Custom WordPress theme including custom page templates, post types, and a Google Map integration

Custom WordPress theme to effectively showcase services, company information, and media content. The client needed a solution that would be easy to manage internally while providing visitors with an engaging and informative experience. The site needed to be responsive, fast-loading, and reflect their brand identity.

I developed a custom WordPress child theme that provided the foundation for a comprehensive business website. The solution included:

Custom Development

  • Child Theme Architecture: Built a custom child theme to ensure theme updates wouldn’t affect custom modifications
  • Custom Page Templates: Created specialized templates for different content types, including service pages, about sections, and media galleries
  • Custom Post Types: Implemented structured content management for services, testimonials, and media assets
  • Custom Fields: Added flexible content areas for easy content updates without technical knowledge

Interactive Features

  • Custom Image Slider: Developed a responsive slider with touch/swipe support for showcasing company work and media
  • Google Maps Integration: Implemented custom Google Maps API integration with branded styling and interactive location markers
  • Contact Forms: Created user-friendly contact forms with proper validation and spam protection

User Experience

  • Responsive Design: Ensured the site works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
  • Performance Optimization: Implemented caching, image optimization, and database query optimization
  • SEO Enhancement: Added proper meta tags, schema markup, and semantic HTML structure
  • Accessibility: Ensured WCAG compliance for inclusive user experience

Technical Highlights

  • Database optimization and caching implementation
  • Custom WordPress child theme development
  • PHP development for custom functionality
  • JavaScript/jQuery for interactive elements
