The Challenge
Agency Needs at Scale
As a lean but high-output agency, Seven Fifths’ Creative needed a reliable technical partner who could:
- Convert custom designs (Figma or PSD) into fast, responsive WordPress templates
- Build advanced forms and integrations (like Monday.com with backup and failover logic)
- Provide urgent support when client needs change rapidly
- Offer technical insight during proposal and scoping phases
- Support designers with feedback during the creative process
- Develop reusable frameworks to reduce costs across projects
- Track scope, recommend tools, and communicate solutions clearly to clients
They needed someone who could jump in flexibly, handle a wide range of technical needs, and speak both “client” and “developer.”
The Solution
How I Helped
Working with Seven Fifths, I’ve become a trusted extension of their team, helping meet these challenges by:
- Custom Development: Translating layered designs into flexible WordPress themes, with scalable components and custom plugins for event registration, form automation, and more.
- Advanced Integrations: Building a robust Contact Form 7 to Monday.com integration, including support for file uploads, dynamic fields, failover logging, and custom column mapping.
- Emergency Support: Responding to last-minute bugs and infrastructure issues, keeping client websites and campaigns running smoothly during crunch time.
- Consulting & Planning: Participating in project planning, estimates, and scope reviews; advising on best-fit tools based on budget, timeline, and client expectations.
- Design Collaboration: Consulting with the design team to suggest layout improvements or technical efficiencies before development begins.
- Reusable Templates: Creating flexible WordPress starter templates tailored to their client base, reducing dev time and increasing consistency across sites.
- Client-Facing Support: Assisting with job listing updates, digital invites, book-style site elements, and detailed post-project summaries for transparency.
Through steady, thoughtful collaboration, I’ve helped Seven Fifths deliver high-quality digital experiences without overextending their internal resources.
