WordPress Theme Customization for a Cafe Website: LemonChili

I love it when I get to work with projects customizing WordPress premium themes and helping clients establish their business’ or brand’s online presence.  It hones my skills in WordPress which I first learned with my internship with Sir Jay Pasana. Here is one of my previous project with a client for a cafe website. My tasks were the following:

• WordPress installation – For this project, I had to install it using Filezilla (FTP) since the client’s service provider does not use cPanel.
• WordPress Theme Customization – I customized a WordPress theme which is called LemonChili. It is a premium and responsive WordPress theme which has special features for restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and events.
• Install plugins – Initially, I added just the basic plugins that are needed for a website to function well. There were several server issues and challenges but was able to resolve it through the WordPress Forums. A lot of them are very helpful

• Upload contents – mostly personal photos provided by the client
• Edit images using Photoshop  and resizing it- I edited the background image for an unwanted element as well as resizing photos which are blurry.

Here is a screenshot of the finished cafe website:

Messages from my client, Lee O.

Help me Jaysarie! I give up!  I have no idea how to use WordPress, which is why I have you thankfully. 🙂

Thank you Jaysarie.  That is great.  I am so out of my depth with WordPress!  I guess I expected that it would look just like the LemonChili example and I just had to “remove” pages rather than add them.  The back-end just looks a bit confusing to a 1st-time like me and I know I will waste a lot of time on it.

Having another full time job and doing the café website in my spare time, means it probably won’t get done for a long time!

Thanks you so much!
