Problem
We needed to develop the site based on the design files provided. Also, we had to design and add a 404 page to the site. The main requirement was to complete the work in 3 days plus an extra day for corrections.
The task is to create the following set of pages:
– Homepage
– Services
– About Us
– Contact Us
Solution
Based on the site design, we needed to build a total of 12 custom blocks for all pages, including custom forms powered by the Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress.
We managed to meet the crucial requirement – the three-day deadline – even with building the custom blocks and designing an extra page.
Home Page
The home page opens with a hero section that has a large banner as a background, a Book A Call button and a menu with items anchored to the sections of the page. For the transition between the menu item and the corresponding section, we used a smooth scroll transition effect.
Service Block - Home Page
The Service block on the home page consists of 11 individual icon-text sets arranged in one Gutenberg block. All icons and titles are editable from the admin dashboard.
Services Block - Services Page
This block elaborates on the aspects listed in its sister block from the home page. To ensure the block isn’t too heavy due to all the information, we implemented the list as an accordion menu. Each item shows its description with a dropdown animation on-click, changing the Plus icon to Minus and vice versa when closed.
“All the blocks we used for the site are custom-made. Even when the timing is really tight, we do our best to provide bespoke solutions to our clients.”
Our Team Block
This block is a 4×6 grid of team member cards and a title with a description. Each of the cards has images, a brief piece of personal information and an abstract of the bio, as well as Phone and Message.
Team Member Bio Popup
Besides, the cards are clickable themselves: a click on a card triggers a popup modal window with more information about the member. Also, users can browse the modals without closing them, i.e., by using the arrows. All content of the block is editable from the admin dashboard.
Result
We finished the development for this project as quickly as in three days. That included building 4 pages with custom blocks and designing and building a 404 page.
Among other custom blocks, there were Services blocks – two different for two pages. One of them was implemented as an accordion menu, another one – as a grid with editable icon-text sets.
The cards in the Our Team block are clickable: a click triggers a modal popup with the information about the team member. Users can move between the cards without closing them – using the arrows on the sides.
