Design Digital

Three Ireland

While starting in Three as a Web Designer, I took on the role of Lead Front End Developer for the redesign and build of their new website. Upon joining Three one of my major goals was to move the website from a static, fixed–width, HTML website to a fully responsive website that implemented a CMS.

After selecting WordPress for the CMS, I worked closely with the team of interface designers at WHAM to implement their design from PSD files into a HTML prototype. Once I had created a solid framework from these designs I began to move the build into a WordPress theme.

I built a selection of custom post types, with custom fields, to create a dashboard that was straightforward for the project stakeholders to use. These allowed for maximum control over an extremely flexible framework. I also worked closely with our Developers to create a number of custom plugins, in particular, we included a set of SVG icons that could be selected and colored by stakeholders on the back end. If SVG was unsupported by the user’s browser they would be served a PNG replacement, on the fly.

I found this project extremely rewarding as we received a lot of positive feedback once it was launched. I also feel that this project taught me a huge amount about working with different teams, both locally and internationally. I also upskilled in areas such as PHP, JavaScript and WordPress Development.
