Upgraded Hosting to ensure systems can handle future growth and improve user experience while learning 3D.

Redesigned Website design, to not only be inspired by Blenders on UI but to help users navigate to points of interest for learning.

Recorded Levels 1 - 4 and created Subtitles .srt. These levels focus on the introductory skills that you require to use blender.

Hosting for Video content selected based on Criteria of accessibility and security.

Selected a Subscription foundational software that will be the backbone of the service, allowing users to purchase a time period that they have access to the courses and levels to learn Blender.

CMS (Content Management System) set up. Using WordPress for organisational reasons as well as Security Reasons. (While this may at first seem counter-intuitive) It is actually more secure & cheaper than writing a custom CMS (As It is being patched and updated irrespective of this websites development). With our small numbers we would not be able to focus on CMS updates as well as the Course Content.
