Creative Web Development 

Currently in North Vancouver, Canada.

These are a few projects that i've worked on in the past couple of years. Some of these were built 100% by me, and others as part of a team.

Mud, Sweat & Gears has become one of the larger bike stores in Alberta. I began working there in 2012 as their web-person. At that time the site was using joomla for it's cms and my job was to bring the site into the modern age. I chose WordPress as I was more familiar with it at the time. I built a WooCommerce database of keystone products as there were few migration tools available at the time to export and import the data from the stores POS into the CMS. 

Fast forward to my second year at Overhaul Media, the store had become large enough that they needed to pay more attention to their online sales. I have helped this business scale its' online sales from $0/mo to $a lot/mo. We build this theme out trying to replicate Dawn and follow the new best-practices that Shopify was encouraging at the time. 

This template has a lot going on under the hood.

Best mitts in the biz! This custom Vue/Shopify build was put together for the North Vancouver based glove company a few years ago. The simple layout was designed on the fly. The site was built just as Shopify was launching their content blocks. I built a few of them but I think the site could use a few more. At the time of writing this there are plans to update the site both functionally and aesthetically.

A simple layout to let the products sell themselves. 

The brand has a cult-like following in several countries around the world.

Salmon Arms

This website was built alongside Stitch Creative for their client in Red Deer, Alberta. While the site isn't very flashy, it certainly serves it's purpose of creating floral arrangement orders for the shop. They chose WooCommerce to handle the commerce aspect of the site and use the plugin to handle shipping zones. There is another plugin responsible for the order-flow that has been customized with a child plugin. The site has been operational for more than 5 years as I write this. Not bad,

Floral Expressions

This site was created while i worked with 

agency in Edmonton, AB. The design team did a really great job and together we came up with some fun ideas to celebrate the centennial of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta. There is a long, filterable timeline on the homepage as well as an interactive map of notable locations around Alberta.

We decided to use VueJS to build some scaffolding to accommodate some animations and have the site feel a bit like and SPA. We used tailwind for styling and built a WordPress site that uses minimal plugins and loads quickly. GSAP is responsible for the smooth animations and nice loading transitions. I built out a lot of the content blocks as well as the post & page heros. I also worked on some of the functionality surrounding they way the news posts are published. 

There are some neat blocks on this site, I think the design is really great.

. This site was build using  the Advanced Custom Fields plugin for a lot of the content blocks. I did make adjustments to the Block Editor (Gutenberg,) for this layout. The columns that are added by default did not suit the design, so I added different default columns to the editor as well as the rendered posts.

Website Coming Soon.
