This website is all about the solar system. I wanted to share my deep interest with astrology. The website focuses on comparing and contrasting the different planets , moons and dawf planets that are found within the milky way galaxy
To understand the inner workings of wordpress.
The project was designed and coded by myself.

I spent some time figuring out what I wanted to design and code. This was a hard one because this was going to be my first ever website that I create in the program so I wanted it to be a good one. After finding my topic, I then searched through Nasa’s website and gathered all of the information that could be used in order to create the website.
I then spent quite a bit of time coming up with low fidelity wireframes for how I wanted to position the text/ images. This took the majority of the time because I needed to pick a wordpress template that allowed for quite a bit of flexibility. My main goal was to make the website functional across all devices, whether it be an iPhone or an iPad, the website needed to be 100% responsive. I found myself getting lost in exploring all of the different options.
With all of the assets ready, I went ahead and started adding all of the information into the wordpress website. After playing around with the page builder I felt confident to finalize the design.
Making sure my website reacts the same on multiple browsers is a vital aspect to every website I create. I did testing on browsers like Firefox, safari and chrome and made sure there weren’t any discrepancies in the sites functionality or design.
Looking back, I found this project to be beneficial in getting me started with wordpress. Its GUI makes adding content extremely easy and intuitive. Although hand coding websites give me a lot more flexibility , I can appreciate the speed in which I could generate a mockup into a fully functioning website. With wordpress powering about a third of the websites on the web, being able to understand how it works is a key asset to have when building for the web.
