A Pantheon WordPress site for marine science

The Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies is the marine science program at USC. With SimpsonScarborough, I helped to develop a WordPress site hosted on Pantheon. This was also the first project to use the Alpine Javascript framework. We chose Alpine since it is a very lightweight framework that provides the benefits of a reactive data model while still working directly in the standard DOM. The WordPress theme we developed used Composer to install itself, as well as the Twig templating library for template development. We also used Advanced Custom Fields for block development.
