custom freetile.js plugin (blog page, intended to be released at some point)
custom home page image slider
meta boxes registered to ‘page’ using css and JS to display on certain page templates on the back end (used for the left and right header areas and the brand strategy content. these are registered using wp_editor to allow for the wysiwyg editor and called using apply_filters(‘the_content’) to allow for shortcode usage).
some css3 box shadows
single-wcreative_work.php…js / jquery rollover events (single.php template for ‘work’ posts.)
