Project 2 Update: Ongoing Support and Performance Optimization

It’s been a smooth week for Project 2, with the site continuing to perform well post-launch. I’ve been focusing on ongoing monitoring, as well as handling any minor adjustments or issues that have come up after the site went live.

Here’s what I accomplished this week:

• Performance Monitoring: The site is running smoothly, and I’ve been keeping an eye on key metrics such as page load time, bounce rate, and user engagement. Everything is performing as expected, but I’ll continue to monitor these metrics over the next few weeks.
• Client Feedback: The client has started receiving feedback from their users, and I’ve been helping them address a few minor usability concerns, such as optimizing a couple of contact form fields for better user experience.
• SEO and Analytics: I’ve worked with the client to ensure that Google Analytics and other tracking tools are set up correctly, allowing for ongoing SEO tracking and analysis.
• Minor Tweaks: There were a few small changes to the content and formatting, which I made quickly to ensure everything remains consistent and aligned with the client’s brand guidelines.

Next steps for Project 2:

• Continue providing ongoing support, troubleshooting any issues that arise from user feedback.
• Plan for future updates and enhancements based on the client’s evolving needs or any additional features they may request.
• Conduct another performance audit in the next few weeks to ensure that everything remains optimized.

Project 3 Update: Development Milestones and Feature Integration

This week, Project 3 continued to move forward with significant progress in both design and functionality. I’ve been busy finalizing the interior pages, integrating new features, and testing the overall functionality.

Here’s what I accomplished this week:

• Interior Pages Completed: I’ve successfully built out the remaining interior pages, making sure to follow the approved designs and keep content aligned. These pages are now responsive and ready for client review.
• Custom Features Integration: The integration of custom features like contact forms, dynamic content, and interactive elements is well underway. This week, I focused on adding a few custom animations and interactive sections to enhance user engagement.
• E-commerce Setup: As part of the development, I started implementing the e-commerce functionality (if applicable), including setting up product pages, cart functionality, and checkout processes. This feature is critical for providing a smooth shopping experience.
• Responsive Design Testing: As I continued development, I made sure that all pages are fully responsive and tested on various devices to ensure a seamless user experience. I’ve also been doing additional load time optimization to make the site run faster.

Next steps for Project 3:

• Continue finalizing the e-commerce setup and ensure everything works smoothly during checkout and payment processes.
• Implement any additional custom features the client may request, such as membership areas or advanced user functionalities.
• Start preparing for the final client review, where I’ll present the completed website and request feedback.

For Project 3, I’ve made substantial progress this week. The Home page and several key interior pages are now live in the development environment, and I’m beginning to integrate some of the more advanced features.

Here’s what I accomplished this week:

• Home Page Completion: The Home page is fully built out and functional, complete with all the necessary content, images, and custom features. I’ve also made sure it’s fully responsive across all devices.
• Interior Pages Development: I’ve completed the development of two additional interior pages, ensuring they align with the approved designs. These pages now feature consistent layouts, images, and content, with all necessary elements in place.
• Feature Integration: This week, I started integrating some advanced features, such as custom forms, animation effects, and e-commerce functionality (if applicable). These features are important for enhancing user engagement and providing a richer experience.
• Performance Testing: I’ve been running performance tests on the site to ensure it loads quickly and functions well on all devices. So far, the site is performing well, but I’ll continue optimizing as more features are added.

Next steps for Project 3:

• Continue building out the remaining interior pages, making sure to apply the approved design elements and ensure content is aligned.
• Complete the integration of any custom features, such as e-commerce or membership systems.

Project 3 Update: Design Approval and Moving into Development

For Project 3, after several rounds of communication with the client, I’m excited to report that the Home page and Interior pages have finally been approved! This is a significant milestone, and I’m ready to move into development.

Here’s what I’ve accomplished this week:

For Project 3, I’m still waiting for the client’s final approval on the Home and Interior pages. The logo redesign was successfully approved last week, and now it’s a matter of finalizing the content and page layouts. In the meantime, I’ve taken a proactive approach by preparing the development environment.

Here’s what I’ve done:

• Setup: Established the file structure and installed all necessary plugins and tools for the WordPress theme.
• Content Preparation: Began gathering all content, images, and any other assets for the site, ensuring I have everything ready for a smooth transition into development once the designs are approved.

Next steps for Project 3:

• Once the client gives the go-ahead, I’ll begin building out the Home page, followed by the interior pages.
• Focus on creating a flexible layout with scalable elements to accommodate future changes or content updates.
• Implement the new logo design and branding elements consistently throughout the pages.

Wrapping Up: What’s Next

With the Services page nearing completion on Project 2, the next focus will be finalizing the QA process, making any necessary tweaks based on client feedback, and preparing everything for launch. On Project 3, I’m preparing to hit the ground running as soon as I get approval from the client.

I’m looking forward to another productive week ahead. Stay tuned for further updates as we push both projects closer to completion!

Only 1 more month of school! This is my last semester! WOO HOO!

Progress on Project 2

After finishing the Home and About pages last week, we have discussed starting development for the Services page and it’s four interior pages. This week I will be focused on creating the Services page. Once I get a good layout for the services page I will then use that template for the interior pages and just make some small changes.

This week I have completed the layout for the Services page. I was able to create one interior page as well. I am waiting for my client manager to approve the layouts. Usually, he will take a peak at the pages and make sure they are fully responsive. If he doesn’t notice anything he will approve the layout. If he notices something I will go in and fix it.

Progress on Project 3

We are still waiting to hear back from the client about our designs. We did get our logo redesign approved from the client! Yet, the Home page and interior page designs have not yet been approved.

Progress on Project 2

This week I have finished up developing the layout for the Home and About page for this website. I have had a couple meetings with one of our client managers about what the next steps are going forward with this project.

Ongoing Discussions for Project 3

We have been in contact with the client, and we are finally starting our graphic designing for this project. This usually takes the graphic designer about a week or two and then it takes about a week to hear back from the client. When we hear back from the client we will discuss the changes that need to be made to the design and from there we will continue to move forward to development.

Wrapping Up Project 1

Project 1 has officially been up and running for a week. We are now just doing weekly maintenance.

Progress on Project 2

After setting up the global settings last week, I have focused on developing the Home Page and the About page on this website. Usually our graphic designer will make the layout using lorem ipsum and then I will go in and recreate it inside of WordPress. Then when the design gets approved by the clients, one of our Client Specialists will write the content for the page.

Ongoing Discussions for Project 3

We have gotten the theme for this project approved. Yet, we are still waiting for feedback from the company we are working with. There hasn’t been much progress made on this site this week.

Wrapping Up Project 1

This week we successfully launched Project 1. We were able to focus on our post-launch. This included things like setting up re-directs, submitting the sitemap to Google, and just double checking that everything on the site was functioning properly. Going forward we will be keeping a close eye on the website to make sure it doesn’t have any issues. Also, I will be adding this website to my list of sites to do weekly maintenance on.

Progress on Project 2

After picking out the perfect WordPress theme last week, we switched up our focus this week. We focused on setting up the backend of the WordPress website including global colors, fonts, and removing unnecessary plugins/post/pages.

Ongoing Discussions for Project 3

Last week we picked a few themes to consider for this website. We ended up landing on a good theme. Yet, we are still waiting for feedback from the company we are working with. There hasn’t been much progress made on this site this week.
