A few small-to-medium sized WordPress theming, campaign and site projects, mostly from my time at BCIT. My experience also spans the management and customization of a network blogging platform.

BCIT News
Additionally, they needed to start with about 220 of their old stories, with all old URLs redirecting to the new ones. Plus, they needed access to all the old content in a separate, new publicly-inaccessible archive, so they could continue to import stories on a case-by-case basis if needed. There was a lot of moving, renaming and redirection going on.
Scope
- four categories
- more simplified page layouts
- more striking imagery and clearer CTAs
- more prominent featuring of student bloggers stories
- 200 post content/media migration
What I Did
- full IA redesign
- responsive child theme design & customization
- site build
- project & client management
- cloning, duplicating and redirecting strategy for content
- seed content import, URL redirection, media migration and related issues
The new site is available here, while the old Update blog has been archived for staff access only.

2016 BCIT Open House Site & Program Guide
Similar to 2012, this project was low on upfront analysis, but this time it was because of having a better idea of what we were doing and the decision to leverage some fairly slick WordPress plugin-ry. There were also other gamification (neartuit) and wayfinding features of the live event, which the site had to accommodate and promote.
What I Did
- child theme design & customization
- site build
- display filtering & registration form interaction design
- project & client management
- oversee implementation & customization of Gravity Forms and The Events Calendar plugins for enhanced functionality
This event has now passed, and is no longer available online.

Campaign Sites & Landing Pages
These are some recent smaller, one-off marketing projects. Primarily layout, CSS and branding.
As with most of my recent WordPress work, these projects usually include using and customizing plugins such as Gravity Forms, The Events Calendar and often the GeneratePress theme framework.

Older Agency Client Themes
These are going back some time, before I was at BCIT and long before WordPress became the full CMS it is today. I’m just including these to demonstrate that I’ve been working with the platform since its early days.
No trickery on these old sites. Back in the day, I’d typically do a completely custom one-off theme based on Kubrick or something, with full CSS from scratch and hand-coded complex custom templates.
