I started this project to showcase my capabilities as a WordPress developer.
I designed and built a custom WordPress theme from scratch, going through these phases:

  1. Design & Layout

    • Created a clean, responsive HTML/SCSS layout.

    • Focused on usability and pixel-perfect details.

  2. WordPress Integration

    • Converted the static layout into a fully functional WordPress theme.

    • Learned valuable lessons about theme structure and best practices.

  3. Advanced Functionality

    • Added custom post types (CPTs) for portfolio items.

    • Built dedicated single pages for each project.

    • Implemented a reusable header and footer system for consistency.

  4. Additional Tasks

    • Wrote and organized content.

    • Performed QA testing to ensure responsiveness and functionality.

    • Configured a mail service.

    • Installed an SSL certificate.

    • Learned to maintain the site online using cPanel.

  5. Final Outcome

    • Multiple page templates (landing page, default page, single portfolio pages).

    • Easy content management from the WordPress backend.

    • A professional and fully functional custom theme.
