Woo Beaver Add-ons for Beaver Builder

I developed a WordPress plugin for Beaver Builder and WooCommerce that allows users to create a single product page template without coding—you can simply drag-and-drop widgets into the Beaver Builder. Users can create a template for any specific category, all product pages, or specific product pages based on location rules. The user is also able to create category page templates.

I maintain this plugin and add new features regularly.

Contest Results Plugin

I developed an add-on plugin for a photo contest. It imports photo contest results from CSV files to websites, gives the option to set jury information, and shows a report on the front end. Contest participants can see and download a PDF of their results from the front end. The administrator can send a report to all participants using the back-end tools that run periodically and are set to automatically send reports to participants. It gives a search option in the report card as well.

I handled all aspects of the development process, including UI design, front-end development, back-end development, and testing.

Photo Contest Plugin

I developed a plugin that offers two options:

1) directly upload photos and make a payment, but you can't edit the uploaded photos;
2) register first on the site and then log in and upload photos.

You can change the photo later until the contest closes. The plugin gives the option to add four to six photos in each section. The plugins have validation rules for photos and two payment gateways (PayPal and Skrill). In the back end, users can add participants, send participant reports to users, and download the participant list using CSV format tools. The participant list is automatically generated every hour based on the time set by the administrator. It also has options for colors, font size, registration validation rules, and a custom UI option in the back end for the front-end sections. I handled all aspects of the development process, including UI design, front- and back-end development, and testing.
