Hey there again!

You probably read a little about me on the Homepage or in the Portfolio sections. Here you can learn more about the story behind this website and the technology that I used to build it.

Welcome to Zarapalevani.com, my very own digital sanctuary. I’m beyond thrilled to share with you the story of this website, which is a labour of love built entirely by yours truly. 😊

My passion for building websites and working with technology began with a great mentor at my second job. My mentor empowered me with the confidence and courage to explore and experiment with technologies of all kinds. Zarapalevani.com was a special project to me and, although I’m not a developer, I used my best skills to make it a success.

This website is my way of giving back to tech enthusiasts who don’t have access to a CMS or data-tracking platform. It provides a space to test and experiment as they learn and explore their career path, just like the mentorship I once received.

To make this website the best it could be, I chose WordPress CMS as my trusty foundation. Its flexibility and user-friendly interface allowed me to shape my vision into a reality.

But that’s not all! I’m all about data-driven decisions, so I integrated powerful tools like Google Analytics and Piwik for data tracking. This helps me understand how visitors interact with my site and refine the user experience.

And let’s talk about deployment! I employed Google Tag Manager, which acts as my handy assistant for deploying tags. It’s all about making things smooth and efficient behind the scenes.

Oh, and who doesn’t love organic search optimization? With Google Search Console in my toolkit, I ensure that my content reaches its audience organically and effortlessly. I want everyone to discover Zarapalevani.com.

As much as I cherish the digital realm, I also prioritize user privacy and compliance. That’s where CookieYes comes in, making sure everything is GDPR compliant.

But wait, there’s more! I’m all about creating meaningful connections with visitors, which is why I use HubSpot forms for seamless form submissions. And for those moments when real-time interaction is essential, HubSpot chat is at your service, offering instant availability to chat with me.

The journey of creating Zarapalevani.com hasn’t been without its share of ups and downs. I’ve encountered moments when the website broke down or went offline, and I had to muster my problem-solving skills to get it back up and running. It was a challenging experience, but those moments of troubleshooting and learning have made me grow my problem-solving skills in an area that I don’t directly specialize in.

In the process, I’ve also turned to HostGator for domain registration, which has provided me with a reliable platform to anchor my website.

Zarapalevani.com is more than just a website; it’s a reflection of my passion, dedication, and love for technology. I’m here to share, inspire, and learn.
