When the ISTFP came to me for website guidance, their WordPress site had been developed in 2012 and was still not mobile compatible. Our 2021 redevelopment brought the site up to the latest technical functionality.

The technical highlight of this project is a membership system with checks and balances. WordPress provides native user functionality. Public sign-up has always been fraught with spammed submissions. Various good membership systems exist, and it is up to the developer to determine which one(s) have the best functionality for the client needs. This membership needed less interaction with each other and more automated payment functionality.

The Town of Fayston website was upgraded from its original twentyeleven WordPress theme in April 2021. The theme still worked seamlessly, but with all the upgrades to WordPress and the creativity offered in the block editor and the number of staff now editing, they were missing out on additional flexibility, functionality, and ease of updating.

A child theme was developed on the Genesis platform. The Advanced Custom Fields plugin allowed ease of setting up a file upload and management process for the departmental agendas, supporting documents, and minutes. Pages were created using either the standard sidebar or a two-column format for varied “sidebar” information per page where desired. Reusable blocks were created for Board Meeting and Office Hours schedules to be displayed on multiple pages. Header images can be random or specified per page.

The Reinhardt family of websites was re-launched as a WordPress multi-site in March 2021 in response to changes in PHP and VPS cPanel software over the last few years that resulted in significant and repeated code and server updates that didn’t seem to be ending.

Four energy sites and three mini-marts share a custom child theme based on the Genesis platform. The theme uses a full-width two column approach styled to display exactly as do the sidebar pages, providing greater content flexibility in each page. The home page features a slider with messaging, calls to action, latest posts, and selected testimonials.

We developed a process for the client to write blog posts and push them to the subsites. This same process was used for page deployment during development. Reusable and custom blocks were created. The Gravity Forms plugin was used for a variety of forms as well as a zip code locator with conditional redirect pages.

Borderline Disorders is a website founded and maintained by a group of clinicians and researchers dedicated to the study and practice of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for borderline and other personality disorders.

This site was developed on the Bootstrap platform and utilizes a custom admin to simplify the two areas of update needed—publications written by and seminars/events led by the group’s psychiatric professionals.
