Comeback America Initiative
As a political action brochure, the microsite functioned as a hub of information about the nation’s finances, linking out to the Comeback America Initiative’s “Fiscal IQ” survey.
As the Principal Developer at Leap, I created the advertising agency’s portfolio website on WordPress alongside visual designer Aaron Scott. The Leap website relied on a robust, shortcode-driven templating system that allowed the agency team to construct portfolio pages within the WordPress Dashboard using only the visual editor and no technical expertise.
Also: WordPress, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, Sass.
Leap’s WordPress theme uses a shortcode-driven system to let the agency assemble project pages in the visual editor. A heavily modified jQuery Isotope grid organizes the public portfolio, allowing visitors to move between brand collections and individual projects.
Also: Advertising Agencies, Advertising + Marketing.
Advertising agencies develop strategies and creative campaigns that help clients communicate with audiences and promote their brands, products, or services. I’ve built agency portfolio websites and editorial platforms that present client work, capabilities, and industry perspectives.
Also: Content Strategy, Copywriting & Editing, Interaction Design, UI/UX Design, Web Design, Web Development.
As Leap’s Principal Developer, I built Aaron Scott’s visual design into a responsive portfolio and worked with the Director of Strategy on its project narratives. Content strategy, copywriting, copyediting, and creative direction complemented the interactive grid and publishing tools, bringing the agency’s stories and presentation together.
Presentation and narrative together
A publishing system for agency stories.
Leap’s fully responsive front end used a heavily modified jQuery Isotope grid to achieve a scalable, grid-based portfolio that allows visitors to explore the work through brand collections or individual postings.
I worked closely with the Director of Strategy to write each portfolio entry’s narrative, providing creative direction and copyediting support.
I know no better WordPress developer. You’d be lucky to have him work on your site.
