Deakin Uni Student Association Website
ViewFor the most part of this year I've been gently nudged outside of my Frontend lane an into some more full-stack-adjacent work, and one of the main projects I worked on was BAU work for the Deakin University Student Association website.
Working in parallel with the client, I was tasked with many smaller and larger updates, new pages, bug fixes, CMS integrations, data entry and even some client training.
Working with a completely new tech stack to the previous project, I was given a great opportunity to gain experience with Craft CMS, Twig, Docker, DDEV and even some light SQL database tomfoolery.
One my main projects was to create n entirely new food pantry & recipes section, which allows the client to build a fully-CMS-driven set of recipe cards and pages that are filterable by ingredient and formatted for ease of printing. This also needed to be fully customisable and extendable on the user side, so I summoned my best YouTuber voice and recorded some quick Loom video tutorials to walk the client through the updating process.
Overall I wouldn't say the updates I made were site-defining, but I take pride in the fact that my updates were well-structured, well considered from the perspective of the client being able to understand, update and edit easily from within the CMS, and that overall it stayed relatively on-budget and functioned to spec.
