The objective of this WordPress Web Development Project was to create a portfolio website.
Here you can find descriptions of all the web-design stages from the Mood Board to the final development with WordPress tools. These stages are necessary for all website development.
My intention was to combine a simple "close-to-nature" color
palette, contrast, clean typography, and professional photography
to make the viewer feel comfortable while exploring this website.
A blue-based monochromatic color set was used for framing
utilities (navigation, buttons, etc) in combination with more
colorful pictures for a stylish look.
While creating wireframes and comps my goal was to increase
clarity.
The user-friendly design facilitates navigation and makes it
easy to find any information that website visitor needs.
Logo created in Adobe Illustrator.
Two capital letters D presents “DianaDi-Digital”, fictitious
business name that is going to be used for working with
clients.
Developing a visual identity with a logo is an important part of
establishing any business. Together with an effective website, it
is the key to a successful business.
Even though it might seem like it contains multiple pages, the
website is actually just one page with a lot of JavaScript under
the hood, which is auto-generated by WordPress.
The singular page has different sections like Testimonials,
Home, About, etc.
The tool that allowed me to achieve this
effect was Fusion Builder (ThemeFusion Page Builder Plugin).
I used the Avada Theme for this project.
Plugins used:
- Flamingo: A trustworthy message storage plugin for Contact Form
7
- Contact Form 7 ( Simple and flexible contact form plugin)
- Fusion Core: ThemeFusion Core Plugin for ThemeFusion Themes
- SG Optimizer: This plugin will link your WordPress application
with all the performance optimizations provided by SiteGround.
Additional CSS and HTML was applied.
