website. I delivered a new, modern web design and built out the entire website as part of a larger
campaign to improve the Cross Country Parts digital presence & brand awareness.
What I Did
There were a variety of areas in this project that I was directly involved in, which included:
- New site-map and wire-frames were planned to map out the new website structure.
- New web design, which better reflected the brand goals & values of the
business.
- Development of the new website using best-practices front-end development
techniques.
Reflection
This was the largest app project that I had worked at this time, and I took this opportunity to ensure

assumptions and details helped produce a final design that surpassed the client's expectations.
Programs Used
There were quite a few different deliverables, requiring me to be proficient in a variety of different
tools. These included:
- Google Workspace for handling project notes and communication
- Adobe Illustrator to create graphic design assets used in the final web design
- Adobe XD when designing out the new Cross Country Parts web design
- Visual Studio Code as the preferred IDE when developing the site
- ShoutCMS was the web CMS platform used to develop the website on
