project 4 in RED Academy was the most challenge so far. We worked for two week to build this custom theme site.
##About the Inhabitent Suply Co. Site
This site is for a company that sells traveling products online. this site is a custom site which means the company can change the products, the prices, the about page content, and the journal posts too, without going back to the developer.

We start out theme with the underscore theme starter. we start with building a custom post type for the product that will be sold using the website. we build 4 main pages in this theme. first page is the front page that has a hero image , adventure articles and shopping link categories. another page for the blog posts with several ranked articles. a custom about page, the user can change the hero image and the content of the page. the forth page is for shopping through the whole products.
It was really challenge to work with Wordpress. but through this project I learn how important it is to make out websites more dynamic, the user can change and update freely. The famous loop in wordpress was something I really found helpful. through it we only design one post or one comment and the all the design will apply to all the page.
