Research into Wordpress Interface
As I have no experience using Wordpress, I wanted to investigate the interface so that I was familiar with editing the website.
After logging in as an administrator, I first attempted to add a different theme to the already-existing website however this ruined the layout of the page which included the content, imagery, image slider, icons etc.
Initially I thought that the original designer had added code to the back-end of the site which caused this problem. I decided to tackle the moving image carasole as this was causing the main problem to layout. I thought this may have been coded in however I found a plugin I believed was responsible for this feature and decided to de-activate it.
With this removed, the layout looked better but still didn't follow the theme that I had chosen.
Design decisions included attempting to remove images/content/slider to understand how workpress.org worked. On reflection I would have need to learn more prior to using Wordpress.org by either following video tutorials or online courses which would allow me to manipulate the layout and images further.
