For Before the Wall, I was asked to create a website to hold and organize the resources from the book. The goal was to make it easy for people to find and use these materials, without the website being about promoting the book. My job was to look at the old website, build a new one, and design it to be simple and easy to use.

What I Did
  • Built the website from scratch, including writing the code and setting everything up.

  • Designed a simple, easy-to-use website that helps people find what they need.

  • Organized Grady Clay’s journal in order by date and added side tabs to make it easy to scroll through the notes.

  • Created simple features so the website was interactive but still easy to use.

Challenges

A big challenge was organizing Grady Clay’s journal. The notes were all mixed up, so I put them in order by date and added tabs on the side to help users scroll through them. The simple design helped keep the focus on the important content.

Achievements

The website is now a clear, easy-to-use archive where people can look at the book’s resources. This project helped me learn how to organize information and make it easy for people to use.

How Rewarding It Was

This project was very rewarding because I got to help create something important. Michael was really happy with how the website turned out and thanked me for my help in making the project a success.
