project
Info
In order to take advantage of a content marketing strategy, I decided to build a blog. The goal of this project was to build a platform that allowed me to create content in an efficient manner. This platform needed to be easy to navigate on the back end, and still boast fast page load speeds to maximize any SEO efforts built into the site. Another feature of the site is an email gathering funnel to build an email list for marketting purposes.
Because of the nature of a blog, this site is built as a decoupled architecture website that displays all of its information from data that is retreived from a content management system that is used as a platform for creating blog posts. The content needed to update on the website whenever it was modified on the back end.
