Website Build
This was a basic WordPress website build, though the new thing for me was that it had the plugin Electron added on top. Electron is a drag-and-drop page editor that is built for WordPress sites. The client wanted the ability to update and maintain the site once we built it and handed it off to them, that is where Electron came into play.
Hanson Inc.
Website Build & Maintenance
This was probably one of the most fun builds I have ever done at Hanson. I got to lead this project and since it was our website we got to be a bit more experimental than we normally would with a client's site due to budget. I used the new WordPress Gutenberg editor to declare custom blocks that I integrated with the plugin Advanced Custom Fields. This allowed me to create highly custom blocks that appear in WordPress as a couple of fields. The reason I took this approach was so that our designers could build more advanced pages without having to find time to have a developer help them build a new page when they needed one.
