Bespoke Wordpress site
for a digital consultancy

Introduction

Over the years that I worked at Loft Digital we evolved our company website a number of times as our services, focuses and targets changed.

The final iteration that I worked on was, in my opinion, the best of the many iterations! Working alongside our Frontend Lead Sam Scarles, we were tasked with designing and developing a new interface that would continue to use the same Wordpress CMS system under the hood that we had before, plus add a heck of a lot of new pages/templates/features. A new theme was needed...

Solution

I worked closely with Sam to scope out and design the required pages, aiming to deliver a more modern, user-friendly interface that would truly market our team and capabilities to a standard that matched.

Once the designs were finalised, we developed a number of pages that involved defining custom, reusable blocks — as well as plenty of custom post types — to use across the site. These blocks allowed us to maintain consistency across the site as well as put together many new pages at speed, as all blocks — once developed — were configured to be editable within the CMS.

After the site was built and live, it was also my responsibility to develop new pages or blocks wherever needed, fix bugs, and generally enhance the site as required.

Throughout, I relied heavily on my experience using PHP, plugin/Wordpress development, and a keen attention to detail in order to deliver on the project and keep it in tip-top shape over time.

Outcome

I'm very happy with the way the site turned out — as I said in the introduction, of all our iterations we put together this is my favourite and best work.

Thanks to the close collaboration between myself and Sam, we were able to develop a modular site that was adaptable, easy to use, and easy to maintain. What more can you ask for! :)
