Description:
- This responsively designed website is using Wordpress as a content management system and GULP as a task/build runner. The designers' vision aims to highlight scenic views (through image carousels and hero-banners) that would inspire others to get outdoors. A goal for revitalizing this webpage was to promote community involvement and participation in activities. For this, we centered much of our functionality toward the Modern Tribe's Event Calendar Plugin and the Community Events Add-on Plugin.
