[Sure Dry Basements]
Project Overview
Sure Dry Basements, an American based business, had their website redesigned in Adobe XD by my talented colleagues. With the wireframes completed, it was my turn to materialize their work into a live version for all to see —taking the opportunity to try something new.

Problem Statement
The Problem
Wireframes aside, the biggest challenge I faced was working on a novel system I'd never used before. With no clear cut way to approach this task, I decided to take my own approach.
The Solution
Before work started, I first familiarized myself with their system. Next, I looked for an overlap of my skills and previous websites they've built and tried to find a match.
The Results
In the end, I managed to build the website using little to no third-party libraries, decreasing the overall footprint and introducing new template concepts.

Concluding notes
Learning a novel CMS and PHP
When I first joined Leverage BPO, I already had experience working in headless CMS's written in Javascript. I did not, however, have experience working in a PHP-based CMS, much less one that was proprietary. Determined to make this work, I learned PHP within two months and used my previous knowledge of architecting systems to build a base on which future templates and projects could rely.
