Website Project
Camp Overflow Website
Objective
Camp Overflow is a recreational campground that I have been camping at since 2010. In the summers of 2017-2020, I worked there as a campground staff member, so I became close with the owners. They had often complained that their website looked outdated and were looking to get it redone. The summer after I stopped working there, I offered to make a new website to modernize their presence and challenge myself to try something new. I spent the rest of the summer learning design principles, how to develop a website using WordPress, and basic HTML/CSS.
My contribution
I designed a new logo for the Camp Overflow brand using Adobe Illustrator. This logo was used across the website and on future merchandise. I then wireframed the website using Adobe XD to create a visual guide for development. Using WordPress, I developed the website so that it included all desired features. Since some components required custom HTML/CSS, I taught myself the basics through online courses and applied them to the website. Finally, I deployed the website using cPanel.
Results
Although the camping season had not yet begun with the new website, I received over 50 positive comments from current campers.
The owners were also very pleased with the outcome, and we look forward to seeing the impact it makes in upcoming seasons.
