Design and produce a WordPress content
management website for an event. You can choose any event, for example a
conference, a music festival, an arts festival, an awards event etc., however
this will need to be agreed by your tutor. You can take content and logo’s from
existing events but the design of the site must be yours. You can use existing
WordPress Frameworks and/ or themes but these must be modified to suit your purpose
and design, or, you could design your own theme. You must research your event
genre and produce suitable information architecture and designs, along with
consideration of your target audience.
The site
will need to be responsive and you will need to consider and implement SEO
for WordPress, usability and user experience, producing wireframes
and user testing in order to test your user journeys. Detailed research
into the above, along with evidence of research into your choice of plug-ins, i.e. why
did you use particular plug-ins, what do they
cost and what are the ongoing fees, must be evidenced in your blogs.
