WEB210 » 06b) Create WordPress Content & Menu System

Content is the key to any good website.

Without good and relevant content everything else is merely a placeholder.

— Web Redesign: Workflow that Works 2.0, by Kelly Gato & Emily Cotler

Therefore, once your team has installed & set-up WordPress on your development staging server, each team will be responsible for creating the Pages, Postings, Categories, Galleries (i.e. Flexslider) and Custom Post Types (e.g. Staff Members), etc. that will allow the Client to update and manage their website content using WordPress.

The good thing about a Content Management System is that your Client can create, update and maintain content. The bad thing about a Content Management System is that your Client can create, update and maintain content.

Requirements:

• Create WordPress Pages, Postings and Categories according to the finalized “Information Architecture” assignment.
• Within each Page & Posting, you must create sample content that will allow your team to test your style sheet and serve as an example for your Client.
• Create a “Main” Menu System of your Pages, Postings and Categories that is representative of the finalized “Information Architecture” assignment.
• Continue to explore, install and test plugins to use according to your functional specifications from your “Project Proposal” assignment. (e.g. Contact Form 7).
• I will check your Development Staging Server (Protosite) link from your Client Staging Area according to the class Schedule (Fall) or Schedule (Summer) for review and grade.
