What I Built

I was originally hired to create a script that would generate a PDF file of Listings downloaded from the website. This was completed successfully, but I was then later asked to help complete the website as the client's original programmer left the project. Originally I simply made improvements to the site by allowing the user listing to be easily updated and tweaking various pages, but later they hired a designer to redesign parts of the site, and I made sure my implementations were still working during this process. Eventually, the client decided to go with an entirely new theme. Because of this, I had to completely rewrite the Listing page's scripts manually, instead of using the custom plugin their previous programmer had before. I recreated the plugin features using skills I had learned from working with a different client. The Listings page uses jQuery to load new data via AJAX and insert it onto the page. As you toggle the various search settings the listings are constantly revising the list. In addition, as you scroll down more listings will load automatically, which is a feature I'm very proud of. Later I was asked to improve the process of downloading files on individual listings. I took the plugin that I used originally and completely rewrote it to improve the listings in the backend and add more features to export contacts.
