BUSINESS NEEDS

This responsive website was designed to reflect a virtual immersion in the environment of the pilgrimage journey that it presents.

FEATURES

• Full screen lightweight background images are showcased, and bottom padding is used to allow the text to roll up the screen for an unobstructed view of the backgrounds.
• The responsive format transitions from single column on small screens with mobile Slick-nav menu, to two columns and three column views.
• A jQuery script places sidebar content below main content on smaller format screens.
• Videos on the home page are pulled through a random database call.
• Page and post urls are rewritten to provide better SEO value.
• Custom text editor creates posts and pages in markdown, interpreted using Michelf's Markdown PHP plugin, with a cheatsheet available on hover.
• Editor also includes ability to add extra HTML for advanced content needs.
