Go Buffalo Niagara is a crucial initiative aimed at encouraging the use of sustainable transportation in the Buffalo Niagara region. The website was developed to serve as a central hub for information on public transit, biking, walking, and carpooling options available to the community. The goal was to create a resource that not only educates users on the benefits of sustainable transportation but also provides practical tools and information to help them make informed choices.

As the sole developer on this project, I was responsible for building the entire website using WordPress. This involved selecting and customizing a theme to align with the organization’s branding, integrating various plugins to enhance functionality, and ensuring that the site was responsive and accessible on all devices. The site features interactive maps, guides, and resources that make it easy for users to explore different transportation options and plan their routes.

Throughout the development process, I focused on creating a clean, intuitive design that would appeal to a wide audience, from daily commuters to tourists visiting the region. The website also includes tools for tracking transportation-related initiatives and events, further engaging the community in sustainable practices.

My Role

As the only developer on the Go Buffalo Niagara website project, I was responsible for all aspects of the site’s development. Working within WordPress, I managed everything from the initial design and layout to the implementation of key features and functionalities. My role required a deep understanding of WordPress development, including theme customization, plugin integration, and performance optimization.

I focused on creating a website that was not only visually appealing but also highly functional and user-friendly. This included integrating interactive elements like maps and guides, which provide users with valuable information on sustainable transportation options in the region. I also ensured that the site was fully responsive, delivering a seamless experience across all devices.

In addition to the core development tasks, I worked closely with stakeholders to ensure that the website met their needs and aligned with the overall goals of the Go Buffalo Niagara initiative. The result was a robust and engaging platform that plays a key role in promoting sustainable transportation in the Buffalo Niagara area. This project highlighted my ability to independently manage and execute a full-scale web development project, from concept to completion, while delivering a high-quality product that serves the community.
