The Background Story
We joined together with long-term collaborators DrawHistory to give the ASeTTS website a fresh look. The site uses custom Gutenberg blocks to ensure smooth and versatile layouts. Having page layouts separated into reusable components is great for many reasons, including:
- It gives the client enough freedom to make changes to the layout
- It's restrictive enough to ensure nothing goes wrong
- It allows the client to create new pages without paying a developer
Finding this middle ground when building a site is key. Otherwise, a client risks falling into one of two common traps: having to consult a developer when there is not enough freedom to make small changes, or being handed too much control and needing to spend extra to get things fixed. Thinking about this ahead of time allows for a smoother implementation of features, which in turn translates to a more streamlined development process.
Features Added
We added various features to the site. These enhanced both the user and client experience. These are included but not limited to:
- Advanced Custom Fields
- Custom Post Types
- Mailchimp integration
- Bespoke WordPress theme
