The site had become hard to navigate and hard to maintain. I led the redesign and rebuilt it end to end — stakeholder discovery and design sprints, high-fidelity Figma wireframes, a custom WordPress theme, and the publishing tools staff use day to day. The library, events and contact paths now share one structure, and the organisation can keep them current on its own.
ParentCare.ca
Tylon SohnleI rebuilt ParentCare.ca from a fragmented WordPress site into a more accessible, organized resource for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, including a searchable library of 700+ items.
A searchable catalogue of books and borrowing guidance, kept to one calm, readable page.
Upcoming gatherings, filterable by type, so visitors can find the format that suits them.
A single event page keeps the date, time, location and contact details together.
A direct message form alongside the organisation’s email, address and community links.
I built the site’s behaviour into a custom WordPress theme rather than leaning on paid plugins. Custom post types, metadata and routing give the content its structure, so one entry can appear in every section it belongs to, and the search and filtering run instantly without reloading the page.
I also rebuilt how the site is delivered: critical CSS and conditional assets brought the page-load time from roughly 800 ms to 200 ms. A zero-downtime migration moved it to a new server, with SSL and build integrity validated through local DNS overrides before the live domain switched.
