Practicum: Day 11 - 15 recap

It has been a busy week at my practicum and I feel like I have totally melted my brain by the end of today.

I had been finishing up some interactive elements and plugins for the project I've been working on.

The tabs on the homepage now have a cover triangle that move to whichever tab is active =D

And this took sooooo long to figure out, but isotope is finally working on the website and now visitors can filter the website's projects by location AND type. Woohoo!

Another brain-cell killing problem was when the carousel gallery was not working the way it was supposed to; images would not load until half way on the page, the slider would sometimes have an enormous height... and some other problems. The good news is that we have fixed all of this now!

I did get some breaks from coding here and there, editing some graphics and doing some data-entry tasks, but for the most part, my week consisted of staring at screens that looked like this:

Something special that happened this week though, was that I got the chance to tag along with my practicum supervisor to a meeting with a client and the web marketing specialist. I felt like a little baby learning to walk while I was in that meeting... I had no idea how little I knew about web marketing until the meeting. I was glad I got the opportunity to sit in =)

I feel like it was such a fulfilling week because we have finished 98% of the project I've been working on - 1% because we are lacking content, the other 1% is because we have not implemented the SEO and web marketing tools yet.

The other big project I have been helping my colleague out on is officially live now! Compared to what my colleagues have done, I feel like what I have done to help is almost nothing because it was such a big project.

Anyway... TGIF!
It's time to get some rest =)
