Big Top Multimedia
The placement with Big Top Multimedia was both challenging and rewarding. It furthered knowledge that I already had in the areas of web development, client support, media editing and programming in HTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX, WordPress (WP), WP Themes and WP plug-in integration/programming. I also learned how to network with clients both on and off site, to ensure that their needs were met. Doing this work I was involved in the ongoing maintenance of client websites and ezines. Tasks in the support role, varied from problem solving issues to changing and redesigning websites to meet client requires. Because WordPress is an “off the shelf” solution for managing websites, most of the clients I engaged with required some level of basic training in how to update their websites using WordPress, having assisted in training people in how to use WordPress I was able to further improve my explanation of technology to laypeople and improve my communication skills greatly. The experience of web-based technologies gained at Big Top Multimedia motivated the desire to gain further experience in different areas of the IT industry.
