Overview In Module Two, you activated a theme for your portfolio site in CampusP
Overview In Module Two, you activated a theme for your portfolio site in CampusPress, the web-hosting platform based on WordPress. You also created the written and visual content for your portfolio site in earlier modules. Now, you can develop the individual page layouts using the content you have created. When developing the web pages for your portfolio site, consider the different layout components you will want to include, such as images, text, and a call to action (CTA). In CampusPress, you can add, edit, and organize different page components with the help of content blocks. You can use built-in layout tools such as the Block Editor or add plug-ins like CoBlocks. These plug-ins give you more options and flexibility with your page layouts by adding different types of pre-built content blocks. As you develop your page layouts, remember to apply web design principles and best practices to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of your portfolio site. For example, you should customize the header and footer components to ensure your website is engaging and easy to navigate using the basic format provided in your selected theme as a starting point. You could also consider including a CTA component on the Home page to direct users to your Contact page or your Portfolio page for quick access. Since you’re using a CampusPress theme, your portfolio site will also be responsive, automatically adjusting the layout for display across different devices and screen sizes. However, as you create your layouts, you should continue to check the responsiveness of your layouts and adjust how the pages appear on different screen sizes. In this activity, you will develop the Home and About Me pages. You will use the theme you selected and the content you created in Modules Two and Three to complete the pages. You will iterate on these pages to refine them for the project submission in Module Seven. Directions Create the Home and About Me page layouts of your portfolio site in CampusPress. Add the written and visual content you created in Modules Two and Three to these pages.

Include the link to your portfolio site in this short paper. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Customize the portfolio site’s header components.
