After the successful implementation of the Bluehost blog theme, I was referred to their sister company for the HostGator blog theme redesign. While the Bluehost project was more development-focused, HostGator’s team wanted full UX design, theme development, and implementation.

Bluehost Blog Theme on WordPress
A former colleague, Machielle Thomas, contacted me to build the Bluehost blog theme, since they were looking to redesign.

Their blog was built on WordPress and Machielle worked with me during the

Pro Pages Plugin on WordPress
The Pro Pages plugin generates a WordPress (WP) custom post type for information about various PGA Pros. Each Pro Page contains equipment, apparel for major tournaments, and a Twitter feed.

Golf Town Blog on WordPress
The Golf Town blog came into play as a way to move several successful digital programs over from Golfsmith. Unfortunately, the What’s in the Bag (WITB) PHP applications that I built for Golfsmith didn’t work on Golf Town’s server environment. Due to this, I made the suggestion that the WITB Pro Pages content be incorporated
Golfsmith Home Page Enhancements
The Golfsmith home page (HP) enhancements were an ongoing, constantly evolving project. Luckily, I had the opportunity to lead a huge overhaul of the strategy and design of the HP in 2016.

What’s in the Bag? Pro Golfer Pages
What’s in the Bag? (WITB) pro pages were birthed from discussions between the e-commerce and content marketing teams.

Custom Clubmaking Widget on Golfsmith
Through collaboration with Golfsmith’s Information Services team, the Custom Clubmaking module moved from a standalone page to a seamless integration within the product pages.

Golfsmith Fair-Way Promise Page
Guarantees and brand equities play a huge part in gaining customers’ trust. Hence, the Golfsmith Fair-Way promise was created. In an effort to communicate this, the Fair-Way promise needed to live on the website. Since there were 4 tenets, I used the jQuery-UI accordion to hide the details so the customer could focus on the
Hellas Construction Web App
The Hellas Construction web app was a massive undertaking I conquered singlehandedly. First of all, their website hadn’t been updated since 2009 and became a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster situation. Due to several unnecessary pages, the user experience was highly confusing. Adding projects to the site was slow and regional sales managers needed them
Hellas Hearts of Hope Charity Microsite
To launch the Hellas Hearts of Hope charity trip, members of the Hellas Construction team helped gather donations from family and friends.
