Van Wilgens is a Connecticut family-owned garden center with a passion for plants. They own 56 acres of land across 5 locations, and have been in business for over 100 years.
My main responsibility on this project was frontend development. One of the key challenges was integrating with the client's existing plant database, which required extensive data normalization using Python to migrate content from their legacy system into dynamic WordPress posts. I also built a custom filter feature to allow users to browse all added plants. Additionally, this was one of Miranda Creative’s few websites to integrate with WooCommerce, which introduced a layer of theme customization and new tools to support their payment processing system.
