# 1905 New Media — case study by Easton & Code

> I'm a contract developer for 1905 New Media, a marketing agency — building, rescuing and extending WordPress sites for their clients, and working inside their team's process so the code reads like their own.

## The situation

1905 New Media builds websites and campaigns for their clients. When a project needs more development capacity — or a developer who can step in mid-stream — I join their team.

## What I do

- Build custom WordPress themes on the agency's modern stack (Sage, Blade, Bootstrap and ACF page-builder modules), following their conventions exactly.
- Step into projects already underway: a member portal and fixes for an industry association's site, and a pre-launch online store on a tight deadline.
- Build a new site for a long-established, family-owned construction company, including an animation package on top of the base build.

## How it works

The ticket backlog is the contract. I work from the agency's issues and project boards, raise anything missing with their project managers instead of quietly building or dropping it, and leave every project better documented than I found it.
