Topic: HTML / CSS - Websites
Completion: 2010 - 2007
Client / Employer / Training: LCM Oil & Gas
Project Objective:
LCM Oil & Gas (today <https://www.lcmenergy.com>) is a company operating in Libya. Throughout the late 2000s, the company set up a variety of other companies and services including a hotel for expats (Bustan), a recruiting service (El Hamada), Technical Engineering (Teeji). It also ran a real estate project in Morocco (Shemsi) and a water recycling business in UAE (MegaCorp).
All these businesses needed to have a digital presence to promote them. I was asked to create representative websites for each business between 2007 - 2010.
Duration:
I worked on these websites between 2007 - 2010. Each of them took about 2 weeks to 1 month to set up - Web Design was only a side project for me then in my role.

Approach & Steps taken
FrontEnd
Backend
What were the consequences?
I remember I was asked to avoid vertical scrolling, so I set up most of these websites content across pages that would fit into a regular laptop screen that would not require vertical scrolling. Unthinkable nowadays :).
Retrospective
Nowadays, I would possibly use a FrontEnd Builder such as Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace or Softr to set up these sites leveraging the use of portals and databases, and many more services as a backend.
These sites were set up even before Wordpress came into the market.
