Project History
Lakelse Air Website and Mobile App
A CMS-powered site built to showcase imagery of the helicopter services provided by Lakelse Air. This project had challenging objectives to convey the client's vision and balance those with functionality and budget. I developed core elements of CSS and JavaScript that elegantly scale the site from desktop to mobile screen resolutions.

I was asked to put together an accessible, functional, and budget-friendly WordPress site. My primary goal was to provide a site that would perform as well on mobile as on desktop. Here, I created a child theme using Divi.
