Josh Hall's video: Lessons Learned From a Big E-Commerce Project With Alexis Myers

Ep. 088 - E-Commerce projects are, more often than not, very complex, intricate and full of challenges for web designers. Can you imagine if that was the first project you took on?? Well, that's exactly what one of my web design students, Alexis Myers, experienced :) In this episode, she shares many of her top lessons learned with kicking off her web design journey with not only a big website but a big E-Commerce website to boot. Additionally, it was with a client that was not so "tech savvy" which we all know comes with a host of challenges. The good new is, Alexis stayed patient, persistent and completed this project with flying colors and learned a lot about how to plan, build and launch E-Commerce sites which she shares in full transparency in this episode.
