Project Overview

YesTV is a Canadian television network broadcasting family-friendly and faith-based programming across Canada. The website acts as the network’s central digital platform, providing viewers with information about shows, schedules, and network initiatives.

The platform was developed using WordPress with a custom theme, designed to provide flexible content management while integrating real-time programming information through an external API.

Challenge

• Integrate daily programming schedules from an external API.
• Allow editors to manage diverse page layouts easily.
• Create reusable content components for consistent design.
• Optimize site performance and search engine visibility.
• Support frequent content updates for shows and network information.

Solution

I developed a custom WordPress theme built around reusable content components and a modular architecture. Using Advanced Custom Fields, I implemented flexible custom blocks that allow editors to easily construct pages while maintaining consistent layouts and styling.

The daily programming schedule is retrieved through an external API, ensuring accurate and automatically updated broadcast information without requiring manual updates in the CMS.

The site was also optimized for fast performance and SEO-friendly markup, helping improve discoverability of shows and network content.
