At RSM, I maintained several Wordpress sites, which housed all the landing pages used in marketing campaigns, as well as company info for new business development. Financial Insider Club uses the ‘Newspaper’ theme for a financial services audience. RSM Marketing was a b2b site for new business.
When I would get a winning marketing funnel going, it often made sense to hand code a page I had previously built in Wordpress. Wordpress is a far better option for rapidly building out landing pages, and managing content. But by hand coding the winner, I could remove code bloat, remove jquery libraries, and font downloads, and end up with a bare bones, lightning fast, HTML/CSS lander.
At the YMCA I built a new Wordpress website for Orange County. I also built out a new site for the San Gabriel Valley area, and made significant improvements to the Riverside site. (All part of YMCA OC.) I mainted an internal Joomla site for Y employees. I worked in a fast paced, deadline driven marketing department at the Y.
At iHerb I built out the front end of a brand new tablet website. I also worked on bugs and enhancements to the award winning iHerb mobile website, the iphone app, and android app. I worked on a pure development team with 10 total developers, using Visual Studio with TFS for source control, in a .Net C# environment. Some seriously nerdy stuff.
I designed this site visually in Photoshop and built it on the Joomla CMS platform. You don't have pixel-perfect control visually when you use a CMS. But the functionality you gain is awesome: user groups with varying access levels, rapid creation of new pages, and the ability to assign content ownership to anyone in the company.
Please note: This website was part of a 1 year development grant and is no longer live.
The site you're looking at right now is a great example of what I can create on my own. This site was designed visually in Photoshop, using fundemental graphic design principles. It was coded in HTML, CSS, and some jQuery.
The blog portion of the site is Wordpress powered. I took the default Wordpress theme and customized the CSS and PHP to make it match the portfolio site.
