My first process-wire site for a client! Been working on it this week, will add a blog. It was my first 2.4 project. I'm loving 2.4. I put a font awesome icon on everything in the backend! makes me feel good to have icons for some reason. I am hoping I can just save this site as a "template" and use it for future projects as a base. 
 

+ this was my first zerb site.

I started this project as a wordpress project using Avada theme. a theme that got like 20,000 downloads or something crazy. It looked ultra flexible. But when it came time for client to edit, and they saw all the short-codes, they said forget it!

(this is an example of an "easy page": the home page had more shortcodes then content)

So I decided to give PW a try. It made for a much cleaner solution. (screen shot of home page) the page got more complex, and the client is editing happily.

Anyway that is my success story, still working on the the project now, and open to any feedback and tips.

Well-done Neeks! That's a really beautiful site! I am glad you are enjoying PW!

Is the site complete? Currently all (?) links seem to be taking me to the contact page? - sorry, my bad

Btw, may I suggest that you rename the title of this thread? E.g. Principled EDU? :-)

thanks, I noticed that right away and  was trying to figure out how to do that....
 
thanks, just changed it!
 
Another feature that I thought would be cool would be to minimize repeaters be default.  This might already be a feature but I could not find it.  Example:

You will have to edit your post using the full editor in order to edit the subject line...

Nice one Neeks and thanks for demonstrating so clearly the difference between WP and PW (see what I did there?) when it comes to developing for the actual client.

Nice graphics and site, too.

Seeing one possible issue in CSS for h1,h2 etc - font stack is 'Gilda Display', which isn't loaded (on home page, at least), whereas Open Sans & Julius Sans One are.
