Linux Server Configuration Developer in Charleston, SC, United States

Alvia.com was a complete site rebuild and server re-platform. The client provided a design that evolved as the site became more complex and more features were implemented. The theme is custom built to allow the client maximum flexibility when editing different parts of the site and allows them to make content as well as moderate design changes easily by utilizing advanced custom fields. Without a cumbersome theme that slows down the site or a multitude of confusing plugins, the site runs fast, is easy to use, and gives the client maximum flexibility, saving them money, and more importantly, time.

This theme showcases work done with advanced custom fields, custom post types, and custom built integrations with Mailchimp's and Google's APIs for geolocation.

I built a PHP wrapper for Imgur's anonymous upload API so I could upload images and return a URL for them with ease.

This was a bit of a passion project, that tied into another project I was building at the time for a reservation service.

During my time at Cobble Hill, I built this site for a craftsman from Columbia, SC, who really just wanted to sell a few of his products every month.

To his—and our—surprise, his creations were a HUGE hit, and the demand for his firetools skyrocketed.

This project was the largest WordPress multisite I have ever been a part of creating during my time with The Design Group. At the time that I worked on it, there were only four restaurants and two catering websites, but it still remained an enoormous effort to build it efficiently using child themes so that the site would be fast and each restaurant would have its own look.

At the current point in time, the site has scaled to ten restaurants and caterers, so the use of child themes and the WordPress multisite has been a success in keeping this fast and scalable.

While Smith Spencer is a small site, the development to handle the design was challenging, and I'm proud of the smoothness surrounding the execution of the design. The client let us completely dictate the design process, which streamlined the development process and ultimately made the outcome look great on both mobile devices and normal browsers.

The Burlap Elephant was a small wedding site built during my time at Cobble Hill that showcases some innovative back-end WordPress development to create a flexible framework for the client to add all their media for their wedding galleries and services and to display that content across all devices.
