About Beaux Voyages Alex

The website "Beaux Voyages Alex", is a personal project (demonstration site), designed for people who wish to become bloggers, content creators, influencers and make a living from their activity, thanks to partnerships.

The challenge

In this project, Alex wishes to share his travels and monetize his blog, initially via affiliation. To do this, he must create his website, attract visitors and develop partnerships.

Alex is very active on social networks. More particularly on Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.

Please note: "Beaux Voyages Alex" is a fictitious project, therefore the links shared are not real affiliate links.

Fonts

For the logo creation, I used Gruenewald Va. And for the website, I used Arima Madurai for the titles, and Montserrat for the body of the text.

Arima Madurai, is a very creative and elegant font, ideal for titles. Gruenewald Va, is also an original font. Moreover, this font is bold, with diagonal and horizontal lines. Montserrat is classic, timeless, it inspires sympathy with its round letters while giving a serious tone.
