The challenge

Prior to working on Cascades, I was always working in a small team and have been focusing on building out individual front-end sections on WordPress sites. This time, I was mainly working by myself and have been assigned a much larger pool of responsibilities. Apart from building out front-end sections, I was also in charge of organising the content on WordPress and querying all the data with PHP. After having received the designs and gone through the project with a senior developer, I began setting up the site.

At first I was focusing on the back-end and the structure of content in WordPress. As the WordPress editor would be later used by the client, I needed to ensure that the data entry for all content is logical and well organised. To make data entry more powerful and flexible, I've used a popular plugin called Advanced Custom Fields. With all the initial content added, I then outputted and looped through the data with PHP. Styling and making the site responsive was the last task, which I achieved with the usual SCSS workflow. During the whole process I was gathering feedback from my supervisor and in the later stages of the project, the client also got involved with the feedback process.
