Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit

Assisting the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit (JFMD)’s in its philanthropic mission required migrating from Joomla to WordPress, email marketing, and a lot of HTML email templates. http://jewishdetroit.org/

Joining the JFMD Web Team gave us the resources to keep pace with the numerous event-based landing pages and custom HTML email templates that needed to be built. Switching web development to WordPress allowed us to develop custom templates as a project base. Web fonts gave us a better look, and Git began to allow us to manage our code more humanely.
