Don’t Mess with Mama was apart of a series of mommy blogger sites that I built. Tracy was a great client to work with, as she had a very clear idea of how she wanted her website to look and work.

Theme Development

I used the Genesis parent and child theme to develop this site as well as many of the other mommy blogger sites I have built. Genesis gives clients the options to pick from a selection of clean modern designs that appeal to bloggers.

Working with the Genesis theme was a great learning experience. The theme uses action hooks for building out each section of the website. I was able to get more comfortable working with actions and filters to create custom layouts while building this project.

I had the opportunity to design and develop the Time Transport’s website.

Design via Style Tiles and Wireframes

By using the clients visual ideas and examples, I was able to create style tiles and hand drawn wireframes to build a design plan.

I used the angles of their semi trucks as inspiration for the design and a color palette that worked well with there brand.

WordPress Theme Development

For this project the client wanted a visual interface that reflected the website for their admin. I choose to go with X Theme.

Custom development was integrated to dynamically render posts by category for the Services page.

Custom Style Integration

I integrated custom styles throughout the website to create a custom look and feel. For the home page I added a fourth column to accommodate for the requested about card from the client.

I used a more juxtaposition layout style to emphasize the rugged exploration that is common in backpacking.

The layout has an underlining grid system that holds everything together. I wanted the magazine to stand out as well as intrigue the viewer to want to see more.

The magazine has a modern feel and uses a humanist typeface that I enjoy working with.
