Role: Primary Developer

Collaboration: Development, Design, Marketing, Project / account management

Project summary:

  • Primary developer for the NDT Forum digital experience, built to match Airlines for America’s established site look and feel so the event felt like a native extension of the main brand property, not a disconnected microsite.
  • Implemented custom registration forms for participant sign-up, wired for clear validation and submission flow appropriate to an event use case.
  • Added outbound links for hotel booking (and related attendee logistics) so registration and travel planning could be connected in one guided path.
  • Used ACF to give the client team a familiar, structured admin workflow for updating forum content over time—aligned with the same general backend approach used elsewhere on the A4A ecosystem.

The Airlines for America Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Forum is an engaging forum enabling NDT professionals and industry leaders to meet each year and discuss current trends, issues and successes in NDT methodologies.

The NDT Forum project was an event-focused build where I was the primary developer. Visually and structurally, it needed to inherit Airlines for America’s design language from the primary site so attendees encountered a consistent, trustworthy brand experience.

Functionally, the centerpiece was participant registration through custom forms tailored to what the forum needed to collect, plus practical attendee support like hotel booking via outbound links so people could move from “register” to “plan travel” without friction. On the operations side, I used ACF to make ongoing updates straightforward: the team could revise event details and on-page content through structured fields rather than ad-hoc HTML edits—consistent with how we approached maintainable WordPress across A4A work.
