WordPress Website - Ski & Summer Resort

Year Round Recreation On The Mountain

A large undertaking: recreate a custom-coded, multipage website for WordPress from scratch! And that's exactly what I did. Here's a rundown of what I tackled:

  • Translate the existing site's design into dozens of new templates and reusable blocks
  • Import/optimize all fonts, icons, and images
  • Build out mega menu using jQuery
  • Create image carousels and uniformly-sized info deck cards
  • Loop through multiple custom post types and queries to populate pages with information about different types of accommodations
  • Convert large collections of content into styled, HTML tables
  • Create dozens of custom post types and field inputs to allow for content management via the WordPress admin panel
  • Fix broken links and improve accessibility attributes
  • Build out sitewide search capability
  • Create and integrate dozens of custom forms
  • Color match each page's elements to the original
  • Onboard training and WordPress usage tutorial
There was plenty of other fine-tuning involved in the process, but that should give you an idea of the undertaking. The goal was to make the new site easier for the client to self-direct, allowing managers to add content and update information directly without needing to dive into the site's codebase. And I think I did just that, and look forward to seeing the final results when the new WordPress build goes live.
