Static site rebuild for a nonprofit academic organization, with dead links, broken plugins, and exposed credentials cleaned up.
Took over a nonprofit organization's existing static site, which had accumulated a long tail of front-end bugs: dead links to a removed PHP admin dashboard, unguarded jQuery plugin calls throwing console errors across most pages, missing script includes, and exposed database credentials left in deleted PHP files. Rebuilt it as a clean static frontend deployment.
The Challenge
The site had a PHP/MySQL-backed events CRUD admin panel with hardcoded database and SMTP credentials committed in plaintext — a real security exposure — plus over a dozen separate front-end bugs (missing jQuery includes, wrong script load order, dead image references, unguarded plugin initializations) accumulated across 13 pages.
The Solution
Removed the PHP admin backend entirely (out of scope for a static deployment) and deleted the files containing exposed credentials. Systematically swept every page with automated browser testing to find and fix each console error: guarded every jQuery plugin call against missing elements, fixed script load order, rewrote dead links and image references to local assets, and added missing ES-module script attributes.
Removed hardcoded database & SMTP credentials from the codebase
Fixed console errors across all 13 site pages
Rebuilt navigation and dead links to point to real content
Deployed as a clean, static, fully portable frontend
