Project: Dungeons & Taverns

The Story

Dungeons & Taverns is the pretty front end to my generator. All public-accessible generators are presented in an easy-to-use website format. Popular social media platforms are integrated for ease of sharing (and to build natural links for SEO).

What I Did

General

  • Installed and configured WordPress 3.5
  • Created HTML5/CSS3 version inspired by an old WordPress 2.0 theme
  • Created Twitter account and Facebook and G+ pages
  • Paid special attention to best SEO practices

WordPress-specific

  • Severely culled extraneous cruft put out by default WordPress and optimized the site for loading speed
  • Installed and configured social media plugins
  • Created generator shortcode custom plugin
  • Created "Recent Posts by Category" custom plugin
  • Custom themed the WordPress login page
