Project Introduction

I started this project by purchasing the Jammymedia.co.uk domain and added basic theme files to the site. I knew that I didn’t want to use a template, so I began with my header and footer.

Homepage Design

My homepage design utilises the Flex HTML property to customise the display of elements on both desktop and mobile devices. This responsive layout compensates for the 90% of users that use mobile.

I tried to implement this approach to the rest of the sites design, always thinking of how the design will look on the desktop.

Expertise

What would usually be classed as service pages, I have changed them to expertise pages. I chose four of my strongest skills and made them into pages so that you can learn a little more about how I use them in my working role, personal work and in my free time.

The four expertise pages include: SEO, Website Development, Graphic Design and Social Media.
