Experience
Simple Story Video
This WordPress site had many CSS transitions and animations. My challenge was to make them responsive yet fast.
A very interesting part of the project is https://simplestoryvideos.com/pricing/, an estimate calculator fully editable from the back end. Basically, when someone completes the form, it generates a quote based on the user input, creates beautiful PDFs, sends it out to users' emails, and also adds contacts to the HubSpot list. This feature helped the client a lot; all were very happy as their customer is getting a quick quote for their project.
You can see there are many videos on site: I have given the client the option to chose between YouTube, Vimeo, or even upload them on their own.

Personal Site for a Client
https://alexdorward.ca/This is the simple one-page site I built for a client of mine. It's a WordPress site and I built it from scratch. The biggest challenge is the 'My Experience' section: this whole section is editable from the admin side through a really visually appealing management panel, fulfilling all the client's expectations.
Spearhead
https://spearhead.co/This is the simplest and clean site for publishing podcasts. They provided me the design in a Figma file so I created a whole new site and moved all content from the old site to the new one.
The client was uploading podcasts to different distributors and pasting a link on the site. But the challenge now was to upload and run MP4 files on the website, as well as add a custom skin audio player. You can take a look at this feature at https://spearhead.co/blog: click on the play button to check how it's looking good and simple.
The site has two versions, dark and white, that will sync with your device setting: for instance, if someone has an iPhone or a Mac with the night mode on, it will show the dark version.
Because the theme was too good, the client decided to donate it to wordpress.org. They published it here: https://spearheaddemo.wordpress.com/
