Welcome! This is the 2017 iteration of my web property. It is a small business example site built on WordPress, and has a fairly standard menu and ties to 4 social media hubs. Being a web developer, I find it somewhat difficult to keep up my own website. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. I know builders that do fabulous work on very beautiful homes, and they themselves live in modest ‘shacks’ comparatively speaking. We probably all know someone like this – too busy to do their own craft for themselves. But it really doesn’t present so well.
Tools
It is important to keep up with new technologies and have a showcase for your work, so I’ve ported to WordPress from a one-page hand-coded work that has sufficed for several years. I’ve built this site on the Circumference theme.
Some plugins used include:
- WPForms
- Google Maps CP
- Loginizer Security
- Smart Slider
- Huge-IT Portfolio
- Testimonials
Tests
- HTML Validator
- 1 error, 10 warnings – originating from plugins – I have contacted the authors.
- GTMetrix
- PageSpeed Score A (99%), YSlow Score A (96%).
- Page Speed Insights
- Desktop (87 of 100) 7 passed rules, Mobile (75 of 100) 8 passed rules. Could use improvement.
- Pingdom
- Performance grade 95.
Farewell to the old site
