firstRateiT — Business-selling Platform

http://firstrateit.com/
firstRateiT is a business selling platform that delivers ready-made websites with customizing ability. The client wanted to make it easier for startups and small and medium companies to sell their businesses.

I was the only developer working on this platform. I worked on this project for more than one year. On this project, I worked as a full-stack WordPress developer and designer. Also, I helped the client to create functionality logic and improve UX.

We created the WordPress theme and plugin. A bundle allows users to unpack a new business-selling website in a couple of clicks. Users can add their businesses to sell on auction websites built with this theme and plugin. The auction is sealed, and each user has their own wallet.

Multilingual Website for Videographer

https://david-production.com/?lang=en
This showcase website demonstrates the portfolio, which also has a booking feature. This website was created entirely by me. I created the design in Adobe XD, handled the HTML layout, converted the HTML to a WordPress theme, and finally, set up the environment. I took into account the client's desire, so the client was very satisfied.

Custom Elementor Widgets for Resort Site

https://www.kellerjochbahn.at/en/winter/hours-of-operation-prices/
Custom Elementor widgets and Elementor pages. A client had a website built with Elementor. He had many price widgets, and to change prices, he had to go to every page and change them separately. He wanted to manage all prices from one place.

For this purpose, I developed a custom plugin. I created the custom Elementor Widgets. The client already used the ACF Pro plugin, and I integrated it into new Elementor widgets. New widgets have different styles and are responsive.

Now the client can control the prices of the whole website from one page.

Registration Form for easyNova

https://www.easynova.de/epost/signup/
A registration form for an email marketing website. It was an existing website and had users' data on a different server. I deployed a registration form that validates data via API checks on another server if such a user already exists and creates a new user on both servers. The form allows the user to choose between a Business Customer and a Private Customer.

I had close contact with a client and a developer who worked on the other side of the API.

Nika Zhorzholiani Photographer

A website of a famous Georgian photographer. I worked on creating the design and layout, converting it to WordPress. I had close contact with the client, and we went through every step together. The website showcases the client's portfolio and has several ways to display them.

George Mikiashvili Photographer

A photographer site for my brother. He loves minimalism, so I created a minimalist design and converted it into a WordPress website. Also, I added CSS animations to make it look alive. The site is responsive and looks good on all screen sizes.

Gallery for Premium Storage Systems Site

https://paroli.info/
Added gallery and changed some pages. The website is built with YOOtheme, and the client wanted to add a gallery to specific pages. The site is multilingual and has bugs. I developed the gallery, added it to the site, and fixed the bugs.

Mega Menu for a Construction Machinery and Equipment Site

https://www.bauma-riedl.de/
A responsive and interactive mega menu. The client asked me to redesign the existing menu to the mega menu. To archive this goal, I used JavaScript and CSS. Also, I changed the menu structure in the WordPress admin panel, which uses submenus so the client can control the menu from one place instead of multiple menus.

Gallery for Photographer's Site

https://caro-ross.de/
Developed custom elements on an existing website. The client was a German-based photographer who wanted to add a gallery and albums to her site. I was asked to redesign some other elements and fixed bugs, too.

Redesigned a Watch Shop Website

https://www.watchout24.de/
The website is built with Gambio CMS. I redesigned the eCommerce website's many parts, including the header, menu, footer, shop, and single pages. I used only CSS and JavaScript in most cases, but sometimes I changed template files too. Also, I worked on website updates.

Adjustments for a Vehicle Seat Repair Website

https://www.theseatshop.com/
Updated the cart and single pages and provided minor block adjustments for a vehicle seat repair company's website. The website was built using a custom Shopify theme, and I was asked to make changes to the code to fix and redesign some elements.

Subscription Option for a Shopify Shop

https://www.bestbullysticks.com/
Collaborated with Best Bully Sticks, a natural dog treats and chew products shop, and created a single-page subscription widget for their website, which was built using a custom Shopify theme. This feature changes their website prices based on whether the buyer is subscribed. If they are, there should be a 20% discount on the first and a 10% discount on the second order.

Shopify Sore Redesign

https://www.lillyskloset.net/
Created a new design for Lilly's Kloset, a women's clothing store with a predominantly online presence and a boutique in Houston, TX. A client already had an online store and wanted to update it with a new custom Shopify theme. I redesigned the header, footer, search feature, and single and shop pages.
