Initial Site Launch

In May 2018, we launched a major site update to GameInformer.com.  This updated included a complete overhaul of the content management system (switching from the old system to Drupal) and a visual redesign.  I managed the front end development for the new website and assisted with additional configuration management.

The site update provided much needed modernization for the content management and allowed us to create a responsive site.  It included several feature improvements, including large header areas for images, videos, or galleries, and a customizable area on the the home page to feature various articles.

Dark Mode Update

In April 2019, based on user requests, we added a new dark mode theme to GameInformer.com.  This version gave registered users a preference to change the theme of the website to display light text on a dark background.  I created the alternate front end theme files for the dark mode theme, created administrative settings related to managing the themes, and implemented tools to monitor user settings.
