Friends of the Smokies

For the Friends of the Smokies website, we implemented a system that allows subscription donations or one-time donations, with a dynamic pricing model enabling users to choose or enter their own custom amount. The previous website lacked an efficient and user-friendly way for visitors to make donations.

It was also tedious to update and needed a modular CMS approach for their team. I built a series of components that the content editors could easily use to build new pages as needed.

I developed a custom WordPress plugin for Pyxl that consumes Instagram’s API, inspired by the oAuth Twitter Feed for Developers plugin. This plugin provides a developer-friendly interface for theme developers.

The site was built using WordPress and Foundation, and we incorporated WooCommerce for the donation functionality.
