Jake’s Work Placement Week 1
I’m currently on my first week at the Village Web Company, during this week we have explored ways that we can help the company using our current knowledge whilst learning new skills and tools such as WordPress.
This weeks projects
Currently we have had the opportunity to work on a few projects since we are settling into the company for our first week.
- Village Blog Post
- Programming Free Web Challenge
- Learn more about WordPress
During this, I decided to try and make a few additional things to see if I could make a few tools that could be useful for the company.
Bulk Image Optimizer
During a conversation within the office we discussed images in regard to how clients would provide images for websites, this lead the conversation down the path of how large images on the web can slow down a websites performance.
I decided I could make a bulk image optimizer which would allow you to optimize a large amounts of images at once using the command line.
Bootstrap Column System Recreation
During the first week of the placement, we discussed tools and frameworks that can be used within the front-end of a website to assist a developer with creating a website that looks professional.
After a while we was talking about recreating the column system which is used to space content out on a website, currently I’m working on making this.
Help Desk Prototype
During our first week we discussed about creating a help desk prototype which would be used to help organise support tickets, currently this would just be a prototype to see if this idea would be useful for the company.
