Now that I have my new laptop, I am so happy working on my online project. I am creating a website for a diving resort in the Maldives. Yes, Maldives! My dream destination soon with my husband.
I am not sure if I could talk more about this project. So far, I have created the home page. Uploaded some pictures just to see what the mock-up looks like. I worked on the footer and finally, I changed the copyright down there. I created the about page and write some temporary write-ups. I sent a message to the owner to add more information on the about page.
I have created the contact page. I put some Google maps of the island. Put on social media icons and add the shortcode of the contact form. Somehow, the contact page looks neat.
I still need to work on the photos but I don't have Photoshop on my laptop yet. I might install it soon. I think it's better that I manually resize the file of the photo because I used the credit on the plugin that I used. As much as possible, the website should have a fast loading.
I am using WordPress so it's kind of technical. I found a free theme and tweak it around what needs to be changed. I am so happy she paid me full in advance in the agreed amount. Her budget was very low and she asked me to create a simple website.
So I took this project to enhance my web design skills. I am thinking if I should complicate myself and add CSS codes. Later, I'll check to see what is needed to do some code.
So far today, I've been actually productive as I also worked for another client in Australia. I am just doing part-time for him and only work for a few hours a month. I really need to find a bigger project soon.
I actually started my day by waking up at 12 noon. I just drink coffee and eat bread with butter and jam. After drinking coffee, I was having palpitations so my heart was beating faster. I decided to work on the dishes and I was running around while transferring the dishes to the machine. Of course, I did some laundry. Just put the clothes inside the washing machine.
Right now, it's 6:54 AM so I really need to sleep.
Great project! I wish I have a talent for web designing too. Have a great weekend!
