I collaborated with Sasha back in 2018 on the qwf.org website. It was a pleasure to work with the QWF team again in 2023 to develop and launch the new literary database website. The previous version of quebecbooks.qwf.org launched in 2006.
— Sasha Endoh, Endoh CollaborativeMelissa is an absolute pleasure to work with. She easily communicates technical information and is knowledgeable about WordPress as well as third-party services. She’s been a great collaborator for a number of projects and I’m always excited for an opportunity to work with her.
This project needed to:
- migrate 2400 books
- I used the WP All Import Pro plugin to migrate the author and book data from the previous website. Later on, I trained the QWF team on how to import books and authors in the future.
- be accessible on all devices
- The original QWF Literary Database website was not mobile-friendly. The new website works flawlessly on all device sizes.
- improve the search experience
- All data on the new website is searchable. Users can search for general terms (such as “montreal”) and even enter a specific ISBN number.
