Skills and Tools
These are the skills and tools I used throughout this project.
Design
This site was designed in Adobe Fireworks.
Development
The front-end was coded in HTML5 and CSS3 following OOCSS principles, using HAML for HTML templating and LESS for CSS preprocessing, with the aid of LiveReload for automated compilation and browser refreshing.
The back-end was developed in WordPress. The site makes good use of custom content types and custom taxonomies for an optimal content management experience. In the admin area, the data entry screens are tailored for each custom content type. The site is multilingual, powered by WPML.
