They wanted to showcase their available destinations through engaging posts and provide interactive forms for their clients.

The project deepened my experience in custom development within WordPress.

Prairie Phoenix manufactures specialized cattle care systems designed to maximize herd health and minimize pest control waste. The client needed a website that resonated with ranchers and producers while expanding their dealer distribution network.
I delivered a custom, agriculture-inspired web experience featuring bold pasture imagery, clear technical product breakdowns, and an optimized dealer acquisition funnel. The resulting site establishes strong brand authority in the livestock industry, simplifies product discovery, and drives inbound dealer and commercial inquiries.

For the Stillwater Masons web project, I successfully migrated their website from a custom framework to WordPress. This involved creating a custom PHP plugin to recreate their unique parking reservation system and integrating it with WooCommerce. I also developed a back-end page to manage the reservations. This project expanded my knowledge of custom development and deepened my understanding of how plugin code works within WordPress.
