Unlike many web developers, I accept projects that are small changes to other developer’s projects instead of full websites. Frequently, I am contacted by other web developer and web design firms to offer my expertise with WordPress plugins and Javascript. While many times these firms are capable of doing the work themselves, they find that my experience allows me to help them offer the best to their own clients.
I’ve worked with D:Vise on several projects to update different plugins including AJAXed WordPress. I’ve also added features and repaired plugins abandoned by the original developers. As an example of the work I’ve done with D:Vise, two projects are described in detail below.
Project: Clarke Desai
The first project we worked on together, I was asked to update and modify a menu building plugin called WP_Navi to create a 4 tier vertical menu in JavaScript and CSS. As with all plugin modifications, I try to avoid modifying the core plugin to allow upgrades, so my solution had to be created entirely in a separate Javascript file.
The plugin originally created a simple multi-tier horizontal menu without any effects, but my solution was to use JQuery to hide the excess menu items. The menu then uses jQuery’s effects to create a smooth scroll-down style transition effect that worked across columns and between different levels of the same menu.You can see an animation of the menu below:
The client was very happy with the end result as was D:Vise, so they asked me to make some modifications to another website they were working on.
Project: Oliver Knight Photography
We also worked together on Oliver Knight.com to modify AJAXed WordPress to allow it to work with the WP-Navi plugin. We decided the best solution would be to build a custom “module” for AJAXed WordPress to link the two plugins together, so that the entire website could be written in HTML but have the interactivity and beautify of a flash-based website.
I was contracted for other projects and features on these websites, but this is just an example of what AaHa Creative can do for you. If you have a project similar, feel free to contact me for a quote.
