Project Highlights
- Collaborated with the creative team on mockups and translated them into a custom WordPress theme.
- Optimized the WordPress editing experience for non-technical content owners using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to allow them to make updates on their own while still keeping a consistent style and structure; provided support when needed.
- Built a fully responsive interface using Tailwind CSS, ensuring a smooth experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop.

- Designed the single-post layout to integrate related posts and ratings components, providing easier access to related content and a way to give feedback respectively.

- Built contest and giveaway forms using the Forminator plugin, and automated submissions to Google Sheets through Zapier, allowing content owners to easily manage the data.
