HS Design Website

Employer: Möbius New Media

The HS Design website was the first project I worked on at Möbius New Media. It was developed in HTML, CSS, jQuery and integrated into WordPress. Back-end work was involved, including hosting consultation, setup and maintenance. Google Analytics, tracking tools and an SEO campaign were created. The sites feature SVG graphics and animations. The interface was slick and modern, with significant interactivity, transitions, and animations.

My role and contributions

I was responsible for all development work — building a custom front-end for this site, starting with the home page. I worked alongside the Graphic Designer at Möbius, who provided me with a Photoshop mock-up of this approved design. It was highly detailed, and a challenge to develop. I met that challenge accurately and efficiently, as this was a test of my skill level, as a fresh hire at the agency. The images shown here are of the final developed home page. The other pages of the site were designed and developed in tandem, directly in WordPress.

I developed a Möbius theme, for all future WP websites to use as a starting point. It connected all necessary external files for writing custom CSS, and JS. In addition to easy access to all separate PHP files, with the ability to easily jump into a file and write custom HTML.

This project was one of the most challenging front-ends I have coded, as I had to match a design that I did not create — which was highly refined and detailed with exact specifications. It can be tough to develop using designs provided by designers who are not developers and don’t understand how something will be developed, how easy or hard it will be, or if it should be done that way at all. Nonetheless, this site was a success, and I went on to work at Möbius developing numerous additional websites.
