Divert

Background

Divert is an impact technology company on a mission to creating advanced technologies and sustainable infrastructure to eliminate wasted food. Divert, anticpating a big press release, wanted a fresh new website. For this project I worked with another developer and a designer to bring this site to production.

For this site we built a fully custom WordPress theme. We utilized ACF Blocks to create custom WordPress blocks. This gave us the ability to build custom blocks of cotent that can be used in WordPress's block editor, with custom fields that enable content editors to manage both the content and appeaance of the blocks.

We were able to establish modern workflows for WordPress development within a team. We used Local to handle local development enviroments. Using Local along with hosting on WPEngine allowed us to pull down database changes and stay in sync. GitHub Actions were used to deploy changes to staging and production environments. This enabled us to work effetively in parallel.
