HOJ – 2016

HOJ Innovations is a local warehouse solutions company. This is a redesign of another site I’d built for them a few years previously using Magento. The new site used WooCommerce instead, to reduce the work involved for them in fulfilling orders. They have several companies under their HOJ umbrella, and I built similar sites for all of them. One of the primary things that I tried to do with this site was make it flexible and easy to change on the fly in the admin. There’s an options menu that lets you change the logo, the main colors on the site, and a ton of other details. Basically everything you see on this site is dynamic and generated using basic stuff you do in the admin. It lets you update and add and remove and edit without knowing any HTML, or at least limited HTML.

One of the main concerns for the client was being able to edit these things, so I gave that to them as much as possible.

There are a few other really cool development tricks I made use of in here that most people won’t notice… it’s just something that makes my code more efficient, or easier for the client to edit.
