I am working on a personal project that I plan to launch in January 2025.
The project is a website on which I will upload one photo and a short text entry every day, creating a daily photo diary.
* Purpose: Launching a personal project website by January 2025. * Content: A photo with accompanying text uploaded daily, functioning as a photo diary. * Organisation: Content will be categorised into daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views. Users can navigate by year, month, and week to explore entries.
I would like the hierarchy of navigation to be intuitive, for example,
* Homepage: Displays the latest daily entry. * Yearly View: A clickable timeline or dropdown menu for years. * Monthly View: Thumbnail grid for each month's photos. * Weekly View: Divided into weeks with corresponding entries.
Where possible, I would like to include a search functionality or filters to allow users to find specific dates or keywords quickly.
Design Considerations:
* Highlight simplicity to keep the focus on your photos and text. * Ensure the site is mobile-friendly, as many users browse from their phones.
Future ideas: * Allow users to subscribe for updates or share specific entries on social media. * Introduce an archive or random post feature for long-term visitors.
The idea came from this website, but I would like a more modern version: https://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/
Please could you share any previous website projects that may be similar, or your ideas (top level), at the same time, could you let me know how long it may be and the approximate cost? It's for a personal project, so the budget is not huge, but I'd love to see what is available.
