I enjoy Web Design and Development. I have built Wordpress websites as well as custom websites using Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS. I live at the beach and savor traveling abroad, especially in Italy and Portugal. These photographs were taken by me and my husband.
Current Projects
Artist Website
Create an Artist’s website with a gallery and Artist’s bio using Wordpress. Navigation is by menu, categories, internal links, and search box. The Artist wanted a portfolio website to show his paintings without distraction.
Author Website
Design and create a custom WordPress website for an author, matching the author’s style and needs, including three blogs for three pen names with visually distinctive styles. It will include a future newsletter, free story downloads, and YouTube uploads. The project involved creating a child theme; writing custom CSS; debugging, testing and maintaining code; incorporating Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, UI and UX.
Travel Website
The ROME TRAVEL website presents images and information about activities to enjoy in Rome using an interactive mapbox.com API (mapbox GL JS) and quiz (using REACT). The website is created with a Django framework, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, paralax scrolling, and a personalized favicon. The project involved debugging, testing, and maintaining code, as well as uploading to Github repository. The website is mobile-responsive using media queries.
