About this build
This site is built on WordPress using a Framework Utility that uses utility classes and variables to power the site. From responsive sizing on content to responsive sizing on fonts, it dynamically adjusts the site to properly display on a variety of devices. The variable framework also uses global colors and sizing units that can be easily adjusted from one location verses potentially hundreds. The Framework coupled with semantically proper HTML ensure that the code is sufficiently layered in a way that makes the HTML lightweight and easy to identify (Header, Main, Footer).
The content management flow has been customized so that it allows the client to easily edit the areas that change the most. The site is also powered by dynamic content that is input on the back end and then is automatically updated and displayed on the front end that all changes based on date, location and more. This means that front end changes are dramatically reduced.
All of this is optimized by use of server and site caching & optimizing that is based on LiteSpeed technology. The site is designed to handle the content and deliver it quickly during heavy traffic demands. All images are optimized and converted to next generation formats such as WebP to ensure they load quickly without quality loss.
In summary, the Speak Boldly website is a work of art that looks great, functions great, and utilizes best in class practices.
