WordPress Development

Customizing the Worlds Most Popular CMS

My experience with WordPress includes setting up, configuring, and customizing websites built on the platform. For the Backstagewhisp project, I was responsible for transforming a standard WordPress installation into a customized blog with a unique theme and specific plugin integrations to meet the projects goals.

This work involved not just using the admin interface, but also diving into the PHP code to modify theme files, tweak styles with CSS, and ensure the site performed well.

Key Competencies

  • Theme Customization: Modifying existing WordPress themes to achieve a desired look and feel.
  • Plugin Management: Selecting, installing, and configuring plugins to extend functionality.
  • Core Concepts: Understanding of the WordPress site structure, the "Loop", and core functions.
  • PHP & CSS: Applying PHP and CSS knowledge to make direct customizations to theme files.
  • Setup & Deployment: Installing and deploying WordPress on standard hosting environments (e.g., LAMP stack).
