the internship seeking activities you are doing
I just had a lengthy video discussion for the second internship opportunity in Oshkosh. I’ll be making a website for a church from scratch; as in, they currently have no web presence at all. So talks of creating a website, along with perhaps social media links, are all being proposed and sorted into a project scope.
the internship work you are doing
At the moment I have an instance of WordPress active to test out the form plugin I’ve chosen, Contact Form 7. Supposedly there’s a bit of a learning curve but I am interested in learning it over other options as I have consistently heard CF7 is free versus other solutions.
the experiences you are having
I’ve made progress in transitioning some of the assets from the existing site to the new site. I’m still working on drafts for layouts and logos, but oftentimes with WordPress I find it best to backup the site and just experiment within the playground. If it works, save a backup and keep moving forward. If it doesn’t, restore the backup. I think this is a better way of drafting ideas because it more accurately conveys the limitations of what is possible with your own skillset and comfort levels of working in a CMS.
mini tutorials or examples of work you did
I’ve been researching Form Plugins to use that are free and experimenting with them to find one that suits the needs of my client. The ones I have seen recommended are:
- Content Form 7
- Ninja Forms
- Caldera Forms
- Formidable
- WP Forms
Do you have any that you would recommend? List them below!
