Standing up another site on Salesforce

One of the awesome things about salesforce reference architecture (SFRA, for short) is that it drastically reduces the deploy time for a new site. Great analogy; for those of you with a military background, it's the difference between going on mission with a generic loadout and zero intel, and going on mission with a very mission-specific loadout, actionable intel, and overwhelming firepower. For those of you without a military background, it's like... uh, doing a good thing with planning vs doing a mediocre thing.

Watchstation International was a relatively simple site standup, by which I mean that it only took about 9 months to deploy one language. My period of work was around 5 of those months. It began in 2019 and deployed in June of 2020.

Misfit was another relatively simple standup. I designed wireframes (to be fair, not all of the wireframes, but quite a few), designed assets, migrated Misfit's existing customer care documentation to Zendesk, created a number of UI snippets, and carried it through the hypercare period. I also trained a junior designer in Photoshop, which was a surprising lack of knowledge on their part, and how to deliver assets per specification.

There are a number of other sites in the pipeline. Right now the project is scheduled to continue for several years, or until funding runs out, and my development lane is scheduled to handle those site standups.
