Work Experience

Wordpress Consultant
May 2023 - Present
Primary.Health

As a Wordpress Consultant at Primary.Health, I applied my in-depth understanding of WordPress to develop a custom theme based on their Figma design. Collaborating with various departments, I translated project objectives into a functional, visually appealing theme, seamlessly aligning with their brand and user interface specifications. Additionally, I utilized ACF to create custom Gutenberg blocks, enabling easy site customization. Using Sass I developed a custom grid system, mixins and utilities classes for more efficient and reusable CSS, reducing the amount of custom CSS.

Rigorous testing and debugging were performed to ensure optimal functionality, minimizing potential user frustration and upholding website integrity. Partnering with the design team, I ensured adherence to brand standards, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility. Finally, I provided comprehensive training and documentation to internal teams, empowering them to proficiently manage and maintain the website.
