Building a Mobile-Friendly Website

Write a detailed brief. (You may use a real client or a fictional one)
Use the information from the brief to build a wireframe for the website
Choose a WordPress theme for the website
Customise the WordPress theme to fulfil the specific needs of the client
Make sure that the site works on both desktop and mobile devices (it does not have to work perfectly, but I want to see that you have considered it)

In this learning activity I will cooperate my on going semester exam. During the planning I had not decided what would be best if I was making a site for a client. Here are some of my thoughts and how I decided based on my assumptions:

Website from scratch

Pros

Coding from scratch shows knowledge.
Seems more impressive.
More creative freedom

Cons

How easy is it for the client to use when they what to add content?
The coding makes my head explode when I am under pressure, as of November 2020.
It doesn’t seem practical or easy to use for the majority of clients.

Website build in WordPress

Pros

Easy for the client to fill with content after development.
Building is easier.
Powerfull tool, it is widely used.
Loads of help online.
Start from scratch or work more efficiently and customize a existing theme.

Cons

So claim WordPress is outdated.
Update plug-ins, needs to be look after.
My assumption that the making is less impressive.

My conclusion: We’ll do WordPress!

I still consider this a challenge since I haven’ t really done any complete WordPress sites yet. Because of my negative views on building with WordPress versus building from scratch.

Client description

My client is the Knit-Knacks, it is a student organisation, their focus is to connect students through the interest in knitting. Knit-Knacks’ core is to be an alternative for students to meet other students and connect, an alternative to doing out for drinks. They want a site where members and those who are curious about them, can feel welcomed and can easily navigate around. The site should be inspiring and relaxing.
