Giana Boutique is an online ecommerce store.
Done quite some time ago.
Their [website](https://giana.rayelliott.dev/).
First time using WooCommerce and second time using WordPress to build a site.
Uses pre-existing theme.
Nothing special required.
Main customisations were little bits of CSS to tidy some things up -- created child theme based on a theme from ModernThemes called Exchange.
Plugins used:
* Contact Form 7.
* Cookie Notice.
* Display Posts.
Would most likely write own plugin for this now.
* Hustle.
* iThemes Security.
* MC4WP:Mailchimp for WordPress.
* QuickView WooCommerce.
* UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore
* WooCommerce.
* WP Super Cache.
Would reassess the best plugins available currently, if doing this site now.
Would definitely use a better theme.
Main reason using this is that it was free.
Would now almost certainly develop a child theme based on Storefront.

My first ever WordPress site.
A made up brewery called **MacFarley's**.
So many things I would do different now!

Charles Stantham are a firm of made up solicitors.
Done a while ago.
Their [website](https://stanthams.rayelliott.dev/).
Uses Elementor.
Was before Gutenberg update.
Nothing particularly special.
Some bits of minor customisation via CSS required and so a child theme, based on OceanWP, is used.
Reasons for choosing OceanWP:
* one
* two
* at least three good reasons
Plugins used (with reasons, and what I would probably use now):
* Contact Form 7.
* Elementor.
* Elementor Addon Elements.
* GDPR Cookie Compliance.
* iThemes Security.
* Ocean Extra.
* UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore
* WP Fastest Cache.
* WP Mail SMTP.
Not much to say - a pretty basic brochure site.
The primary purpose is to allow users to discover/get more information about the firm.
Important that site is easy navigable and presents the information in a clean, uncluttered way.
