I have been developing in Wordpress since 2008 and have turned many website designs into successful Wordpress themes. Skiingproperty.com is a completely new theme developed by me from a design done by the client. A real estate website powered entirely by Wordpress using Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies. sbskiproperty is a custom post type and it has taxonomies for City, Region, Property Type and Sale Type. It also has custom rewrite rules added to make the links the maximum SEO friendly. Propertyinturkeyforsale.net is based on the purchased theme DeCasa, but I wrote a plugin to crawl the clients website and pull in his properties for display in the theme. I also adapted the theme to use custom post types and custom taxonomies for town details.You show me a design and I can turn it into a WP theme, I have many more examples if you wish to see them. I have also developed other Wordpress plugins, which I can send you in zip format if you wish. I have not yet had time to formally submit them into the Wordpress core, as most have been custom built for client needs and need adaptation to make them usable for a wider audience. Recently a lot of my work has been coming in through http://www.peopleperhour.com, as my feedback on that site grows it arguably becomes the best evidence of my Wordpress capabilities. Since joining PPH a few months ago I have worked on some fantastic projects. I have just finished an expansion of the wp-e-commerce plugin by getshopped,org. The plugin is not big on action/filters hooks, I had to create a child class of the WP_List_Table, despite the original plugin already having done so, because it never had a filter to add/remove columns. Says it all. My favourite PPH job recently was a plugin expanding the functionality of Woocommerce to be used as an online personalised card shop. I modified the product add/edit form with a new meta box allowing the admin to enter size and position for a contentEditable div which is overlaid on the main product, they also enter a default text to go inside the div. The end user can then edit the text as they wish, and also change the font and color which updates in real time. I also added a preview button, which shows them their modified card on a 1008px as more like what the real card will look like. THey add their cards to the shopping cart complete with their modifications, and once they pay for their order, their text is added on to a hi res pdf uploaded by the admin, and the finished products are exported to s3 for printing and sending. I have also worked on three expansions of the events manager and events manager pro plugins. I was tasked to build an extension to em and em-pro to allow for split payments, i.e. the user pays a deposit initially and then 4wks before the event they are sent a reminder to pay the remainder. The back end user can control the percentage of the deposit on a per event basis, and the payments of deposit and remainder are all fully tracked using the existing em and em-pro bookings management screens. The user can pay early, as the minute they pay the deposit, the my-bookings screen contains a "Complete Payment" button -- the email reminder simply directs them to this page. I can send the plugin for you to have a go with if you like? You can see the feedback on my profile, its about 4 or 5 down titled Wordpress Plugin Development by Andy P. The second expansion allowed event authors to set a currency for their event other than that set in the main settings. The feedback for this is also on my profile, not far above the last as Currency Plugin by Stuart M. The third is to allow it to be used for regular tours. The tours are added as recurring events, and pages for the tours display a calendar showing only days with spaces left, and when they click the link they go to the booking page for that event. I coded an auto-extending addition as well, so if they set the span of the recurring event for a year, at the end of that year it extends it for another year.
