• Lead weekly status meeting with project stakeholders to ensure correct implementation of UI components as outlined in detailed change request documents

Human Interfaces hired me to implement key changes to their WordPress website as a result of resistance from the original design firm.

CLIENT: Brittany Renner (@bundleofbrittany)

KEY TASKS

• Full WordPress installation
• Full theme customization
• Developed the content strategy by integrating Genesis Framework and theme, JW Player Video CMS and Cart66 eCommerce plugin (shopping cart and member subscriptions)
• Managed and worked side-by-side with a full stack developer to create the app wrapper for the WordPress content core
• Created all content using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro

 

OVERVIEW

When I originally pitched an app idea to Brittany Renner’s management team they had technical concerns surrounding content updates. I eliminated their concerns by re-pitching the app as a hybrid app with a WordPress backend to manage the updates. I simplified the UI of a StudioPress responsive template to give the site a better user experience as a standalone app. Later I intergraded a shopping cart and member based content-dripping into the WordPress backend.

Rhonda’s Cooking wanted a new website that was clean, responsive and had the same creative direction as their award winning cookbook. I was also tasked with finding a way for Rhonda, the CEO, to add new posts via Instagram so she doesn’t to post on two platforms.

 

CLIENT: Black Spades Game

KEY TASK

OVERVIEW

Konsole Kingz needed a clean website for their game, Black Spades. The goal of the site was to be a destination for users to select the correct mobile store for their phone and to provide information to users that wanted to learn more about the game. I selected a Studio Press product branding WordPress theme and customized it with Black Spades branding and assets. Above the fold the site acts as a splash page, while below it’s more informative.
