soec.org (2014)

Task: Revamp aging website for the Saleen Owners and Enthusiasts Club. Previous website was a collection of static HTML pages created in 2005. Idea was to create a new website, using WordPress, that would streamline content updates and highlight featured front-page articles.

Solution: Based website update on WordPress Twenty Fourteen theme. Modified style sheet and page code (with custom child theme) in order to house document archives and vehicle production data from previous website. It was determined this was the best method to speed up the launch date of new site. All features would be located at the URL soec.org .
