    Wilson Wholesale Supply – Oxygen to Divi WordPress Website Rebuild

    Rebuilt an existing corporate WordPress website from Oxygen Builder into Divi to create a more maintainable and flexible website environment.

    The project involved recreating responsive desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts, rebuilding page structures in Divi, configuring reusable sections and modules, updating navigation, and maintaining consistent branding and functionality throughout the transition.

    I also handled HTML/CSS adjustments, image optimization, website troubleshooting, hosting and DNS-related issues, backups, security, and live-site maintenance.

    This project gave me practical experience taking over an existing WordPress site built with another page builder and successfully rebuilding it in Divi while preserving usability and ongoing site functionality.
