Sangomar2012.com is a website I created for a friend. This website was created on Senegal presidential election occasion to engage the senegalese youth to vote!
I am certainly not a developer, but I really cannot hold on looking into the code, trying to code some stuff myself particularly as WordPress is really easy-going and flexible and also because my companion is web developer… so if I mess things up – as it often happens he could say – he can fix it!
Anyway, don’t want to bother you with my personal life, I just wanted to introduce my last “freelancer” website project Sangomar2012!
One of the reason why, I’ve been kind on lazy those last weeks on the blog, I was doing a website WordPress based for a friend. My friend choosed a wordpress compatible template + his domain and I took care of setting up the website for him. In few words, it was for me the occasion to build from scratch a website with WordPress (except for my blog).
-
– From my friend/client point of view, this website was meant to promote and engage young senegalese to vote during the last election. As you may know, we just get the final results a few days ago.
-
– From a webmarketer point of view, the main goal of this website is lead generation that’s why I put my effort in making the newsletter subscription form prominent and redundant but not too overwhelming. I used both Google Feedburner email & RSS feed functionalities and also a simple php based form.
I tried to gather the best WP plugins for his needs and also for my curiosity, here is the list of plugin I used to implement the functionalities needed according to the website main objective.
- Google Analytics for WordPress, impossible for me not to… I’m too curious
- Really simple Facebook Twitter share buttons
- HeadSpace2, for SEO purpose to customize page title, description…
- SEO Smart Links, also for SEO pupose a great plugin to promote internal links
- Simple Google Sitemap XML
- Google Feedburner
Very few compared to the list of plugins I’m using for this blog ! This website is my very fisrt one on my own, please feel free to comment, to criticise as long at it can help me to improve…
Allow me to make an aparthe, I’m pretty happy that I spend some time on this website as besides being one of my friend website, this website echoed my personal opinion about why vote is important!
