Project: WordPress Website
Project Summary
In early 2019 I used WordPress to launch a website for a renovation company in Montreal, as a freelance job.
The website was multi-lingual (in three languages) and required a professional design, as well as SEO optimization.
Their old website had a basic design, without much information, and was made using a DIY web design tool.
I created the new website from scratch on a new server, and also wrote all the content.
I installed WordPress and multiple plugins, adjusted the settings, purchased a theme and customized it using CSS.
