Kyle's 5 Week Plan

https://kehbarnedt.wixsite.com/tesphat




The Plan


Week 1: layout front page and each latter page. No functionality, all image based. Fill out “about” and “contact info” pages

Week 2: dig into coding for slide-out content pages, start filling “sketchbook” section

Week 3: finalize gallery layout, no content to fill. Will be filled as projects are completed


Week 4: ensure completion of final project OR find a completed project to put on the front page. Finalize details and functional code.


Week 5: publish the front page, search for bugs and correct

Problem Log:  

01 April 2019) Found very little customization potential on WordPress. they seem to really enforce usage of templates. Transferred site over to WIX to explore the customization options, already looking more realistic as a web hosting option. 

03 April 2019) Came across design issues mostly. Side-bar button misbehavior on safari is still a mystery. When sidebar light boxes, are engaged, home page background will fade to soften the bright background color.

10 April 2019) Filled sketchbook page with four images to test functionality and layout ideas. Unified the font style on the entire page, there were two different styles before. Checked layout and function on the mobile site, altered page design to cooperate on a mobile platform. Cleaned up the "about" section and added social media links. Added image protection for every graphic on site, bummer broskee. 

17 April 2019) Working on content creation for the front page. Removed "doubles", nothing in the sketchbook should be featured in the gallery. 

22 April 2019) Moved "Contact" section onto homepage for a smoother website flow. Changed font and font colors in the contact section to make it more visually pleasing. Added content to the sketchbook page to fill more space, had to work with grid layout on both mobile and desktop platforms. 

24 April 2019) Found a design issue on a mobile platform. Footer would force a white rectangle to appear on mobile devices at the bottom of the sketchbook page. Filled in the footer with background color, fixed the issue. Changed landing page image, and changed the sketchbook content to process videos.
