Doors Open Pittsburgh is an annual two-day event that provides unique access to explore and experience a collection of iconic, and newly designed buildings in select neighborhoods of Pittsburgh..
Since they currently had all their sites listed on an existing website, I put together an API that would sync up the site data on their desktop site with the custom mobile site that I built. As they made changes to their desktop site, their mobile site would also be updated. no need to make changes in two places!
Tasks included:
- Architected a custom RESTful API to synchronize real-time building data between the legacy CMS and a new mobile-first web application, eliminating 100% of redundant data entry.
- Developed an interactive mobile experience featuring dynamic color-coded categorization, user-defined “Favorites,” and integrated geolocation for turn-by-turn walking directions.
- Engineered a dynamic landing page on the primary desktop site to improve user conversion and site discoverability.
