I wanted to create a platform where I could log whatever I’m working on or express my thoughts on any upcoming or existing creations, which is why I attempted to create this website.
To create this website, I watched and merged two tutorials:
- How To Make a Dark/Light Mode Personal Portfolio Website ~ WordPress & Elementor 2024 for Beginners (For the portfolio website)
- How To Make a FREE Professional Website
Step By Step2024 (Header & Footer)
The website-making process was not challenging but rather time-consuming. WordPress, along with Elementor, which is a great plugin, are excellent tools for beginners to make a website.
The main challenge I faced was when making the blog/post, as I did not edit it with Elementor but rather the WordPress theme editor, which offered fewer options to edit. However, it was much easier to make a post. Since my main purpose is to post my projects or views, I chose the Classic Editor to make my posts, as it is easier and less time-consuming.
The second challenge was the colors I chose, black and pink, which may have turned out to be annoying for most people. However, after spending hours on it, I decided it was good enough for the job, as I want to spend more time on the projects rather than the website itself. However, I do hope to change it in the future.
Conclusion: Making this website while taking SYSC4504 (Web Development) was very cool, as I was learning HTML and CSS. I could see the properties for each block I was using in Elementor. So, I was not fully lost or blindly following the tutorial! But yes, I look forward to posting more and hopefully tweaking or improving this website in the future.
