About
As the old HelpMeSara website gathered a large amount of information it made sense to start using a CMS which would make it easy to standardize and manage past and future content. To import the data I wrote several scripts bridging the old database with WordPress'.

About
Created a custom Wordpress theme, based on an existing design, to allow administrators to update the site without touching HTML while allowing pages to be reorganized based on their content (such as specifying "families" of games). Takes full advantage of Wordpress' "custom post meta" and custom options pages to provide extra administrator control.

About
Basic one-page site to promote and accompany client's book. Design reflects book cover in shape and colors. Information organized in such a way so that it's not overly promotional but the sections make sense even if you haven't read the book (promotion on left side, accompanying information on right side).
