PWTC is a volunteer-run bicycling club in Portland. Its Drupal 7 site was hard for volunteers to run, and the club had a written set of requirements for its replacement.

What I built

  • A custom WordPress theme on Twig, built on my own starter theme, with dynamic headers and footers, sidebars and flexible page layouts that volunteers can edit without touching code.
  • Ride listings and ride details, events, a photo gallery and published meeting minutes.
  • Member accounts: profile editing with photos, membership details, and household members.
  • Shop styling for the club's WooCommerce store.

After launch

I stayed on through 2018 for WordPress core and plugin updates, plus the enhancements members asked for.
