WordPress

WordPress is a robust open source content management system (CMS) that currently accounts for over 26% of all websites on the internet. Available in 56 languages and customizable by over 44,000 different plugins (add-ons), as well as its ease of use for site managers, WordPress is our favorite platform for most of our website builds.

WalletCard Certification Management WordPress Extension

  • Agency Partner: 12th Street Consulting
  • Year(s): 2015
WalletCard offers a novel way for employers to issue certifications to employees who have completed coursework or training modules and proven their ability to perform certain tasks or jobs. After creating a business profile, employers can create certifications for any number of learning requirements, and once an employee has achieved the proper qualifications, certifications can be assigned to the employee. The employee also visits their account and verifies the certificates that have been granted them. Our agency partner 12th Street Consulting commissioned us to assist in building out the client’s website to perform these functions. Together we created a prototype which extended Wordpress's user model with a more complex structure, and built a custom theme that extended WordPress functionality.

Encore Capital SugarCRM Loan Processing

  • Agency Partner: Blaze Enterprises
  • Year(s): 2008-2012

We constructed a backend built on top of SugarCRM that managed all aspects of the loan underwriting process (status, documents, communications, credit) and a Wordpress site for his web presence that would interface with his backend platform.

Thunderbolt Clean Energy Brand and Website Design

  • Agency Partner: Eric Redman
  • Year(s): 2016
Eric Redman engaged us to rebrand one of his clean energy companies, Thunderbolt Clean Energy, and design a brochure website for people to get information about the group.  Sensitive to his work with his other companies, Eric wanted a site more about himself and his mission, rather than one to compete in the landscape.  After a few rounds, we landed on color schemes, fonts, logos and the website was not far away. Ultimately we chose WordPress as the CMS and created a one-pager using a custom child-theme.

Manor Hardware Website Development with WordPress

  • Agency Partner: Bullseye Graphics
  • Year(s): 2016

In 2001, Munish was part of a team that hired Bullseye Graphics to brand the new online presence for JustFares.com with a logo, letterhead, stationary, etc. Fifteen years later, it was Bullseye's turn to reach out to Munish and Twelve23. We joined them on a website redesign project for their established client Manor Hardware. We were given an initial design concept, and then built a custom WordPress theme to achieve the design and to match the philosophies of Bullseye, as illustrated by many of their "Bullseye-isms."
