W06. Finished Website

  1. Now that our image gallery is up and running, we will need to complete our web presence by adding the following content:
    1. Statement
    2. Bio
    3. Résumé
    4. Contact info
  2. Statement, Bio and Résumé: For these written documents, you will need to have two options for individuals perusing your website.
    • First, create a new page for each element on your site and then enter the content directly into your site. This option will allow search engines and people with disabilities to quickly and easily search and find information within these documents.
    • Next, upload a PDF of each document and add links to the PDFs on each corresponding page (for example: the Statement page will have a link to the Statement PDF). This option will be available for individuals who may want to download your information for reading or reviewing later.
  • Contact: You can set up your contact information in one of two ways. First, you can have your email address or business phone number (NOT personal phone number) listed on your contact page. If people want to contact you they can do so directly. The second option would be to set up a contact form on your site, so that people can contact you directly from your website. There are pros and cons for each option, and you can absolutely make both options available on a single page. If you are interested in adding a contact form, WordPress has a variety of plugins that can add this functionality to your site.
  • Make sure that entire site is working correctly and that it has all of the above content available. There will be no extensions on this assignment, and technical difficulties will not be an excuse for not having this project completed at the start of class.
