Overview

 Starting from a single homepage design concept from a discontinued project, I helped turn the visual direction into a complete 60+ page WordPress website with consistent branding, varied layouts, and custom content systems. 

The Challenge

The site needed to feel cohesive without every page looking the same. It also needed dedicated sections for six NJSNA regions, each with space for messages, bulletins, news, events, meetings, galleries, and regional resources. The backend also needed to stay simple for the client, allowing them to update information through normal WordPress posts, categories, and existing content areas instead of rebuilding custom page layouts.

What I built

  I developed the full site structure, expanding the original homepage design into more than 60 pages with matching but varied layouts. Many pages included animation, interaction, or dynamic content behavior to create a polished and modern experience. Using Meta Box, I created separate post types and Meta Box Views for the six regional sections. Each region page automatically pulled events from the same backend calendar, separated by categories, so the client could manage events in one place while displaying the correct information across each region. The finished site gave NJSNA a large, flexible WordPress platform that was easier for the client to manage and easier for users to navigate. Regional pages could display the correct updates automatically, while the overall site maintained a consistent design system with enough layout variation to keep pages from feeling repetitive.
