Transformed a hand made website built in the 90s into mobile friendly WordPress site.
Handled all details of putting up the site which lead to less stress and headache for Atlanta Jaguar Society.
Challenges
Atlanta Jaguar Society (AJS) wanted a new website to reflect their passion for European Sports Luxury cars. After looking at their site. I gave them a few suggestions for improvement. They took my recommendations, as I built the new site from ground up and now they are happily satisfied with it.
“I don’t wish to control any design of the website, but it would be great if I could upload items that could be used for the website or historical storage. Will we have a secure members area that we could post items that only members could view, i.e. address/phone list and such?” said one of the stakeholders.
Mobile now accounts for over half of all web traffic but the old site was not mobile friendly.
“We’ll need to be able to easily post the monthly newsletters. Mobile friendly would be good. Easy to update, primarily: member pictures, monthly newsletters and a calendar of events.” said another stakeholders.
Solution
Building new site on a staging server which allowed AJS to various elements of the redesign. But in the end, the customer was happy because we explored design alternatives before committing to a final design.
Spent three months experimenting and going back and forth with the design and sample content before going live.
