This one is yours.

Fifi Designs has a website now. It is empty, and it is yours to fill.

Every word on it now is placeholder text. Replace all of it.

Add your own photographs. Write it in your own words. You do not need to ask me first.

What needs doing

  1. Photographs. The downstairs of Archbishop Street first — the doorway looking through to the vaults. Then everything else you have.
  2. The words. Write it the way you would explain it to a client across a kitchen table.
  3. What you actually offer. Full restorations? Consultations? Sourcing? Say it plainly.
  4. How people reach you. The address on the site is a placeholder.

Adding a photograph

The folder is /var/www/fifi/assets/work/

The server is 91.99.2.222. Connect to it over SFTP. On a Mac: Finder → Go → Connect to Server, then sftp://91.99.2.222. Cyberduck or Transmit work too. Matt has your username and password — ask him, they are not written on this page.

Drag a photograph into that folder. It is on the site immediately.

There is no deploy. No publish button, no build, no waiting, nothing to click. Refresh the page and the photograph is there. Drag it back out and it is gone. The site reads whatever is in that folder, every time someone loads it.

Order follows the filename, so name them 01-kitchen.jpg, 02-hall.jpg if you want them in a particular order. JPEG or PNG. Any size.

The email address

The site says “Email address to follow.” Here is how to turn on hello@fifidesigns.com so it lands in your own inbox. It takes about two minutes and it is the last thing the site needs.

The mail records are already set up. Only the forwarding rule is missing.

  1. Go to namecheap.com and sign in. Matt has the login.
  2. Click Domain List, find fifidesigns.com, click Manage.
  3. Click the Advanced DNS tab.
  4. Scroll down to Mail Settings. It already says Email Forwarding. Leave it alone.
  5. Underneath it there is a small table. Click Add Forwarder.
  6. In Alias type hello. In Forwards to type fionat@fionaburgess.com.
  7. Click the green tick to save.
  8. Wait five minutes, then send yourself a test from your phone to hello@fifidesigns.com.

You can have as many as you like — hello, fiona, studio. They can all point at the same inbox. Use fionat@ rather than fiona@; the second one has bounced before.

If any of this goes sideways, paste these steps into ChatGPT and ask it to walk you through. That is a perfectly good way to do it.

AI4ALL

You are already on it. Module one down.

When the exam offers you a subscription, take ChatGPT rather than Copilot. You cannot change it afterwards.

Stuck at any point: ai4all.mdia@mdia.gov.mt, +356 21828800, or freephone 153, option 4.
