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.com
I 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.

WordPress Solutions Specialist: Themes, Plugins, and Performance

As a WordPress developer and site maintenance specialist, I performed the following tasks:

• Site maintenance and upgrades: Regularly maintain and upgrade WordPress installations to ensure optimal performance, security, and compatibility with the latest web standards.
• Custom theme and plugin development: Design and build custom WordPress themes and plugins tailored to meet specific client requirements, enhancing site functionality and user experience.
• Code optimization: Review, update, and improve existing codebases to enhance performance, reduce technical debt, and implement modern best practices.
• Theme builder expertise: Leverage existing theme builders (e.g., Elementor, Divi) to create and modify layouts, ensuring seamless design and functionality updates.
• Content management and updates: Manage site content, structure, and features to align with evolving business needs and ensure an engaging, user-friendly experience.
• Problem solving: Diagnose and resolve technical issues, including plugin conflicts, performance bottlenecks, and UI/UX inconsistencies.
• Collaboration: Work closely with designers, content creators, and clients to bring web projects to life, from concept to completion.
