HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS

Client Needed a Training Portal

This particular client needed an employee training portal for a corporate site that was already in existence. They wanted a learning management system (LMS) integrated into the existing WordPress site. At the time, there was not one comprehensive LMS solution like there is today, such as Canvas or Moodle, so Scott had to combine two different plugins to make the client’s vision and feature/functionality requirements happen. The site included training modules for new hires as well as skill advancement training modules for current employees. The completed training portal included 80 hours worth of material including videos, readings, quizzes, and tests. The functionality Scott provided to the client even included a certificate at the completion of each major module and client notifications for progress and completion statuses for each employee.

Client Wanted Digital Forms & Contracts

This client wanted complex forms and contracts added to their existing site, along with third party integration into a customer relationship management (CRM) system. The client’s aim was to automate and streamline processes to save employees time and save customers the frustration of dealing with hardcopy paperwork. Scott’s detective work found the right quality plugins to deliver the necessary functionality to his client. He created the forms, with complex conditional logic, integrated functionality for pen-like signatures, and implemented form notifications and emails to meet the client’s wish to save employee time and to reduce customer frustration.

 

Client Had Broken Website

This client had a problem with their third party plugin not working properly. With his detective prowess and tools, Scott was on the case. What he found was that the plugin hadn’t been updated in years, and was no longer being supported by the developer for updates. The problem was that this particular plugin was unique and there were no other plugins available like it. At the same time, this plugin was essential to the client’s business, so replacing it with something else was not an option. As a WordPress expert detective, Scott dove into the developer’s plugin files, and found what had happened: updates to WordPress core functionality rendered this particular plugin unusable. This happens when plugins are no longer supported by their developers. Knowing how important this plugin was to the client, Scott found where the plugin code needed to be updated and made the proper changes to get it working.

Client Needed Online Document Collection

A customer came to Scott looking for a way to streamline their document handling. Customers were emailing documents one at a time to several different internal employees. The system was inefficient and prone to documents being misplaced. Scott was able to put a process in place where the customers were able to sign in and upload their paperwork. The paperwork was then automatically dropped into the client’s Google Drive folder. This new automated process saved employees time and without worrying that documents would get lost or buried in email inboxes. Customers were also happy as their process was expedited and without the need to resend lost documents.
