The Free For All Walls website is a modern, high-performance platform designed to showcase Windsor, Ontario's mural festival. The project leverages the following technologies:

Backend: WordPress

• Content Management: WordPress serves as the backend, enabling efficient management of content such as mural galleries, event details, and sponsorship information.


• API Integration: Custom REST APIs are built to provide structured data to the front-end application, ensuring smooth interaction between content and user interface.

Frontend: React with Next.js

• Custom-Built Interface: The front end is developed using React and Next.js, providing a responsive, dynamic, and modern user experience.


• Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Next.js allows for server-side rendering, improving performance and SEO by pre-rendering pages for faster load times.


• Interactive Features: Built with React components, the front end includes features like interactive maps, galleries, and user-friendly forms for artists, volunteers, and sponsors.

Technology Integration Highlights

• Dynamic Data Fetching: The API-driven architecture allows real-time content updates from WordPress to the Next.js front end without requiring full-page reloads.


• Cross-Device Optimization: The combination of WordPress and Next.js ensures a seamless experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.


• Scalability: The modular architecture supports easy expansion, such as adding new features or integrating additional APIs.

Why This Stack?
