Introduction
Hello again
I've been working with an existing Perch site this week by adding a product section with categories. As a result, I've been reading up on Perch Categories, there's a link below. After starting the work, I realised that I'd developed a similar system on one of my personal sites and that was also a real help on the new project.
Personal sites might seem like a diversion sometimes but they are incredibly useful. I've always been able to re-use code and transfer knowledge to other sites from personal projects. And Perch and its template system is well-suited to that.
Anyway, hope you like these links. See you next time.
How Do I?
Using Perch Shop to develop an online booking system
This is a great article about building a system to handle swimming holiday bookings where the customer pays 20% to secure their place and pays the remaining balance nearer the time of the holiday.

Designed and coded a site for my fiancé in less than a week on Perch! I was particularly pleased at how easy it was to create the Unsplash-influenced categories at the top in Perch. All dynamic!

Building a List/Detail Portfolio with Categories
This tutorial about categories and building a list/detail portfolio was a useful refresher for me. It's for Perch 2 but the code and underlying principles are the same for Perch 3.
