a refresh of an existing website
EnergyAid is a California-based company that installs solar panels and is expanding from the West coast. The company had a website with the content mostly established, but they wanted something more sleek and modern. The client supplied their logo and branding along with some imagery to use. I worked with the creative director to lay out three options for the home page and landing page in Figma. After the client chose an option, we laid out the rest of the pages before building the website in WordPress using Elementor.
One challenge was trying to figure out how to do a background blur behind a sidebar menu. Though I have some programming experience, I had never touched jQuery or Javascript before. Figuring out the code as well as how to integrate it into the Elementor framework took several hours and a good bit of trial and error. Eventually, I was able to produce the desired effect, where the menu would slide out from the right side of the window and the elements in the background would blur. While the client later decided on a top navigation, I learned a lot from the experience.
