Seek for a Tutor on generatepress WP B2B website Dev
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
GenerateX, or GenX, is my personal abbreviation of the combination (which are really too long in spelling that challenges my patience): generatepress (premium) + generateblocks (plus). Yes, I bought them.
PART-I:
My Preparations now:
1. My major was online marketing, which means I was not a computer science major. All my acquired computer related skills are from my self-studies.
2. I have some outdated knowledge in xhtml4 + div + css2.0 (around 2007), and some knowledge in html5 + css3. I can still build simple website from scratch hand coding without using CMS.
3. I have a basic understanding of what a CMS is, and I keep watching the dev of different CMS from WP to Drupal.
4. I am able to deploy local dev environment with WAMP/XAMPP (not the prevailing wplocal, which was restricted to connect to the web in my country). Then I can put the wp cms into it and run it with generateX installed within minutes.
5. I can open phpmyadmin and create new db, and I can even recall my knowledge in MySQL and use Navicat alike tools to manage MySQL - But I doubted it irrelavency to this tutoring project.
6. I can even get some (early) starting work of customizing my own theme (the theme's info, colors, global styles/site title styles, typography) with a freshly installed WP website.
7. If Operating System matters to our journey, then please use Windows system rather than MacOS. Now I'm using Win11, despite I can use VirtualBox to run different linux distributions.
8. For editor choice, I can use the popular VSCode, or Sublime Text, whilst I am also a fun a vim (just gvim). I can use Markdown as well.
9. I am willing to learn. For example, js and php.
PART-II:
My Puzzlement to be solved now:
1. After installing generateX, I don't know how to start the web design work. I can do nothing but just look at the screen anxiously. For example,
1) what is the width of the content, 1200px? Why?
2) Where should I start to put CSS codes into? I wish to start css coding by setting *{margin:0;padding:0;box-sizing:border-box}. Where Should I start?
3) How should I play with WP customization to do web design in a professionally ordered manner rather then unordered manner?
4) What's the steps of customizing different "areas" of the homepage, the product info page and so forth. And Why? For example, Why there'd be a "container" in GenX? If I wish to custom it directly from the source code, which file should I target to?
2. I do not know how to handle the device size compatibility in a professional sequence with GenX.
3. I certainly went through the official documentation, which seemed a little bit "abstract" for me. Some Youtube video enlightened me but not too much.
4. I saw some CSS3 effects customizer in GenX. But what if I wish to realize more complexed CSS3 effects? I tried to look into the source code folders but I didn't know where the codes were located. Note: I know I should not place too much CSS3 effects, which will add burdens to a browser.
5. I ran into trouble when in front of flex and grid designs. In the past I just learnt how to swtich from table layout to div layout.
6. For some HTML5 semantic elments, like <section><header><footer>, I also tried to find a way of getting more familiar with, instead of writing <div id="footer"></div> alike codes.
PART-III:
I am seeking for an expert with:
1. a big professional smile after reading my words above.Because you know quite well my problem.
2. insights into the logic behind GenX.
3. successful skills in building website (enterprise info display website) with GenX.
4. patience in guiding a learner to fastly acquire the knowledge of how to design highly customized layout of a website by using generateX.
5. capability of expressing thoughts clearly in English, not too much dialects. I am not an English native but I am willing to learn in this global language.
6. a good sense of SEO oriented web design.
PART-IV:
Remarks:
1. Please DO NOT show me the history of WP, the comparisons between Elementor and Generatepress, or even Oxygen. I know them already from online. Let's just focus on Blocks centered Gutunberg Full Site Editor workflow, starting GenX journey straightforwardly.
2. To make the tutor journey be fruitful, I wondered if you could set up at least two WP sites (for functions comparisons or one for your tutoring and the other for my "homework") in pantheon (or anywhere we can have access to securely) and then we started our zoom meeting with the pantheon site where you've already got installed. We then later can create new pages/posts with lipsum for testing and learning.
3. It would be highly appreciated if you have a "long-run tutoring" state of mind, which means that if our journey is productive, I plan to continue to invite you to instruct me in highly customized B2C website dev and other kinds of website development.
4. Experts in WP, Drupal and modern js framework based web dev are welcome.
PART-V:
Thanks for your patient reading. If interested, please send your sample websites to me with your voice at least 20 seconds.
For the tutoring time, it is preferred to be around 12:30 AM (GMT) to start, and last for around 1 hour per time. In total there'll be three times expected.
