- Tyler had his capstone today and was unable to export the URL. You said you were fine with doing it yourself! Thank you! http://www.tylerlaytons.xyz/Wescosgus/
- I worked on the home page by adding images and moving the take a pledge to this page, I re-formatted the our story layout and made the animation for it, wrote a new section for just Dell and added that in, I wrote the new our process text and had it revised with Marie and made the animation for this page, I completely re-did the recipes page layout- found new images for the recipes and imported recipes from another site owned by Marie into this page, I categorized each recipe/animation with the help from you, the animation on nutrition page was done by me, animation on FAQ and Contact page. I revised the text on our process, our story , the home page and the FAQ with Marie.
- I am very thankful to have had such an amazIng client. I thought Marie was just going to be a client with needs however I was able to connect with her not only from the loss of my dog, but through the love of animals and all things wild in Maine. I learned that not all clients will be just clients and that a connection and friendship can be made from them. The next biggest thing I learned was communication. I was the liaison and luckily Marie was super flexible. I think that our group had a hard time finding a time that worked well with everyone for meetings but we still figured it out. I learned that communication at LEAST twice a week is needed. It was extremely hard to conveal information from Marie to my group ( even if they were forwarded on emails). I just had a hard time making sure the group knew ALL of the fine details that Marie had talked about.
The next thing I learned and possibly the biggest is that there should and will be lots of revisions. Although we waited until today (it worked out because we had prior revisions), revisions should happen before a final due date and they should also be often. I knew going into this project I wouldn’t be offended if changes were made because that is our job. I learned that patience is needed for parts of the website that needed re-editing. There were days were I spent hours on the website editing and then there would be 1 or 2 things that I could simply not figure out or do on my own. As much as I wanted them done right then and there after hours of editing, it wasn’t until a day or two later until the changes were made. (which is OK). This was a very good experience for me in terms of fieldwork and working with a client in general. I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to doing stuff like this in the future.
I think everyone in a group setting feels like other members arent doing as much. Which at some points was exactly how I felt. I think maybe a little bit more participation and communication would have been helpful from my end. Something that worked on our team was that Tyler had a better understanding of Elementor than I did. When I had a technical issue he was able to easily help me with that vs. me trying to take an hour to figure it out, that was overall very helpful. Our group slack channel was also super helpful and an effective way of communicating.
