Deliverables
- Development
- Photography
- UX Design
I wanted to design and develop a platform that was easy to use and translated nicely across whatever device that the end user would be accessing the website form. With the help of WordPress, prihtful, and woocommerce, I was able to create a custom theme that would bring this vision to life. No template hustling was involved.
