Wips is a local news website from Bahia Blanca, Argentina, aimed at young people. I have been part of this project since the beginning, taking care of the whole development, maintenance, updates and upgrades, security, hosting, etc.

http://www.shellbahia.com.ar/estaciones/
I converted the designs from PSD to HTML/CSS using Bootstrap as the responsive framework, then added and integrated many plugins, like sliders, animations, validators, and more.
The project also has an admin panel for uploading news and updating the site content which was made by us.
We gave the client a new and renovated design and perspective from what he had in the past.

Commit100

http://www.commit100.com/
I took the Photoshop design file, made by a third party, and converted it into a fully functional and responsive HTML and CSS code—including a lightweight slider, developed exclusively for the client.
He wanted the code and libraries to be light-weight so that we could speed-up the loading process.

Artium Website

http://www.artium.com/
The client wanted a new website to update his prehistoric website. He wanted to include some features for enhancing the communication with their clients.
I approached the design by myself—basing my work on some sites and themes that the client stated he liked. The main site is developed using WordPress with the Avada theme for the front-end. It also has some special sections for logged-in users, provided by the Customer Area plugin.

Argentina Crossing CMS

We created a CMS using CodeIgniter as a framework and tailored it to the clients' needs. It allows our client to administer their users, clients, clients' accounts, and to create automatic commissions, payment invoices, prospects, user groups, roles, and many other tailored modules.
It helped our client to enhance its productivity and grow their users, since it automates many parts of their business and allows everyone to access the data and the tool via the web.
