The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel was MMGY Global’s full rebrand of Southwest Florida’s destination marketing, and I was the sole front-end developer who brought it to the web. MMGY owned the new brand, the “Find Your Island” platform, and the design direction. My job was turning all of that into a living, responsive site on top of an Umbraco back end.
This was a big, content-heavy destination site, not a brochure. It pulled in hundreds of local businesses, restaurants, and hotels, tied them to deep Google Maps integration, and gave those businesses a way to manage their own listings. I built the front end to hold up across every template, from the homepage video hero down to a single event page, and to feel as easy on a phone as it did on a desktop. The version I built has since been replaced by a later redesign.
