Technologies used: WordPress, Joomla!, Adobe Photoshop, HTML5, CSS3, PHP.
A second-year University module required the production of two similar websites, on differing content management systems. For this the WordPress and Joomla! open source systems were used.
From the two scenarios, I chose to produce a cycle hire and promotion website. All content was bespoke for the website, and included several key features.
Key Features
- eCommerce cycle hire system (WooCommerce)
- Informational News articles
- Cycle route informational pages, including Google Map API integration
- Social network integration (sharing)
- Community forums
- Bespoke privacy policy
- Fully responsive
Initial sketches were created to form the logo/branding, which was digitally mastered using Adobe Photoshop. The logo consists of three objects, which join together to form the letter C and D. At a glance the user may notice that this looks similar to a bicycle. This helps to establish the branding, as the logo can be considered to promote the topic of the website.
