For this project, you’ll create one working WordPress product-based e-commerce website for a client of your choice. You’ll be learning how to build your website from start to finish. You’ll customize your own website by branding it, adding products, creating mock-up product gallery images, designing home page promotional cards, writing effective SEO, setting up your cart and checkout pages, and integrating Mailchimp to create email signup forms.
You will practice being self-directed in this class. I want you to take the reins, do your work at a professional level, and do it with pride and devotion.
