WordPress Developer in Pittsfield, MA, United States

A web app for financial firms and advisors to quickly onboard new clients. I was the lead developer, consulted on the app, and worked with a variety of APIs to pull in/push updated client details so all services could stay in sync with the latest information. This tool saves firms hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars a year and can be completely customized for the firm's needs.

I created a new Gatsby website (from a design created in Adobe XD) with Contentful as the CMS/back end and a custom functionality via Netlify Functions, all integrated with AWS services and Cognito.

I implemented a new website design (created in Adobe XD) as a fresh WordPress website using a custom theme and provided additional functionality/plugin development and custom integration with HubSpot.

A retailer of fine rugs and antiques, Solomon's Collection and Fine Rugs was early to join the internet game. While they had images of some of their rugs online, they desired a true eCommerce, online showroom solution that was product-oriented rather than brand-centric.

We referenced all of the major successful online retailers. We used them as models, dissecting how their products were set up, different view and page types, flow, design, structure, and user interface across devices.

Then, pulling the most common and significant features from these models, we designed and developed a custom Shopify theme.

Since the new website has been live, we have received a lot of interest in licensing the theme and bringing it to the wider world. Solomon's reports rave reviews, and their visitors are enthusiastic about the website's usability and overall feel.

I provided custom functionality and bug fixes for the Pelsue website, including adjustments to custom plugins and integrations. I also consulted on and helped architect an additional functionality to be added to the roadmap.

Consultations on and implementing Artscope's latest ad campaign have resulted in positive revenue.

Developed a new website for songwriter, producer, and creator Robby Baier.

This design needed to incorporate the many different sides of Mr. Fisher, balancing flexibility to showcase his different types of work while simultaneously representing a unified brand. He reports positive reviews from visitors.

Developed an interactive website for Christie Allen, a writer, creator, and author.

The key was creating an experience to showcase Ms. Allen's work in an interactive way while also showing a piece of her in the overall design. She reports that the final product has generated interest surrounding her work from target audiences and leads to potential collaborators and "the powers that be" in her various fields of work.

Designed and developed an interactive drawing program for artist Rex Detiger.

This development was the foundation for Rex's "Rex Sends Me Postcards" project. Users draw and type on a virtual "Postcard," which Rex then receives and mails a paper copy. He continues to receive submissions, showing the project to be alive and well.
