Site Requirements
- The site will be based on the content and structure from your basic HTML and CSS site.
- Your site is set up with the GeneratePress theme. You can keep this theme and customize it (tutorial) or switch to another theme by going to Appearance / Themes in the WordPress Admin/Dashboard area. Your site is also set up with commenting functionally removed to prevent spam.
- Your site needs at least eight pages and consistent site navigation. By default, your site is set to display the latest posts, which are posts of some WordPress feature tutorials. You will most likely want to change this to be a static front page (tutorial).
- The WordPress editor (Gutenberg (tutorial)) is based on arranging blocks. There are plugins that will add blocks to the editor, and one of those plugins, Spectra – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks is installed and active on your site.
- Yoast SEO – Yoast SEO is not active by default. Active the plugin from your site’s plugins menu. Use this to conduct a SEO Analysis and Readability Analysis of your site. Save the first report, improve your site where you can, and re-run the analyses. Include both analyses in your assignment submission.
Further instructions on how to run and save the analyses with Yoast SEO – https://webdesign.cci.utk.edu/yoast-seo
- Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker Is installed on your site. You don’t have to necessarily fix any accessibility issues this plugin finds; it might not be possible. This functionality is for informational purposes only.
