The thoughts behind this article piece stem from a desire to share my journey with the world. This story will become part of the legacy I leave behind, a mark that remains even as time brings inevitable change, for change is the one constant. Knowing that something can start one day and come together over time has fueled this journey. Through this process, I turned to what I’ve always sought: information, research, and knowledge. These have been my sources of strength, along with an understanding of my own endurance and the drive that kept me awake during long nights of building the SilverEagle Jewelry website structure. Though the HTML and CSS coding structure remains a work in progress, I’ve continued learning, implementing, and relying on a powerful tool in web development: the content management system.
The Power of WordPress in Building SilverEagle Jewelry
Using WordPress has been transformative, helping me establish and maintain the SilverEagle website, now live and active online. This content management system has become central to the site’s development and an essential part of my work on other websites as well.
Building a Silver Jewelry Business: The SilverEagle Journey
A journey that began with writing simple HTML and CSS code on my 2013 MacBook has grown into something much larger. This MacBook, as you may know, was stolen from my small apartment, but that didn’t stop me from pursuing my dream. Today, we’re on our way to becoming one of the biggest local silver jewelry businesses in Donna, Texas, United States. With the support of the Watchman and his family, we are driven by a shared vision to make SilverEagle Jewelry a success.
The Foundation: Building SilverEagle Jewelry Website
Creating the SilverEagle Jewelry website was a process aimed at sharing our journey, providing a resource for aspiring entrepreneurs, and demonstrating the power of dedication. Setting up a successful business is time-consuming, but experience is invaluable in any venture.
Step-by-Step Setup: From Hosting to a Functional Website
- WordPress Installation: Using Harmonweb’s starter hosting plan, I installed WordPress through the Softaculous link in the Cpanel.
- Design and Layout: I carefully structured the site’s view for desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. Pages were added to the menu, including essential sections like the shop, account page, and more.
- Shop Setup: Our shop page, accessible at silvereaglejewelry.com/shop/, allows customers to view and purchase our jewelry collections.
- Account Access: The account page lets users register and log in as customers or admins, providing flexibility in managing the site.
- Contact Us Page: With Contact Form 7, we set up a form for customer inquiries, making it easy for users to reach out.
