Hidden Hills Winery
Year: 2026
Project Overview
Hidden Hills Estate Winery is a fictional luxury winery created as a portfolio project to showcase both my design and front-end development skills. From branding and visual identity to dynamic WordPress functionality, the project demonstrates the complete process of designing and building a polished, conversion-focused website. Built with WordPress, Kadence Theme & Blocks, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Custom Post Types (CPT UI), WooCommerce, and custom CSS, the site features dynamic event management, reusable components, responsive layouts, and an elegant shopping experience inspired by boutique wineries.
To improve maintainability and reduce repetitive markup, I developed custom WordPress shortcodes that generate reusable WooCommerce components, allowing product cards to be managed from a single PHP function while maintaining consistent styling and functionality across the site. The result is a scalable website that combines visual storytelling with flexible content management and a premium user experience.
Additional custom functionality includes dynamic event filtering, reusable product components, responsive membership carousels, custom SVG iconography, and Advanced Custom Fields-powered content management.
