Homework Help For Kids is a free website helping children between the ages of 7 - 14 with their homework. It does this by providing information in History, Geography, RE, Science, Spelling Punctuation and Grammar (known as SPAG) and basic Maths.

I created the first version of Homework Help For Kids back in 2012 on a free drag-and-drop website builder called Stinge Site Builder. I set it up because I wanted to help other children with their homework.

The website quickly became very cluttered as I was limited to a fixed amount of space on 15 pages. So naturally, I started looking at other options. In 2015, I set up a free WordPress website on WordPress.com.

A year later, in 2016, I bought my first domain name - homeworkhelpforkids.co.uk, along with a managed WordPress hosting plan with a different hosting provider.

As I learned basic HTML and CSS, I started customising the colour scheme and typeface used by the theme I had installed. But in 2020, I decided that the website needed a refresh.

In early 2020, I started redesigning the Homework Help For Kids website and developed a custom WordPress theme based on some page mock-ups I had created. I also redesigned the Android and Windows versions of the Homework Help For Kids app.

The redesigned version of Homework Help For Kids went live on the 17th April 2020. Because of nationwide school closures, there were more visitors to the website and app downloads than there had ever been in the website's history, with a 23% increase in website visitors compared to 2019.

I still maintain the website and add new content based on suggestions made by those who visit it.
