Project Overview
We worked with AgCreate an Illinois advertising agency for the agricultural industry. We rebuilt an existing website, the new website looks similar to the old, but we polished up the design weaving their branded colors throughout. We reworked the agenda and ticket purchase functionality to make it more user friend and stable. Website admins are now able to manage the website with ease.
Project Details
This website was fun and challenging to build. We were able to stretch our WordPress development muscles. The website mostly consists of a single long-form scrolling page. The navigation links to various anchors on the page. The logo, text and countdown clock float on top of the banner slideshow images. The slideshow images are managed via the Smart Slider plugin.
The registration function runs through The Events Calendar plugin along with the Events Ticket Plus plugin extension. We also added a custom Agenda block that is also powered by The Events Calendar.
We also created the custom Side-by-Side block and Event Sponsors block. All-in-all the website has tons of great custom functionality.
