BEFORE AFTER REEL DEAL TACOS: https://info633584.wixsite.com/reeldealtacos CHANGES MADE Home Page On the homepage,  I removed the text to the right and left of the logo since it was not even. I also added an organic badge on the big image of the homepage so it doesn't feel like there is empty space on the image. I removed the "Why Fish Tacos are the REEL Deal..." section and then moved up all other sections. Under the "Find Us" section, I made the text bigger so it stands out more on the page. Navigation I moved the logo to the left and moved up the navigation next to the logo in order to reduce the size of the header. By reducing the size of the header, I was able to freeze the header so that when jumpi...

Like any website design, it's important to map out a plan before the design stage. The purpose of this activity is to begin gathering all of the information we need for our future portfolio website and create a plan we can implement later on when it's time to design.  My portfolio strategy is in the form of a Google Slides presentation. Click below to view the presentation: Portfolio Strategy Presentation Are you proud of what you created here? Why? I am proud of the way I have organized my portfolio strategy. I think it's well organized and easy to share.

What area of your portfo...

Reel Deal Tacos Website: https://info633584.wixsite.com/reeldealtacos Self-Assessment As I built the website I kept my original proposal open, so I feel I met most of the provisions outlined in my proposal I added the social media networds, on-page SEO (page titles and descriptions), and the sitemap is pretty similar to the original proposal. I originally recommended building the site on WordPress, but ultimately I built the site using Wix. This may be the only item I did not deliver as promised.

I typically stick to WordPress or Weebl...
