Joshua Robello Author Site

Joshua Robello Author Site

Project Overview

Summary

Joshua Robello Author website is my first real-world project that is used for an actual purpose - to update fans on the author's book content and direct them to other resources tied to himself. It now serves as a central hub for everything that Joshua is related to.

I completely redesigned his old site and updated social medias as well adding a contact form that will directly email him. Neat!

Roles and Responsibilities

I was tasked to create an author website that displays published works and relevant social media links. The website can also be used to contact the author directly!

Challenges and Solutions

One challenge was to learn WordPress quickly and also make adjustments to the site by using CSS. Initially, the setup was relatively quick, however, in order to fine-tune the website, I needed to understand how WordPress worked and where to adjust the CSS to have the site running as how I envisioned it.

Another challenge was transferring domains from GoDaddy to Name Cheap. I got to experience publishing websites and transferring domains from one domain host to another. In the end, I found that the author was spending $500+ US/year to manage his site and I put it to $17.26/year. That's almost 97% off in savings!

Conclusion

Overall I had a lot of fun with this project and I got to learn a lot about hosting and transferring hosts. I also got to learn more about WordPress and CSS to target specific elements that I wanted. Cool!
