Static pages rebuilt as a site the owner can edit, with a real blog and a community calendar.
Switch between how the work ran before, and how it runs now.
In the order it was built, and why each part exists.
A lightweight custom child theme reproduces the original pages exactly, so nothing about the look changed in the move.
Gutenberg and ACF surface the sections that should be editable, and only those, so the owner cannot accidentally break the layout.
The blog list pulls actual posts and single-post templates display meta and images properly, instead of being hand-maintained HTML.
Community events run on a custom post type, alongside neighbourhood guides and seller resources.
Converting static pages to WordPress usually means the design quietly degrades. The theme imposes itself and the client accepts a worse version of what they had.
The requirement here was the opposite: identical design, fully editable.
A child theme rather than a modified parent, so updates do not overwrite the work, and ACF for structured fields rather than free-form page builders.
Fast, responsive, and editable by someone who does not write code.
