Day 5 was all about taking a step back to refine what’s already been built and laying the groundwork for future growth. While the day didn’t bring major leaps forward, it was a necessary and productive period of reflection and organization.
Site Styling and Fixes
I focused on refining the styling of the website, ensuring that everything looks cohesive and professional. It was about tightening up the design, tweaking elements, and making sure the user experience is smooth and intuitive. These small adjustments are critical in creating a polished, engaging site that will leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Portfolio Building
A significant part of the day was spent going through my old hard drive, rediscovering a treasure trove of old images, web layouts and even some forgotten videos from college projects. These pieces are invaluable for populating my portfolio here on DTS, giving potential clients a comprehensive view of my past work. It was a bit of a nostalgic trip, revisiting projects I hadn’t thought about in a while, but it was also incredibly rewarding to see how much I’ve accomplished over the years.
Discussion and Planning
In addition to the hands-on work, there were important discussions about the direction of the site and future plans. ChatGPT explored ideas with me for offering new services or products, and how to best present them. These conversations are laying the foundation for the next big steps, ensuring that everything is aligned and ready to move forward.
Final Thoughts
Though it might seem like a quieter day, Day 5 was a crucial part of the journey. It was about taking stock, organizing, and preparing for the next phases of my sites’ development. Sometimes, these quieter moments of reflection and preparation are just as important as the big, flashy steps forward. As the work continues, I’m confident that these small yet significant adjustments will pay off in the long run.
