Sonia Hunt

Custom WordPress site, built through a series of iterations. I inherited the site as a static HTML-WordPress hybrid, with two WordPress installations handling different parts of the site. While also implementing a new design, I consolidated the content from the two WordPress installations and converted the remaining static HTML, so the entire site is powered by a single WordPress instance.

Hex Folk Market

Ruby on Rails marketplace, providing a space for individual members to sell their own products and receive payment via PayPal (similar to Etsy).

I completed the backend of this site after taking the project over in a half-finished state from the original developer. Most of the front-end HTML/CSS was written by another developer on the project.
