Ibis WorldWide

Moved the international IBIS conference series off its stock theme and page builder onto a standalone, pixel-identical WordPress theme.

§ Problem

Every IBIS conference leg goes live with its own agenda, speaker roster and registration form. The site ran on a purchased theme with a page builder on top, and content stayed locked inside the builder's format.

§ Approach

I wrote a standalone theme to replace both without disturbing the existing design, turning page-builder block structures into first-class templates inside the theme.

§ Outcome
  • Page-builder dependency removed entirely
  • The design is pixel-identical to before the move
  • A new conference leg fills a template instead of being rebuilt

Separate templates cover conference legs, agenda pages, speaker lists and partnership pages, with content fields managed through ACF.

Registration runs on multi-step forms with conditional fields and payment integration. Event ordering is adjustable by hand, so the running order can change as a date approaches.

The site now runs on a single theme, and design changes no longer depend on plugin updates. Because the look was preserved exactly, nothing changed for returning visitors.
