Checkpoint Five The final checkpoint has us rounding out our website for full deployment, this includes: SEO Calls to action Advanced features In this blog, I will describe most of the changes I made to my website to accommodate this checkpoints marking schedule. Customizations I made a couple design customization in this checkpoint in order to made my website feel more well rounded, the major ones are as follows: Social media buttons: I added a circle around the social media buttons in order to place further emphasis on them and make them catch the eye better.

Hosting In previous checkpoints, I had already uploaded my website, for this checkpoint I uploaded my new pages & content in order to ensure that it behaves properly on the hosting platform. The process of uploading the site itself was simplistic and proved to be a breeze, other than one instance of my new style.css file not properly overwriting the old one from previous uploads, to fix this I had to rename the stylesheet and have my code point to the new renamed one instead. My greatest concern was that my PHP was not going to function correctly on this hosting platform although it worked fine. In other instances, I have had troubl...
