About

How it was

Probably, the most complex project so far. The site was built on Python and needed to be migrated to WordPress. Except of the main site, there are dozens of "microsites" - totally separated 1-2 landing pages not connected to the main site. However, everything should be manageable from the dashboard using my page builder. The latter has more than 30 blocks, and it's not the end. In addition, there are some third-party APIs implemented into the theme.

Features

Behind the scene

Custom Page Builder

Regular third-party page builders (even premium) slow down the site a lot.

I implement my own page builder based on a WordPress plugin called Advanced Custom Fields Pro which allows me creating a set of reusable page blocks keeping the same flexibility without any damage to site’s performance.

You can create new rich pages using those blocks based on your design.

Theme Options Page

Custom themes I create have a special page with theme options where you can manage sitewide such things like social network links, contact details, add some pieces of code into header or footer (e.g. for activating Google Analytics metrics) and more.

There is a default set of options, but if your site needs some special ones – they’ll be there!

WordPress CMS

The site is built on WordPress CMS which comes with the power of creating new pages, blog posts (separated by categories and tags), extending the site with third-party plugins and much more.
