Experience
LeadBoost
I was trusted with the development of a custom WordPress theme based on the design provided. I built the templates in HTML/CSS and translated static HTML files into WordPress (PHP). The templates' workflow was controlled by the Yeoman generator responsible for the building process, assets, and CSS.
The WordPress CMS is powered with Advanced Custom Fields Pro, which is a solid base for a user-friendly CMS environment (provides maximum effect and needs minimum effort from the user). For instance, it takes the image-size handling process from the user-side, preventing him or her to worry about the image-cropping and resizing process.
Regarding the content, the website allows two different types: One, where the user is restricted to the information provided in the design; Other, the blog where the user utilizes the native WordPress editor to enter whatever content he or she wants.
The website is mobile-friendly.

Indigo Studio Pilates and Fitness
I was trusted with giving a fresh face to an established fitness and pilates studio.
I designed the main page templates in Adobe Illustrator and created all the studio's identity elements based on the updated website.
Since WordPress was the CMS of choice, I installed the Timber framework as a plugin and used the Twig HTML templating language to create the templates. There was no HTML/CSS stage and I didn't use any PHP. The WordPress theme was crafted in SCSS and Twig files. The whole process was controlled by the Chisel generator (one of the Yeoman generators) which managed the building process of the assets and the CSS.
The website is and will be in continuous development as the studio's owners are quite a dynamic duo.

Octonauts for MiniMini+ and CANAL+
http://www.miniminiplus.pl/minisite/oktonauci/One of my clients is CANAL+ that owns TV channels. The kids' channel, MiniMini+, is one of them.
I often design and develop landing pages for cartoons and toy manufacturers, therefore I was asked to develop Octonauts, an HTML/CSS and PHP landing page of one of their cartoons. The landing page offers some information and digital extras about the cartoon.

Website Administration
I administer the following CANAL+ websites: Domoplus.pl, Kuchniaplus.pl, and Miniminiplus.pl.
Working with the IT team, I make sure that the websites are up and running and that the content is up to date. I also created the graphical assets for the websites and designed the ad campaigns which consist of banners, landing pages, and a contest for the global ad-buying client.
