Challenges

What was difficult, and how I solved it

  1. Replacing an outdated system

    Challenge
    The old website no longer represented a company that had grown into a modern group active worldwide.
    Solution
    I developed a custom theme from scratch instead of adapting a stock template, so the site could follow the brand exactly.
  2. Room to grow

    Challenge
    The site needed functionality beyond pages and text, without turning the theme into a one-off that is hard to update.
    Solution
    Additional features were added as separate plugins, and the frontend code was written in TypeScript, which keeps the code base easier to maintain.
