Knot ⤱ Shore – Microsite

Usually, when I’m given an objective for a project, I have ideas that I can run with. This project was not one of them. The project’s name, Knot Shore, is the result of me literally not being sure of what I wanted to do my project on.

The objective of the project was to create a microsite for a fictional brand with an existing company as I client. The microsite was to include a “top ten” list of features from that company. After finally deciding on my project theme, I chose Royal Caribbean as my “client”, although the site is not affiliated with the brand.

My project theme was about the top ten things to do on a Royal Caribbean Oasis Class ship. I created the site entirely in code with HTML, CSS, and PHP. PHP was my biggest hurdle in this project. My goal was to get over that hurdle. The process of creating the site with PHP was a roller coaster, but a great learning experience nonetheless after spending three hours on Zoom with my professor on how to do the site in PHP. The final site is something I will always tell the story of, and it came out much better than I ever imagined when I started. Knot Shore will become a model for future projects that absolutely need to include PHP. Otherwise, it will be shown as my favorite project I’ve ever done.
