About the Project
Joel Found needed a digital home worthy of its bold vision: helping discerning travellers explore the world through the eyes of influential brands and founders. I delivered a custom WordPress build using Elementor Pro and Advanced Custom Fields, creating flexible templates for journeys, themes, destinations, and brand-led itineraries. A dynamic 'Calendar' module lets visitors see where to be (and when), while embedded podcast and newsletter functions drive engagement. The result is a fast, immersive site that positions Joel Found as the go-to curator of extraordinary trips.
