Management: I will supply you with an AWS account and Ubuntu Web Server in an unconfigured state. You will be responsible for uploading the content and taking it live to the public facing IP. Once the site is live and tested on the major platforms/devices/browsers the project will close.

Frameworks: No proprietary frameworks or dependencies are to be used in the development of the site. Your code will need to work on a LnMP stack ( Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP ) as that is the web server that I will be building and the environment that WordPress runs on.

Testing: Functional Testing needs to be performed on the major platforms: Windows 10 [IE, Chrome, Firefox], MacOS High Sierra [Safari, Chrome, Firefox], iOS [Safari], Android [Chrome]. Site needs to render without error, display uniformly according to design, render mobile version where appropriate [hamburger must function smoothly ], and allow smooth navigation in each instance.

WordPress: I will setup the wordpress instance but the design will be required to fit around it. Once the wordpress instance is up and live, you will take the design reigns. 

Design:  Front page, About page, Projects page, 404 page, Mobile rendering: I will supply you with the graphics, a general design plan and you will create a mockup via a graphics program and I will review it before we execute on the final design. You will allow for up to three iterations. The code will be written from scratch ( or at least independent of frameworks ) such that it will have portability independent of any platform technologies like Ruby, for example. Navigation will be available across a top-bar, down the side and on the bottom. CSS font layouts are TBD. To create the mockup, we will do a screenshare of some type and use a whiteboard to transmit ideas for how the site will look.

Design of the site will follow these sites:

Danielmiessler.com – [ overall styling, this is a good simulacrum, but my site will have no front page like this one… ]
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/  [ use font from this site ] – no black topbar though… 

Image will go in top right hand corner. That image will represent 25% of the width of the page. The remaining 75% will have the title of the site in a top bar that you create. Use your own design idea — the title of the site is “The Secure Method”. Just type the words in and frame it up.

The frame of the site will be divided up along the left edge of the corner graphic. Below the corner graphic will be a side bar that will have other content that has not been finalized yet. Please use the graphic sent to Bill for reference. The background will be plain white.

please visit the above sites to get a feel for the design elements that have been assumed.

External API calls/ Analytics Frameworks / Dependencies: NO! Boo!!!!! If I am on the box and I pull up the site using http://localhost and the box has no internet connection, the site should fully render. There will be no dependencies built into the site at all.

Extensibility: I will need to be able to add pages to the site and respective navigation modules as they are needed independent of you. Part of this project will be to create a page template that can be duplicated and titled as needed with instructions for how to add a reference o the new page into the navigation as needed.

Documentation: I will need a written artifact describing the design of the site. A few paragraphs will do Im sure.

Final Deliverable: Final delivery will be achieved once the site is up on the aws instance and platform testing has been verified.
