Nu Skin

The Source

As SEO Developer I was in charge of implementing new blog posts to Nu Skin's Blog. Upon getting the new position the blog had not been been updated in many years, to the point that no one at the company was sure how to access or give me access to the template files. I was able to find and get access to one CSS stylesheet that affected the blog. With that limited access I was able to make several updates to the blog to make it more modern and responsive.

Knowledge Owl

Nu Skin uses the Knowledge Owl Platform for their Customer facing Help pages. I was given the task to create a theme that looked similar to Nu Skin's other customer facing sites. I built the theme using mostly CSS, editing the default styles and ensuring the site's mobile responsivesness

SharePoint Online

Originally I managed an old Product Database in CPanel with MySQL. It was decided that it should be migrated to SharePoint Online so I migrated the database over and designed a way for it to easily be updated using a combination of Excel and SharePoint. I created and managed the majority of Nu Skin's internal Call Center websites as well as a several other SharePoint sites within the Nu Skin organization.


Provo Library

Provo Library New Website

Provo Library recently created a new website made in Communico CMS which is made specifically for Libraries. My role was to customize the theme to match what the Library's Web team wanted. I've paid special attention to mobile responsiveness and implemented over 1000 lines of custom CSS. I have also integrated several 3rd party applications into the website as well as set up search for the website. On a more routine basis I take care of bug fixes, some content implementations, and general website optimizations for site speed and search engine optimization.

Provo Library LibCal

A recent project I have done while working at the Provo Library is implementing a custom header and footer for a 3rd party application the library recently aquired. I designed and hand coded the header and footer to look similar to existing library designs.

Provo Library Old Website

The Provo Library's old website was made using the Joomla Content Management System along with some additional JavaScript and PHP web applications. My primary duties were bug fixes and updating web applications. One notable project I did was setting up a check-out calendar for a book kit set similar to others that were in use on their site.
