ages to a website that my client is proud to show to prospective employers.
