Sheriff campaign website.

Project Overview

Campaign website for a sheriff election. This website had many pages, a simple CMS for news updates, and simple PayPal API setup to accept donations. I created the UI in Adobe XD and built it using Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some basic PHP to run the CMS. All logos and graphics were designed in Adobe CC.
