Nikkita 4 Nine

Role: Web Development, Design

In early 2021, an old coworker from the Shaun Scott campaign texted me about doing another website for a new candidate. I said yes on a whim as I was due for a new freelance project. I was excited to find out the "new candidate" was actually a local hero of mine: activist, lawyer, poet and former mayoral candidate Nikkita K.O. Oliver.

I pulled two late night coding sessions to get the initial site live in time for the site as a static nuxt.js project the same way as I had with Shaun Scott's site.

Implementing Storyblok

After the launch, we brought on my friend Tariku Allen as a co-developer. Tariku made the wise suggestion that rather than keeping the site static we should implement a headless CMS so the campaign staff wouldn't have to come through us for every minor change.

We opted for storyblok, a headless CMS that works well with the nuxt.js and began the process of rebuilding to allow editing in the storyblok interface.
