For this second collaboration with NySB, we worked on the website of SBBT Architecture. Wordpress was the platform of choice, as the client needed a full-fledged admin system so that they could be able to edit pretty much all aspects of the site.
I had to custom-build a slideshow with full-screen images for the home page. The whole thing is managed thanks to Advanced Custom Fields, so that the client can change every aspect of the slides: the background image, the main text, the gradient color and direction, and so on.
For the grid on the projects page, I used Shuffle.js, a responsive grid that one can categorize, sort and filter.
The main issue we encountered was the weight of the site. It makes great use of full-screen images, and since they represent architectural projects, we had to have a good picture quality. I ended up using the on-the-fly API service of reSmush.it, which compresses the images when an admin uploads an image in the media library.
For this project, we used Wordpress, SCSS, Shufflejs, jQuery and Webpack.
