Page load speed was improved thru a 64% reduction in overall page size, a 21% reduction in web server requests, and a new WPEngine hosting platform. The new Theme integrates the WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor for more advanced layout and styling options. A Google Translate feature makes the site more accessible to under-served populations.

The 1.6 Mb Weebly homepage has been converted to a 625 Kb WordPress landing page (a 61% page size reduction), with 30% fewer web server requests, which results in better mobile performance.

A bright mobile-first website refresh for Silver Glen – the only cooperative community for senior independent living in King County.

The new site features a video of facility stills; an image gallery; and a community events calendar. System operating fonts were chosen to optimize site performance, with a minimum font-size of 18 pixels to improve readability for older audiences. A sitewide sidebar can promote units for sale, as needed.

A mobile responsive website redesign for Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple.

The temple’s old fixed-width, non-mobile friendly TwentyTen Theme was upgraded to a custom-branded mobile-first Theme, based on _Underscores. The site redesign included extensive content re-organization, performance optimization and security hardening. Particular attention was paid to usability, including a Google Translation feature for temple members.
