Overview
Project 3 required two WordPress installs. One store and one content site. Each install needed its own theme, its own structure, and its own content. I produced both sites and linked them from my Webdev homepage.

Reflection
I learned how to build two separate WordPress setups. I worked with themes, menus, blocks, categories, products, and custom CSS. I adjusted layouts and created a full homepage for each site. I also managed the folder structure on my server.
I hit real struggles. I dealt with missing menus, theme issues, layout bugs, and pages not showing publicly. I had to fix the public view in cPanel which slowed me down. The work was long and the process drained my energy at times. Night sessions made it harder to stay motivated. I kept moving because I wanted a complete project. Every fix pushed me to understand WordPress better.
I am proud of the finished sites. Both meet the requirements and include full content. The store has product categories and a working layout. The blog has multiple posts, a featured section, and custom formatting. I used CSS to clean up spacing and type. I learned how themes behave and how to adjust them fast.
Next, I want stronger control over custom blocks and templates. I also want better speed when troubleshooting WordPress. This project forced me to solve problems on my own and keep a clear head while fixing layout issues. The experience will help me in future builds.
