Huselton, Morgan & Maultsby
Design and development for a company focused on providing accounting services in the Southwest for over 35 years. This website was a fairly large build out, considering I worked on both the design and development of this project. The client wanted several content types, all easily manageable via the Wordpress dashboard. These content types would then display differently based on what ever content type you were viewing at that time, or default settings if you were on a global page like the home page.
