Experience
Customer Allocation Form
I developed a WordPress website designed to handle form submissions from clients around North America. Each client was mailed a promotional flyer with a QR code which they could scan and then complete the online form. Each QR code was custom to the client and would take them to the site, pre-populating their information in the form. The site was built with specific client requirements and to handle submissions from over 11,000 clients across North America.
Real Estate Website
I built a real estate website in WordPress according to client specifications and requirements. The website connects to an MLS API to pull data for their listings and the listings within the area. The site has to be able to handle the API not being available in order to not remove listings from the site inadvertently.
Squarespace to WordPress Migration
https://updater.comI assisted the client with moving a site off of Squarespace (SS) onto WordPress (WP). This included converting the SS styles to a WP theme and converting content formats in SS to WordPress content types. I worked alongside the client to ensure all content had been ported to the new WP site.
