A selection of the WordPress sites, custom plugins, and web tools I've built for a national magazine and for the Alabama Community College System. Click a screenshot to enlarge it.
I rebuilt the digital side of a national print magazine on WordPress: a custom WooCommerce storefront, a subscriber portal, a video streaming platform, and an editorial CMS. I still support the site, working with the editors on new features, performance, and analytics.
Café Racer homepage. Storefront, subscriber login, and current issue promotion in one header.
As ACCS Webmaster I developed and maintained the system's enterprise WordPress sites and custom tools, serving 24 colleges and 50,000+ users. I was responsible for accessibility, security, and uptime, and I built the custom plugins and integrations the system's departments relied on.
accs.edu homepage. Announcement bar, mega-menu navigation, and a full-width video hero.
A WordPress events hub showing community events from across Alabama's 24 community colleges in one place. Visitors can search and filter events, and colleges can submit their own events to the calendar.
Get Involved. Event search by keyword and location, with filters for category, college, cost, venue, and day.
The Economic Development Division needed one site that could speak to business partners, training participants, and legislators at the same time. I built a custom site with five industry sector profiles and a college locator. It launched on schedule and became the division's primary way of reaching Alabama businesses.
"Powering Alabama's Workforce." The looping video hero, built on the YouTube API.
ACCS published hundreds of frequently updated PDFs, including policies, forms, and handbooks, and people couldn't find what they needed. I built a custom WordPress plugin that extracts the text from every PDF into a searchable database, so a search returns the exact document. I later rebuilt it for other clients with the same problem and turned it into a standalone product, Sparks Simple.
Policies and Procedures. The ACCS page this plugin was built to make searchable.
The ACCS facilities department needed each submission and its attachments in one secure file. I built a custom WordPress plugin that converts, combines, and secures each submission's uploads into a single PDF, so staff no longer re-enter data or merge files manually.
Combine Facilities Forms. Where facilities submissions come in.
A launch site for a joint ACCS and Alabama RC&D Councils program offering 50 scholarships of $2,000 each for aviation mechanics and construction trades. Applicants, partners, and press needed the details before the application portal opened, so I kept it to one fast page with no CMS overhead.
Launch page. Opening-date notice with a "Get Notified" signup.
Facilities and public-works bid dates have to be posted accurately and on time. I built an automated workflow connecting WordPress, Dropbox, and TeamUp Calendar: when a bid document is uploaded, its dates are extracted and calendar events are created with links back to the files.
Facilities/Public Works Bid Calendar. Upcoming bids posted with linked documents.
