2.0

  • Redone Photography section to include both Film and Digital collections

  • Redone Homepage to follow contrast to text standards

  • Redone the Commission Request page with multiple choices of payment plans

  • Removed a couple of out of date pages from the navigation
    - as well as removing the commission request option within the contacts tab as there is already a button next to it

  • The menu now has a black gradient to add extra contrast against the multiple kinds of backgrounds that are used on the site

  • AWC Artworks will link to the full versions and will redirect back to the collection page after clicking or tapping the close icon (.com/awc/#/square)

  • The “Legacy Collections” page was added to make the digital art dropdown a little less cluttered

  • Upgrades to Squarespace’s editor allows some awesome page designing abilities and has ultimately allowed a better flow on the homepage
    - these upgrades also included different formatting between Phone and Desktop Versions

  • Collections Added:

    • New Dawn

    • Little Islands

1.9.7

  • AWC Season 3 now includes the square versions. Before you would click the image and it would show the portrait version, but now it redirects to a page with all square versions.

  • Homepage now shows only 1 latest Instagram post, this is to get around the poor implementation of the Instagram feature on the site, I had to refresh the login credentials many times and just got annoyed with it

1.9.6

  • Fixed over 150 grammatical errors within the site (What can I say, grammar is not my strong suit)

  • Added: Commission Requests

1.9.5

  • Compressed the Cluster of AWC Seasons In the Digital Art Tab to “AWC Weekly Art” and made it link to the current season

  • Changed format of the main home screen to compress more info

1.9.4

  • Added a search system for those who don’t feel like navigating through the convenient menu directly to the left of the search button. though it is very wonky and won’t help that much if you are looking for specific stuff apart from collections

  • Extra Gnomes hiding under the sheets

1.9.3

  • Removed the “Donate” button from the top bar; no one used it

  • Added the functionality of “Anchors”. These ‘anchors’ will be used to add quick scroll functions to a page; as of this version, there is only one usable one, and that is on the home page. and the URL to command the Anchor is “/#page-bottom.”

  • Home page “Like what I do” area background now reflects my latest socials post, though this doesn’t change for AWC Artworks as you would see it behind the arc feature section

  • Enabled the “Esc to menu” option. which will bring up the admin login for easy access (for me)

1.9.2

  • Changed “Photography” to “Photo” due to a mobile menu sizing bug

  • Made a new Photography Collection and made then have an “X.0” naming dynamic

  • reorganised a lot of the backend foundation for the site, which includes URL slug restructures like:

    • AWC Slugs are like “/awc/1” for Season 1 and “/awc/2” for Season 2

    • Photography versions are “photography/1” and “/2.”

    • FAQ slug “/faq” is now: “/info/faq.”

    • Projects slug “/projects” is now “/info/projects.”

    • What I use slug “/what-i-use” is now”/info/tools.”

    • AWC slug “/anyone-wanna-chat” is now “/info/awc.”

    • My Workflow slug “/my-workflow” is now “info/workflow.”

    • More About Me slug “/more-about-me” is now “/info/me.”

    • and Why Does This Site Exist slug “/why-this-exists” is now “/info/why.”

    Overall a restructure of the slugs to help contextual navigation via the URL bar.
